They all make a good point. But before Rodri's 3 match ban, they were also the same people saying no one can stop Man City this season
Would you to consider my point for a future debate : If the EPL can look at a player who physically assaults another player without the officials seeing it on the day and can call the players actions into question and ban them for a number of games. Why can this not be done with wrong refeeree and VAR decisions, why doesn't Kovacic retrospectively get a red card today and the subsequent ban, why doesn't a goal that is judged to be offiside but was on side actually get reinstated as a goal later that day or the following day. If this a was a Sunday league game in which our kids are playing and all that is at stake is our pride, I have no problem with referee mistakes on the day but dealing with an international sport that during tranfer windows trades in the billions, a "sorry mate, may bad" from EPL referees is unnacceptable and far too expensive a mistake to allow.
That's what we are saying, when the Arsenal's players are out injured, no pundit talks about it…did we miss Bokayo? Yes of course but we played without him and won the match. Let's see MC bounce back from their current woes…or else Luton will beat them😅
Arsenal didn’t have partey and Jesus when we played them at home last season and nobody cared. Keep the same energy! Excuses
This is all nonsense! Why crying about City missed players? They had all their players available yet couldn't beat Arsenal in the Community Shield. Stevie predicted 3:1 bashing against Arsenal. Admit your erroneous judgement. Arsenal is force now.
He speaks the truth; everyone wants to score and not passing the ball
This Man City ream is in transition and needs rime to gel. I would be more worried with the fact that even with such form teams are failing to kill them off.
Once they click and players like Doku, Kovacic and even Pep figures put the new set up of all than its dangerous
We should give Man City and Haaland a break. Winning the treble is so tiering both mentally and physically and it takes time for them to get back to the level they were last season.
Wait so only city r missing players
If Man city won it could have been praises and no one would be talking about all of this because they had big players
You underrate the how well Arsenal played to nullify city , Saliba had a near perfect rating , last season Arsenal missed Saliba at a critical point and with a thin squad the key players got burnt out , this season Arsenal have enough cover and if Saliba is fit all through expect Arsenal to get better
Everyone was talking about the squad depth of City, what happened to that?
They are all cry babies 😂😂Arsenal win that game fair and square.they even rob Arsenal,Man City should've played with 10 man
The pundits should introspect whether the opposition's approach influenced City's performance. When City failed to register a single shot on target for over 60 minutes, it prompts the question: did Arsenal impeccably execute their game plan with tactics such as tight man-to-man marking in the midfield, a controlled press upfront, and Saliba's close marking of Haaland?
I love how people doubt City every single season when they go through a form struggle, then go on to win a major honour every year
Mancity just need a DM back and they’ll be back to their best so they can push forward and attack
115 charges of corruption and cheating against Man C. FA 4 year investigation. Rangers relegated 2 divisions for less.
Haaland is a target man. Saliba and Gabriel made him a difficult man to target. Arsenal did a great job of removing Haaland from the game. ALL CREDIT TO THEM.
Haaland needs a new battery 🪫 upgrade
No KDB no party
We ain't struggling top of our cl group 2 points behind in the league every one except Kdb is fit. We just don't know how to play without rodri at the moment but once he is fit… We good
Arsenal's goal was pretty cool
8 goals 2 assist is most then most strikers careers in the pl
I dont hear any of these excuses for man utd even tho 9 first team players are out
Man City had players missing, I didn’t see Haaland anywhere 😂
Arteta didn't play to Pep's strength. That's a tactical Masterclass from Arsenal. Pep was beaten at his own game. Give Arsenal their flowers.
City are half the team without KDB
7mins of excuses for man city
Bellingham is better than Haaland. You cant always tap in goals. You need to create goals.
Haaland has to upgrade his game
Are people even watching City games? Him being on 8 goals has nothing to do with Kdb..Haaland has missed alot of big chances this season compare to last..
M-Utd were the same when they were top dogs in the PL, by their own standards, they'd start the season a bit sluggish then kick into gear at the turn of the year to stride home most years.
Seems like the dominant teams need early season to shake off any subconscious complacency, that comes with winning it for prolonged periods.
All of a sudden Haaland is bad because he didn't score at Arsenal. Guys Haaland is GOOD , he will hatrick your in your fav teams. Don't play.
Just that Arsenal with Saliba and gabi, always pocket hm, even in community shield was same story. That's just credit to defenders of a specific team. But the boy is good at scoring …
This is partly why Haland can't be the player, he relies too much on other n will probably be behind Mbappe at the end of it
Haaland is overrated
no excuses for City…… I don't care who they're missing……. reality is, their midfield got outplayed by Jorginho…… City lost the game after those two missed chances in 1st half…… Arteta figured out how to eliminate those efforts in 2nd half and he neutralized City's offense completely……. granted, Rodri or KdB would be both very helpful, cause Rodri keeps offense and defense glued together and KdB can always figure something out individually……. but if City have the best depth in the world, they can have no excuses…… Arsenal also missed their biggest star
What man city did wrong and raya should be benched for ramsdale, this is espn expert take on that game, let it sink in
wear and tear
For God sake stop making excuses just say city got outshined simple oh this player was missing that player was missing city got nullified
Arsenal fans are jubilating as if they've won the league. I don't blame them though. If you always get beat by one team and you finally have one on them, you should celebrate. Fair play
Sympathy for Harland….what a joke
This stinks. Imagine not even crediting the team that took the game
Community Shield and Arsenal PL fixture Haaland had a combined 0.00xG.
did Craig Burley just casually said that "Grealish had a difficult pre season after the World Cup"? man when youre a small club all kinds of people will make up all kinds of sht to defend you
Espn pundits😂😂
Last season City won home and away against Arsenal. Though Saliba was injured but you guys praised City but when Arsenal won this time you've changed the topic to City injuries. ESPN pundits should stop the Arsenal hate and the bias in you punditry.
Kovacic should have been sent off by his two hash touches but no one is talking about that but if it were to be an Arsenal player you guys would have been lamented on that all day
I don’t get why people keep saying Man City start their seasons slow and get going in January like they are always chasing and then just take over the next team. That was Fergies’ Man Utd teams in the past. You can’t consistently rack up 90 plus points each season by starting slow. Other teams have to start fast and be near perfect because City rack up these points.
Giving 0 credit to arsenal
I like how no one mentioned that maybe just maybe English teams have figured out Halaand?
