City look scared, hope we keep the pressure up.

Not scared, we just don't have a midfield right now. it's going to get worse before it gets better

[OrangeKhrush]

Liverpool will be strolling to the Premier League this season,  nobody is even close.   Arsenal maybe but they are always due a doozy.

It just means you will waltz it early,  this is like the covid season,  nobody close.

You’ve still got a better side than most every other side we’re up against most weeks. A big part of City’s current form is mental imo - it’s literally a case of suffering from success. City haven’t had the pains most normal clubs have where they have a painful blip in form that costs them dearly in such a long time.

Even with this blip in form, City are good enough to go on an insane run and close the gap. And rich enough to get serious replacements in January as soon as the window opens.

But the moment City look like a team that know they’re in bad form against a side in really good form, and it looks like it’s getting to them.

And tbh your defense looks like the bigger issue than the midfield.

This time last year didn’t Arsenal have a solid lead?

Yep, Walker is finished, the way he didn't pick his man up for your goal, he's doing that every game now, we might as well have Joe Biden on the field  Dias & Ake are playing injured, Gvardiol should be on at some point for one of them but they are looking bad because they have zero protection from midfield and that midfield is also not creating any chances, it's why we are shit right now and our biggest problem. by the time we have fixed it in Jan the title will be out of sight

1-0HT we have to stick KDB on with Savinho, Grealish, Gvardiol, Doku asap and go for it now

Arsenal coming from 9 points back isn't impossible if Liverpool have a wobble. City aren't doing it though this season, especially if they don't come back and get something today.

[Dr. Gonzo]

Really hope we don’t regret not putting all these chances away

[Dave]

Arsenal have played Man City, Chelsea, Liverpool, Spurs and Villa away from home already. Providing Odegaard doesn't have another set back they'll be ready if Liverpool drop standards.

It did look like Man City were about to come back into it. They had a bit of momentum but your defence is solid. 

Game over now! Good penalty from Salah. 

[Happy Blue]

2-0 down, NOW he brings KDB on

And their defense caused all their own problem.

Why not stick him on when we was in the game?

Whilst I think he'll still conjure up some brilliant moments when in possession from now until the end of the season, I can't see his off the ball movement being as good as it was two years ago.

I wouldn't be surprised if he's allowed to leave in the summer.

I think he's going in the summer on a free tbh

Just saying, Ten Hag is still free.

He's already on our touch line, Pep's in Hags basement

Wasn't too bad

Pep has been shit this season, it's like he's trying to get sacked 

[LFCMike]

I wish we'd have got that second earlier, was a bag of nerves thinking that the missed chances might come back to haunt us. Great win though, onto the next one.

[6666]

This would've been a great title race if Liverpool didn't exist.

[LFCMike]

So many good performances. Diaz, Szoboszlai and Van Dijk the standouts for me.
