Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - Will Arsenal bottle it again?

[Regular Developer]

As a new fan, why is everyone congratulating Man City? Do they have an easier schedule coming up or is this just an Arsenal self depreciating thing?

Combination of City having an easier PL schedule, them winning 4 of last 5 titles, hunting down other teams during this stretch with a bigger points gap, and Arsenal having been in a title race for parts of previous seasons, then falling apart at the end.

Martinelli with a goal and assist yet some of you want to make him the scapegoat FOH.

Still, City look more likely to drop points than Arsenal

 

[DapMeUp!]

Should have known it wouldn't be so easy at Anfield even at 2-0 and we learnt the hard way.

Trent and Liverpool put in a masterclass the moment Granit fired them up

Liverpool

West Ham, I know you got sumn for me next week.

West ham? Against Arsenal?

 

[OneManGang]

I would’ve subbed off Martinelli and left on Jesus. And Xhaka needed a sub but we have no 8. Tierney for Xhaka and move Zinchenko. It could all be simple.

 

[UnQuantized]

Martinelli wasn't the issue for me. Arteta's game management and subs were

Even after the run Arsenal was on they still couldt shake City... it might be over.

West ham? Against Arsenal?

They're in a relegation dog fight. A draw will be enough

 

[RickyGQ]

Tierney has to start at City dont care

Why? (Again, new fan)

 

[resistanze]

Zinchenko is a still a city player. Worst on the pitch.

 

[Gilver]

The Barclays is something else bwoi

Title race is over though, done, finished.

City have clicked now, there's no way they don't win it.

I came around to wanting Arsenal to win it as well, but we know the story from here.

 

[TobiOT]

They're in a relegation dog fight. A draw will be enough

Got pinned back by Fulham for the whole game. Only won due to a dodgy own goal.

 

[Rottweiler]

Why? (Again, new fan)

Tierney is a better defender than Zinchenko. Zinchenko only starts because he's more durable (Tierney is injury prone)

Thanks for not Laying down Liverpool.

In another life this would have been 7-2

Arsenal have a but of grit, we just need to be better going forward.
