I used to be so afraid of Phil Foden, but... honestly it feels like he's regressed a bit.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

He wants to play central but Alverez took his spot. Grealish and Doku start over him wide, so he probably feels threatened.

It’s a system thing, Alvarez and Foden usually play on opposite sides of midfield. Pep prefers a left footer on the left of midfield and vice versa, the problem is when City move to their 442 shape in defence neither Alvarez nor Foden can play alongside Rodri so Bernardo has to play.

If Alvarez gets dropped it means Lewis or Nunes can play on the right of midfield, Foden plays on the left of midfield and Bernardo can play RW. In the Leipzig game we saw exactly this and it was probably City’s best performance all season.

All the Arsenal fans getting way too excited by this result. There's a LONG way to go and if your living off other teams results this early then you're going to be bags of nerves come the last 10 games

Lots of Liverpool fans getting too excited and already talking about the return match at Anfield too as if they’ll magically win because of how things played out today. Arsenal fans should be happy that the teams in front of them dropped points.

These close games showing how pivotal KDB is. Alvarez has been a ghost nearly every tough match this season & his SP delivery is awful compared to KDB. He’s got a great work rate, but creatively it’s very clearly he’s a forward in a midfielder’s position.

I'm glad Haaland's ankle healed in time for him to score against us and break another record.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

and Ederson was also fit when he didnt even travel with Brazil

Glad we secured a point here as many of our players looked tired and we can absolutely win at Anfield with a better time slot and the crowd.

This game was a prime example of why you shouldn't have the biggest fixtures of the season at fucking 12:30 in the afternoon. Both sides looked very slow and tired. If this was played at 17:30 it would have been a way better game.

i dont get this, what difference does a few hrs really make?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

1230 means they wake up waaay earlier to prepare

Saw the fracas between Nunez and Pep. Was quite serious. What exactly sparked that? Did Pep say something derogatory to Darwin?

It was pragmatic from Klopp, and it paid off. I'll take a draw at Etihad, but our team still has a long way to go.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

We had a whole bunch of players who played all around the world for the last two weeks.

City... Didn't.

A draw is a seriously great result and the performance wasn't as bad as some are making out.

It's a great result, especially as City had much greater control of the game and more/better chances

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Pep said to Nunez "you are going up", because he knows - "Chaos is a laddah!"
