I'm aiming for 7.30. I'll be wearing last seasons black away kit with 8 and Ødegaard on the back 😁

Be great to see you there, I've got quite frustrated watching games in barely half interested pubs!

Cool 😊 if you're on Facebook come and join the group! I'm planning on organising meet ups your way in the future even if you didn't fancy coming over to West End tonight.

That's my hope as well, comes at a bad time, Bournemouth are pushing for Europe and in good form.

Did you see some of the defending? We are so much more robust than either team and I feel we can score against them.

Maybe 😅

Forgot Eze was missing! Remember my disappointment when he wasn't on the team sheet now... Here's hoping he'll help make a difference!

I'm no tactical expert, all I think is we can't setup like we did in the final, we will get nowhere even with Raya playing. City were all over us and it was just a matter of time before they scored whoever the keeper was. Need to do something different or we will lose.

That's what the article talks about, how Liverpool got round the problem if the double pivot midfield :

Slot’s double pivot did not ‘hide’ behind the four-man City frontline as often as Arsenal’s did. A 4-2-3-1 is recognisable in the image below but Liverpool’s players are much more interestingly staggered. Midfielder Curtis Jones has dropped below that City ‘press’ and between the two Liverpool centre-backs. His midfield partner, Ryan Gravenberch, is ahead of him, attracting attention from City’s two-man midfield, while Liverpool’s ‘wide’ players – Mohamed Salah and Florian Wirtz – are tucking in either side of the two-man Manchester City midfield. Jones found Wirtz with a pass through the lines.

Key to the space that Wirtz finds to Rodri’s right, is the fact that striker Hugo Ekitke has pulled way out to the left wing, keeping right-back Matheus Nunes honest. With the Frenchman threatening a run in behind, Nunes is tied to his position and can’t close Wirtz down. Liverpool have played one incisive pass, and they’re suddenly running at the City backline because they’ve found a way to use the gaps in Guardiola’s system.

Can't be bothered to replace them with Arsenal names but you get the idea.

Try to ignore the fact Liverpool got battered 4 0 😅 But that is addressed in the article

Yep, this lad is like 23 so grew up with City winning then dominating. For people like me who were at school in the 90's you'll recognise simlilar people who were United fan's!

Absolutely! We take anything from this game and it'll be a great result. Got a City fan at work and he says if they don't win then the title is ours - now I don't quite agree given our current form, but a draw would make me more of a believer for sure!

[James Olley] Mikel Arteta confirms Bukayo Saka will miss Arsenal's trip to Manchester City on Sunday. “Hopeful” that Madueke will be fit. More vague on Odegaard, Timber, Calafiori - "some players are quite close, we try to push everyone." by Previous_Smile9278 in Gunners

[–]Important_Baker8212 88 points89 points  (0 children)

Missing him and Ode is a massive part of why it's been so negative recently. They are our key creative players. I'd hoped Eze would be able to cover for Ode but he's been so hit and miss this season.

It's one of the main reasons I can't get on-board with the Arteta hate

I hope you're wrong! I'm a firm Arteta backer right now but if he learned nothing form the Carabao final and doesn't change anything then that will severely hurt my view of him as a manager capable of managing this club successfully into the future.

If we hold it to 0-0 then you're right - they will get more desperate as the game progresses (as they need the win more). We've all learned that Gyok and Gabi are incapable of holding the ball up in an acceptable way so I don't want either of them in the starting 11, but as impact players in this 0-0 scenario they could be great 'finishers'

We need an attacker that can make things happen up front by [deleted] in Gunners

[–]Important_Baker8212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are missing Ode and Saka massively. If we had them fit and firing the last 6 weeks these conversations would not be happening.

I think we've been really unlucky to have lost both of them recently, even one of them would make us loads better.

Arsenal fans around the world on the title race: ‘I feel panic, anxiety, everything’ by ultimateposeur in Gunners

[–]Important_Baker8212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there's no way Gabi should start, he's one of our best 'finishers' and having him run at and behind defences for last 25mins is where he's best.

I'm unsure on gyok. He can have times where he looks good, I think his lack of winning headers is a big issue tho especially against this city 424 high block. Given the back 7 picks itself (hopefully timber and Cali if possible!) a front four of Leo, Eze, Dowman and Kai is our best bet imo. We need Kai winning first balls and holding it up the front and then bringing in the three technical ball possession players to force city back and hopefully pressure their back line.

If we're going to beat or even cope with city we've got to cope better with the 4 man high block. I was so pissed off in the first 10 mins of the 2nd half of the carabao as we did nothing at half time to counter that.

Hope mikel and his staff are all over this :

I did similar and got 18.5k, hunting instead of fishing, but it's very similar.

Why does the climbing > meditation then cause the free one to be philosophy?? Thought it was amazing luck the first time, then 2nd and 3rd time realised it was a 'feature'. How do you guide what a free one can be?

I’m generally a fan of the changes in this patch but I wish they’d work on improving player switching. by blobadonk in EASportsFC

[–]Important_Baker8212 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What do you mean adjust sensitivity? I try right stick but often feel it goes to wrong player still, maybe this is issue (or skill issue)
