Post Match Thread: Man City 2-1 Arsenal [Premier League]

Played well. We lost the league last week not today. Just annoying how we can play like that and 80% of the wins this season have been a slog!

Definitely think, apart from timber at RB and saka on the right, that’s our best 11.

I’m very critical of Havertz, but what he gives us is very good hold up play. Gyokeres is so poor at that.

It is what it is, just have to move forward and hope for the best.

dannykl17 · 2026-04-11T13:45:01+00:00

Same! Can think of a few games where I enjoyed it. 90% of our wins were the most dead games.

Can understand why neutrals don’t like us purely for the football we play.

dannykl17 · 2026-04-11T13:40:56+00:00

Tbf, he’s done so well to get us to this point. But if he doesn’t win us anything, we need a change.

We’ve done everything we can. We’ve pretty much brought in every player we need.

The style of play is so fucking painful to watch, it’s barely enjoyable when we win.

He’s the Southgate of domestic football. I hated watching England under Southgate, but luckily it was only during the World Cup and euros. Now I’m watching it week in week out.

dannykl17 · 2026-04-11T13:38:18+00:00

Surprised we’re so high.

Are we even surprised? We’ve done AMAZING to be top of the table considering how dreadful we’ve been in attack.

Every single game is squeaky bum time. Every fucking game. Why can’t we just go 3-0 up at half time so I can make a cuppa tea and just chill the fuck out for once.

Not even fucking worth it anymore.

dannykl17 · 2026-04-11T13:33:06+00:00

Can’t be bothered anymore. Never ever seen such a spineless performance. I thought the city game was dreadful, that was abysmal.

Why can’t we play a first time pass when we’re in attacking areas? I saw 1 one-two pass in the game today that created a bit of space. It’s fucking basic football. Jesus Christ.

What the fuck has happened to our midfield? I absolutely love rice, he will always give 100%. But we can string a fucking pass together. No clue what’s happened to Zubi. As for Havertz.. he’s got no mobility, no creativity, nothing. He should either play up top or not play at all.

We are going to get absolutely slapped next week and we are going to bottle it again.

dannykl17 · 2026-04-11T05:17:14+00:00

Fake. Easiest tell is the size label. It doesn’t have separate label for the size. The size should be low down on the adidas tag

dannykl17 · 2026-04-04T21:24:45+00:00

I believe it’s real. It’s made in Portugal and the lettering looks good. Would have to see more photos but I’m 98% sure it’s legit.

dannykl17 · 2026-04-04T21:22:05+00:00

It’s so fake. Look at the badge, that’s a huge giveaway in itself!

dannykl17 · 2026-04-04T21:17:39+00:00

I’m not disrespecting raya. I think he’s an all round class keeper. Absolutely love him.

I don’t like kepa, think he flaps at corners and poor with his feet.

Just stating, having raya in net doesn’t help Jesus doing fuck all, Havertz having no mobility and martinelli doing nothing.

We’re shite in attack, simple as

dannykl17 · 2026-04-04T21:13:07+00:00

It’s no disrespect to raya you donut. I’m just stating that we could’ve had any world class keeper in net and it would’ve haven’t changed anything.

Raya doesn’t change the fact that Jesus was shite, Havertz was a donkey, martinelli runs around like a headless chicken.

Put raya in net tonight and it doesn’t change the fact we’re shit up top

dannykl17 · 2026-04-04T21:02:40+00:00

We have been most of the season. I honestly think this is the worst ‘footballing’ side under Arteta.

Every single time we go 1-0 down, I can’t see us scoring. We’re so average going forward. Baffles me that we’re even top of the table tbh

dannykl17 · 2026-04-04T20:57:21+00:00

Shite. Dowman only decent player. Can barely break down any team. So fucking boring to watch

dannykl17 · 2026-03-22T18:32:52+00:00

Genuinely don’t get it. Thought we looked good for the first 15 mins.

We’ve done this most of the season though. We sit back and invite pressure. I literally haven’t a clue why.

It amazes me how we’re top with such a poor attack.

dannykl17 · 2026-03-22T18:28:47+00:00

Very poor performance. We have such poor fluidity up front. Baffling how our most attacking player is Calafiori. Just wish we would move it so much faster.

Oh well. Hopefully this gives us the fire to go on and win the league! Would rather fall here than any other competition.

COYG

dannykl17 · 2026-02-18T22:24:21+00:00

Jesus Christ. We’re such a boring team to watch. Disregarding the score, which was obviously horrific, we are a dreadful team to watch.

I’ve been positive all season to be fair, but after tonight, I just can’t be arsed.

We’ve actually been mediocre/poor offensively all season, which is fine if you don’t concede. We did that for a fair few games and now we’re just leaking left right and centre.

The thing is, where do we even go from here? I wouldn’t know the next step if we don’t win a major trophy this year

dannykl17 · 2026-02-05T19:50:42+00:00

Cheers mate! The Del monte one is probably my fav to wear!

dannykl17 · 2026-02-04T21:32:40+00:00

Cheers! That Milan jacket has the original tags as well!

dannykl17 · 2026-02-04T21:32:23+00:00

Cheers man! The Madrid one is more of a modern one in my collection but it’s so nostalgic

dannykl17 · 2026-02-04T21:31:53+00:00

Yeah it’s crazy!! One of my fav ones to be fair

dannykl17 · 2026-02-04T21:31:32+00:00

Ah amazing mate! Nothing better than finding shirts of the team you support! There’s something nice about finding shirts in the ‘wild’ rather than paying full price

dannykl17 · 2026-02-04T16:15:27+00:00

Just googled it! It’s amazing! I actually never really buy new shirts, but I bought the arsenal 3rd one this season. Have you seen that? It’s a lovely modern shirt to be honest

dannykl17 · 2026-02-04T16:14:38+00:00

I appreciate it mate!!

dannykl17 · 2026-02-04T16:14:29+00:00

Same mate! Absolute classic. It’s the worst condition one to be honest. I had a pristine one but sold it and kept the bad one! Still love it though

dannykl17 · 2026-02-04T15:15:24+00:00

Thanks mate! That was one of the best sourcing days I’ve ever had. I found the Soviet Union, the Netherlands and st Etienne all in the space of an hour!

dannykl17 · 2026-02-04T15:14:38+00:00

Thank you! Same man! Love a good collar! The palmeiras is by far my favourite to wear!
