Why is this thread dead?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Maybe because we actually go to the match....
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yep

If it's my team, I'm either at the game or giving it my full attention on TV.

I only go on match threads when I'm either a neutral or if a result would actually benefit my club.

Saw a great comment on the BBC website at HT.

"City playing it's like a friendly, Arsenal playing like it's a Cup Final"

That is an awful comment. Arsenal put in their most half-assed performance of the season with the likes of Holding and Vieira getting rare starts.

City should have pressed for more rather than prioritizing possession. A second or a third would have taken the wind out of their sail on the PL. Arsenal still came dangerously close. I think Ortega at Emirates, whose interventions were instrumental, would be the right goalie!

Arsenal were the more intense side in the first half without a doubt.

Holding is a dreadful player.

Holding pretty well named though

Couple of mates have a bet Ortega starts our first league game next season. Had a shakey couple of games prior to Arsenal, but couple of their chances on Friday result in goals with Ederson between the posts I think.

Is it me or did we play better when it seemed they reverted to a 4-4-2? Where’s Melton when you need him.

One thing that struck me was how much 5 subs has changed the game. Playing second choice players is much less of a risk when you can replace half the outfield players if you need to.
