SiJ Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 2 minutes ago, hirstyboywonder said: Late Wenger Arsenal sides were nowhere near winning the title and rolled over in away games. They weren't susceptible to giving away daft goals, they did so on a regular basis and couldn't buy a win away from the Emirates. We are not talking about late Wenger sides. There was a period in between (from the Invincibles to the early 10s) where they were still a very good team who more often than not let themselves down and undermined their own efforts to be successful. The latter Wenger sides were way off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellis Rimmer Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Foden was supposed to be a replacement for Silva, Guardiola wouldn't give him a game barely nor loan him out. Silva retired and Foden gets more time now, but hasn't really improved since he first started making first team appearances a couple of years ago. So now there is a huge void which could have been avoided-which is poor management. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIGHERSTATE Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 I predicted a 1-0 win for Man City. A slog in the rain same as last season. It was the same against us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonofbert2 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Foden will be a reyt player for both City and England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiJ Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Phil Foden is developing just fine. The fact he didn't start today means bugger all. Called squad rotation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIGHERSTATE Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 It's like any league team going to a non-league team in the FA cup. You play to your strengths and try to win by being patient and focusing on your superior skill. Sheffield United will have been seen as a banana skin. Job done and they didnt even have to consider getting into 3rd gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animis Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Can't see them getting anything next week so they'll likely go into the international break 1 point from 8 games - nearly a quarter of the seasons gone. They need to start scoring or they are looking like 1 of four for the drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Django Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 (edited) I keep hearing about the fixture list easing off in the next few weeks. Who are these poor sides that they have coming up? West Brom and Fulham aside there isn’t any Edited October 31, 2020 by Django Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanharper Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 You don't get much return for your £43m duo of strikers do you? 0-1 but completely outplayed and no attacking threat and the keeper making the scoreline respectable - exactly the same as us in our "cowardly" loss to City in the cup. With Da Cruz up front and Wildsmith in goal. They had Aguero and Jesus up top that night as well (admittedly they didn't have De Bruyne and Sterling was only a sub) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
