Arsenal's as always play offensive with smaller teams. With a big team arsenal's always couchy.
@chopstickboy It was a strategic draw, come on! Arsenal played a good tactical game, not to mention that they are the only team not to concede at the Etihad Stadium this season. Cut Arteta some slack for a change, he has done a wonderful job!
predictable shyt, go Liver for a title:)
If I had spent those 2 hours and change watching paint dry, at least I wouldn’t have had to listen to Theo Walcott compare Saliba to van Dijk
@sarigginsUSA Lol.. After an hour, I turned this garbage off.. I'd rather watch paint dry too.. Did Walcott say Saliba is as good as Van Dijk?? No defender in England is as good as him, but it's Walcott, a one-dimensional player who couldn't dribble for 14 years
@Kingjigga What’s most frustrating is that for all the criticisms (many of which are justified, tbf) of Liverpool and Klopp, we always, always go for it in big games, and always put on a show that’s worth the time and money. Meanwhile, for all the plaudits, fanfare, and media attention these two teams get, they have a pervasive habit of time wasting, crowding the ref, and essentially being the tiki-taka equivalent of anti-football. If this City side is the objective apex of modern football, then clearly something is wrong with the game, because they are absolutely shocking to watch
@sarigginsUSA Agreed.. And let's not even lie, City got lucky winning the UCL, and has always been lucky with their opponents(not saying that teams are weak, but not as strong as others).. Every Liverpool game is a must watch, regardless of the opponent, and there's a reason we've only lost 2 matches in the EPL so far... There's a reason even why Chelsea has more UCL trophies than all European trophies combined between City and Arsenal
@Kingjigga Liverpool and Bayern Munich fans being deep in each other's bum holes... Why am I not surprised?
75 minutes gone and Salah had more shots today than both these teams combined…
@sarigginsUSA So what, that's not how football works. Halland still the top scorer
Both teams are so concerned about dropping points that neither are playing well...
Insane that Mac Allister and van Dijk got yellow cards for what arguably weren’t even fouls, and yet Arsenal having committed 7 or 8 very cynical fouls already haven’t even received one. Beating a dead horse with this one, but the standard of refereeing in this league is farcical.
@sarigginsUSA Will you guys stop playing the victims? There is no conspiracy against Liverpool. This is precisely why everyone hates your club.
@Sputnik When did I say there was?
@Sputnik there's no conspiracy… but everyone hates them?
@cimbricus Yes, because they constantly play the victims and claim there is a conspiracy against them winning the league. When they lose points, it's never their fault. What exactly did you not understand?
@Sputnik If you set aside your own personal vendetta against me for the time it takes one neuron synapse to send a signal to another, you would realize that the point I was making here was not about Liverpool specifically but the fact that their is no consistency. BUT If you really want to go down the rabbit hole, you should read about the midweek UAE league trips many prem refs have taken at paygrades around 15-20k a pop, as well as watch side by side comparisons of different penalty and var calls in games involving Liverpool and games not involving Liverpool. Might need to fact check the source but I think it was Opta as well that a few months back did a meta analysis of major calls in games between 2 big 6 clubs and found that Liverpool suffered by something like a 1.5 major decisions per game split in correct vs in game calls. I don’t even think it’s a conspiracy against Liverpool though, I think it’s as simple as unprofessional and incompetent referees.
@sarigginsUSA I don't have a personal vendetta against you, I've never even met you, HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
1-1
De Bruyne is perhaps my favorite player to watch outside of Liverpool, but he’s looked absolute miles off it so far. Hopefully still just getting back into form and not indicative of an actual decline
city 11-5
11-5 city
MAN CITY Ortega, Akanji, Dias, Ake, Gvardiol, Rodrigo, Kovacic, De Bruyne (C), Bernardo, Foden, Haaland
SUBS Carson, Stones, Grealish, Doku, Alvarez, Gomez, Nunes, Bobb, Lewis
City 2-1
Arsenal stands a chance to win this. If martinelli comes with his exploding speed and walker is unavailable to stop him then I see 1-2 in favour of arsenal
Man City 3-1
under 2.5 goals, will be defense/posession titi-kaka, first approach by both.
@koziol.mutant With Pool winning their match a low scoring match is on the cards for sure, as neither team can afford to lose.
1:2 Arsenal
Ederson, Kevin De Bruyne and Jack Grealish will all have late fitness checks after training with the academy this week.
Arsenal to win this tie. 1:2/3/0:2
City win/draw
Watch all of Man City's players "injured" during/just before the international break. Miraculously be back fit enough to start on Sunday.
draw again
Arsenal have lost each of their last 8 visits to City who have won 12 of their last 13 EPL clashes against Arsenal.
@Marbella "All good things come to an end." - Nelly Furtado
City have lost only 1 of their last 10 meetings with Arsenal in 90 minutes.
