Havertz gets a 7.0 rating with ZERO % pass success ?
That red card is out of this world....
That extra long added time is one of the things that absolutely suck in modern football. When you're chasing an equaliser or a winner, it's one thing to get 3-4 minutes of added time like it used to be, it's completely different to get 8 minutes, let alone more than 10. Players' motivation is different.
@Sputnik Yeah I know, God forbid we actually get close to 90min of actual football. Take me back to when we had around 60min.
@RobertoElg Your first comment in 2 years and you chose to post *this*?
@Sputnik i know right. Math is here just to hurt our feelings
@DzidaZawodnik Yes, it is.
Arsenal winning this would've been a disgrace...parking the buss for more than 60 minutes...
@moo13 Joke Comment of the Day
@moo13 nice football analytics, they played 10 vs 11
@Oversoul All thanks to the FA and Michael Oliver. Never a red card.
@Sputnik Maybe it was 2nd yellow?
@tar88s You know exactly what I meant, smarta*s!
City lucky
Guardiola is mentally retarded, Playing 11 vs 10 against a quality compact in defense team first thing you do is stretch opponents with pacy wingers - he forced City to play boring 1m passes and focus on the middle and either shot by DM or CD making crosses with no pace for gk to grab. He destroyed Doku who is the walking definition of a pacy winger who can cross from the by-line on the run.
@koziol.mutant goal was after the corner and since 65' was 0 corners till that one. It validates the above even more.
take silva off ,put foden on ,hes a match winner ,or grealish he,ll dive for a soft penalty
Ederson so far Flop of the Day
rodri the woos
lol looks like saka eats the plain chocolate
MAN CITY Ederson, Walker, Akanji, Dias, Gvardiol, Rodri, Savinho, Silva, Doku, Gundogan, Haaland.
ARSENAL Raya, Calafiori, Saliba, Gabriel, Timber, Havertz, Partey, Rice, Saka, Trossard, Martinelli.
1-1
BTTS for sure 100%
@Ortega_10 what is btts ?
@TedEriksen Before Trump takes a sh*t
City would win easily with any other coach than Guardiola! That guy is the biggest fluke after Mourinho! One was made by Didier Drogba and Samuel Eto'o, the other one was made by Ronaldinho and Messi! I wonder if he can screw up even when Odegaard and many other quality players are missing from Arsenal? I think he is capable of anything but winning. The excessively static, old boys style football of City does not suit Haaland at all: he thrives on a quick, one touch passing game with plenty of turnovers from which he can explode into action in a counterattack mode and beat the keeper at will. Dortmund was a perfect match for him, but he chose the money and now suffers from the price he has to pay. Don't be misled by the first 2 weeks' performance: I am talking about his all around "development" at City - his numbers are only better because there are. much more games in the Premiership; adjusted for that, Haaland's Bundesliga numbers are much better!
@Zoltan are you ok bro? Haaland scored 9 in 4 games so far this season and during his first season at Man city he scored 36 goals. He was never near that amount of goals in any of the season at Dortmund lol.
@Zoltan give me some of that stuff you take dude !!!!
Arsenal are stronger than last season. I don’t believe City are anywhere near their devastating form of last season’s end. Halaand will be handled by the Arsenal defence and there’s no other goal threats from City. I see this game being a low score. If anything City will score first. but Arsenal will widen the play with their perfect attacking style lead by Havertz who is arguably the best false 9 in the league. I think both teams are capable of beating one another. I’m going for a 1:1. I believe Inter was an easier team for City than Arsenal and they couldn’t score against one another. Pep’s probably happy Odergaard is not playing as everything ticks from that guy for Arsenal. Arsenal have many goal scorers and i believe Mikel must preserve Trossard and bring him on in second half. Play Martinelli as a striker, Sterling LW. Saka RW. Havertz false 9/10. Jorginho CM. Partey and Rice CAD. And the Timber. Gabi, Saliba/ White defence. I would like Arsenal to win but a 1:1 is fair.
Where is Rico Lewis?
Man City 3-1
Man city -1 AH
antifootball derby so 0-0;)
under 2.5 goals
@FF2021 Ridiculous, isn't it? Under 2.5 goals with Haaland on board! THAT would have never happened in his old team, Dortmund! THAT shows not only how bad coach is Guardiola, but also how defensive and static the Premiership is: explosive, fast players cannot thrive in it because there is no pressing of the ball, therefore there are no turnovers, therefore there are no counterattacks, therefore explosive players cannot thrive, therefore you are doomed to watch a boring game dominated by seemingly great goalkeeper performances. In reality, however, the Premiership playing style suits goalkeepers very much: there is not much creativity in the Premiership that would trick and challenge goalkeepers - everything is very predictable, so it is easy to keep clean sheets for the keepers.
@Zoltan maybe you didnt watch last season match round 30 that ended 0:0 , and even you didnt watch City against Inter that ended 0:0 also ))))))))))
