daveP: I really want us to reignite our PK sector. We can go weeks or months without one, across all competitions. At least let's add it to our "dark arts" This one go sweet belle. Jover over to you o. Find a way. We'll need this in the UCL in particular. I once suggested this especially when Saka go jump leg against Brighton when that contact would have been a pure pk and a possible 3pts I noticed most top teams have high frequency PKs and that's because they exploit any trailing legs expertly. It's no crime to do that at all especially when the defenders are careless. Against Bournemouth last season, after our huffing and puffing, it was smart play by Havertz to cleverly force a pk from Bournemouth keeper that opened the flood gates(2nd leg). Same thing against Crystal palace first leg when Nketiah forced a pk from their keeper (which resulted in our only goal of the game). Odegaard had exact same scenario as Saka(vs Brighton) against Bournemouth last season (1st leg) and he quickly exploited the defender's carelessness. It's not always nice to be "righteous" especially in football. We were during Wenger time and we saw how it backfired spectacularly. |

🤨🤨 So it's now a bookable offence for a bench player to talk to his own player inside the pitch?? I didn't know oo.  I mean, all these things that's happening is something that's seen as normal before, something we were trolled for years ago for not being smart. Now we're doing it , it's now a crime? Wahala |

DeeScan: no i'm making reference to the Spurs game as a. constant reminder to how low arsenal went against them .. you guys are bragging about having a draw game against city at Etihad beign a man down but the truth bis being a man down or not , you guys were still going to pack bus at the 2nd half .. if you could do that against spurs why not man city ...
I would be expecting arteta to pack bunch of aeroplanes against Liverpool I can see you're doing a great job while at it cos you've been saying it from Chelsea thread to Man u thread and here (twice). I believe you suppose type am for your thread too and also Man City thread (that one go dey page 2 of this euro section). Once you're done, let me know. Gracias  |

That is all shades of disgraceful. You're still crying for Spurs game 2 games after?  Seems you're more Spursy than Liverpool  |

BlueRayDick: This what the Man city players desired , unfortunately we dashed their hope and that of the rival fans that have been wailing about the outcome of the match. Lmaoo.. You even bring receipt of all the whole big 6 and their results with red card.  But to be honest, that's what they expected. Maybe come 2nd half, score us 4 more goals to make it 5-2, then do one kind backhanded "compliment" on our players on how they were good but were "unfortunate" to concede 4 more goals. Dem never serious. Haaland himself who's mostly cool lost his head that day even went as far as confronting Arteta. You could clearly see that this rivalry is really entering their skin  |

If so he will be available to face Leicester city This was just what I wanted to confirm/clarify |

mostob: Read a stat that says there was 1.07 seconds between the time the ref whistled and when Trossard kicked the ball... I watched the highlight again and I noticed Trossard kinda withdrew a bit as he was about to kicked the ball. Olivia is just shameless It's was so glaring to see that when Trossard kicked the ball was almost same time as when the ref whistled. I was even vexing saying that yellow card was soft thinking it was for a foul only to realize that it's for kicking the ball away. Na that one even make me mad pass. Oliver know wetin him deh do |

Roland17: See ehn, if anything, yesterday proved that City can no longer underestimate Arsenal irrespective of the style. Gone are the days City approach games against Arsenal thinking they will just stroll around the pitch and leave us with loads of goals to deal with. They now know they are going to be tested and the margin in quality isn't a gulf anymore. We need to mentally move on from yesterday's game and focus on the coming games where we should get maximum points. For Man City players to take a dig on our players about trophilessness and start comparing us to Liverpool, they already know the rivalry is real and this is not the arsenal of before. I believe the players will mentally move on and be motivated about everything henceforth |

Jamiuokolaa: The PL keeps football fans salivating throughout the year - the yuletide period inclusive...
Whilst other players are in Father Christmas costumes, EPL players are sweating it out 2 -3 games per week...just to maintain the excitement football fans crave
Considering the fact that other league resume fresher in January, PL teams (in CL/UEL) should be adequately compensated..
In fact, any PL team that qualifies for the semis should be granted automatic qualification for the next season  Lol, nobody send epl to deh do oversabi so I wonder why they should be compensated. If fa can't afford their players rest during Christmas break, then uefa shouldn't bear any brunt of any compensation. I don't know about other leagues but I notice say na only epl players dey complain. Rodri, Kdb, Allison. Make epl adjust abeg or the players should STFU! |

Please I would love someone to clarify me |

BlueRayDick: Aswear! I always see ref's mistakes as just innocent mistakes or getting carried away in the heat of the matter, but Oliver obviously agenda going by his history in this particular fixture. Just take a look at Doku kicking of ball away. It was right at his front, he saw it yet he pretended nothing happened. But just see the stupid and unfair yellow card he gave Trossard. I just went through the link now and I saw that no8 — the dirty things Haaland was doing. No yellow card, no nothing. Our players collected yellow cards for less. There's a reason Oliver deh always/mostly referee big matches when it comes to Man City. |

I always give officials benefit of doubt because I believe they're humans and they can miss a call(or sort) but Oliver have proven over and over again that he has something in favor of Man City |

daveP: Who has seen the Rude Haaland clip? Omo Ben White wanted to go ballistic but Teta stopped him.
Just watched a clip of all the rough moves of Haaland on our players and he didn't get a warning or a card.
Besides, why is it always and only the corrupt Howard Webb that's in the studio to explain all these nonsense poor refereeing?
For our side, we need to end the time wasting antics, we don't need it. 5 games and 2 red cards is the last thing we need right now. We should be cunnier.
Haaland don dey act like Lucifer.
We still need a striker. Dedication is why no one wants to even focus on Kai for that game. The way Haaland barged on Saliba those early minutes and the way Saliba fell with his arms to the floor, my heart was in my mouth thinking Saliba would get injured. I believe all those "Haaland was locked by Gabriel and Saliba last season" really entered the guy cos those early minutes he was really aggressive with them but Las Las those two prove say dem strong pass am. But na rivals deh cry say na we comot Rodri when na Rodri go wound himself by himself. Also while I was one of those who blamed Rice for acting irresponsibly with his red, Trossard certainly have no blame here. Oliver just wanted to send him off cos that was even though Trossard kicked the ball away, he did it within the confines of the rule. |

Last season, this stupid Michae Oliver said the reason why he didn't send Kovacic off was because he didn't want to spoil the game of such magnitude. Even though Kovacic two fouls was red card and yellow card worthy in that match.
Same him sent off Trossard ystdy even though it's the same teams playing and the same high stake match. What's even more annoying was that when Trossard kicked the ball away, it was almost the same time he was whistling for the foul which meant that Trossard wasn't even trying to delay restart.(since he didn't play it after the whistle).
They should just jejely give Man City the league make everybody go rest cos it's really annoying. Man City on their own are beasts. With the aid of refs, then what the hell are we competing for?? |

Spy360: When you see a well drilled team it's the manager.
Can we all now accept that Arteta was right about not needing a striker?
Three tough away games and we almost came out with 9points.
Without our best player Odegaard for two of those games.
Arteta deserves his flowers Didn't want to talk about this initially but you brought it up. Getting a striker (esp like Osimhen or Gyokeres) is the differences between us not getting all 15points. Someone like Gyokeres/Osimhen would have converted that Havertz chance against Brighton and against Man City ystdy, we would have been more deadly winning aerial balls during the 2nd half something Havertz was really dominated on. Osimhen especially would have been a menace against those defenders ystdy with his endless running through channels and aerial duels. I'm even certain there would have been a Torres against Barca deja Vu sef. But yeah, Arteta deserves he flowers the way he set us up both times when we were a man down. All credits to him and the players |

BlueRayDick: I agree Martinelli wasn’t all that yesterday attack-wise , but if we will be truthful to ourselves there’s no way we could’ve shown any attacking intent with city laying siege on our box for the second 45minutes of the game .
I believe if the game had entered second half with Arsenal having 11 men on the pitch , we would’ve caught them off guard again.
That being said , kudos to everyone that played their part.
I’m not even bothered by rival fans parroting all sorts of nonsense and making permutations about our performance in the game.
The people that matter have given their opinion about the game and it is word of admiration for our resilience I wasn't even talking about the 2nd half. It would be inconsiderate of me to criticize his attacking game 2nd half cos of the situation that happened. I was mostly talking about first half. Maybe I was expecting too much from him sha seeing that it Walker but on the other side, Saka was making moves and creating space. As for the game ystdy, na only people wey bias go dey yarn nonsense. Any true lover of football would know what we did ystdy wasn't easy at all hence will surely give us our kudos. By the way, how do you see Trossard as our no10 ystdy before the red. I felt he was impressive in that role |

Spy360: Spot on. The boys tried abeg. The only culprit was Jesus. He started well owning Silva but that.mistake of giving City a corner when he could have cleared the ball messed his efforts He messed up with that corner quite all right but then I believe there is this confidence in our team that we're no longer conceding goals through corner so we're not afraid to give it out. Most of our Corners ystdy, Timber was always alert for either the short corner Man City might want to take or if it's the other side, then Calafiori. I believe it was MLS that switched off (probably due to inexperience) and that gave them the impetus to pass that ball into the dangerous zone in our 18yard box. With Timber ystdy, we would never had conceded that late heartbreaking goal |

BlueRayDick: As much as we all believe Martinelli didn’t play well in the game , it is funny that he owned the assist for that Calafiori goal.
I strongly believe if that red card card incident didn’t happen , he(Martinelli ) would’ve caught Walker off guard more than once in the game like he did for the assist . Yeah, he owned the assist but that goal looks more like Calafiori goal than the assist. Also it had to be said that we exploited the situation quickly from that free kick as Man City were settling and Walker was speaking to the ref What's paining me against Martinelli ystdy was that he felt like a mismatch Vs Walker. Man most times even gave up trying when competing against him in any duels. It was just his defensive masterclass I appreciate cos it was really needed ystdy but as an outlet, he really fumbled |
