Premier League 2024/25

Well I dont think anyone forgot about Liverpool but Arsenal finished above them in the past 2 seasons

They just seem incapable of capitalising on their rivals' weakness. Mental block?

Arsenal

"Oh if only City and Guardiola weren't there we would win"

"We are the closest to giving City trouble above all teams"

"The FA is hell bent on having us lose"

Yea no Arsenal is a loser team and today was another example of it.

Slot's fresh new LFC is better.

Arsenal could use a change in managerial department perhaps. ETH has won more in 2 season than Mikel Artetas ongoing 6th.

I watched the City game. On another day they would've scored 3. You do have to capitalize on it when they slip, but it was a slip, not a marked decline.

Arsenal have their own injury crisis right now, they'll probably turn it up after the int break.

I think that was one of, if not the worst performance I've ever seen from Man City. Having a one off performance that's sub-par is one thing, but the lack of enthusiasm from multiple players should be concerning for their fans.

They did go through a patch of really poor form where most of their players looked similarly disinterested, two seasons ago, but Bernardo Silva and Haaland were both on fire during that time, and it carried them through a period where they generally struggled as a team. Both of them were off their game in this match, and the only offensive sparks were Nunes and a lively, 10 minute performance from Doku. Not a great indication of their form as a team.

Yeah that loss was coming since a few games. They've been fumbling their way lately.

Spurs loss in the cup for one, but in their last 7 PL games they've either drawn or narrowly won only by a 1 goal margin and have been wildly unconvincing

But but Rodri's absence has no effect.

I read on Reddit yesterday that they had the most injuries in the Premier League right now with 9 injuries (can't confirm if true). During the cup loss against Tottenham, Pep was complaining that they didn't have enough players to fill their bench

The Mirror (generally BS newspaper) claims that John Stones and Ruben Dias was added to their injury list after yesterday's match. I mentioned their lack of depth at the start of the season. It's not just Rodri, they're officially in a crisis now and will have to rely on academy players for bench options.

I know it's not only Rodri this season but charts comparing Man City's performance with and without him over the past few seasons are commonplace now. They were pretty much unbeatable with him

We all know why

One is bald and one is non-bald

Man C have no excuses... so rich yet complain about not having players.... we been like that for so long n look at us performing

Chelsea are level on pts with Arsenal after all n 4th... cant help but feel for all the mess n oversized squad issues everyone thought, they are starting to work things out n the intense comp for places must mean some positive... if u dont perform ur down the pecking order? Top 4 finish?

Are Mazraoui and De Ligt this good usually? I think Bayern made a mistake here.

Yea. De Ligt occasionally will have some brainfarts against tricky forwards but overall he has been pretty good signing. Mazraoui has been one of the best players this season. Gives at least a solid 7 every game.

That Garnacho performance yesterday was one of the worst I have seen from a Man Utd forward in my lifetime. Every fucking thing that overrated prick did was bad to downright abomination.

I read that he was deliberately passing the ball backwards when he was deployed on the right side until 30 mins and was constantly pointing to the coaches to change him to the left. If that is true, then this wannabe Cronaldo fanboy needs to be gotten rid of I think. Ego is of the roof for a distinctly mediocre footballer. Casemiro was everyone of us fans when he absolutely ripped through him for not tracking back in the 2nd half.

And by the way yea Chelsea are shite. Cant believe they are in top 4 and we are languishing at 13th when we are in fact very very close to them in actual quality.

Really though? The pundits seem to be saying Chelsea are the ones that underperformed yesterday considering their recent performances are on the up

Dont expect much with RVN, prolly wait for the new manager n some time to assess... this season is prolly just transition, unless the new guy can do a Flick like transformation >

Yea I have seen people saying had Chelsea turned up they could have beaten us easily. Lol at that. Chelsea and Arsenal online fans are the worst imho. The hype they put on their teams despite being shit and underwhelming for so long is just plain funny. Liverpool fans are cringe and weird. And City have no fans lol. United fans by the by are also arrogant I concur.

remind me Glory, when was the last time you beat us?

So if Amorim is to play 3 CBs? Who are they? Do Man U have many CB apart from De Ligt n Martinez? Varana is gone, what happened to Maquire n Liderlof?

Casemiro made sure Garnacho knows what mistake he has done there.

The senior most player in the team making sure the youngest player knows about his responsibilities on the pitch. pic.twitter.com/LDsZ7eQIzm

Should've stayed at RM. Utd could've had Tchouaméni to jog back at the same pace as Garnacho

Tchou is being scapegoated lately I see When teams dont perform theres always one I guess... Casemiro is like I been doing this all my career but Im getting too old for this XD

Lol we havent beaten you last season. Grand total of 3 games you have won against us on the trot. You consider that a big thing these days wow especially when we are a dead team lying at 13th? And in the same timeframe you guys have been challenging for top honors.
Heck we havent won against Crystal Palace for more than 3 games now too. There are many teams we have failed to beat for continuous games in the recent past thanks to Eth.

Also this is exactly what I am inferring. You fans have been hyping up your team and manager with actually achieving square root of nada. What do you have to show for barring 1 FA cup win I think during Arteta's initial years?

Lets face it you have been worse this season than last. You have 1 main injured player and Arteta have you playing like prime Allardyce ball lol. And you arent even as good as you think. You rely on set pieces to score goals thanks to stacking your side with tall CBs and DMs. Cut that out and you will struggle. How much money has Arteta spend again?
If you fail to beat the weakest City side with their Ballon Dor winning best player out for the season and a Liverpool side who dont have half as good squad depth as you guys have, then Arteta should be held accountable and even fired imo.

I was right about him from the start. This guy couldnt make a progressive/forward pass to save his life Maybe he'd look not as bad with a Kroos beside him but Bellingham and Fede are not Kroos,

Yea this is what I was talking about. More I see it more infuriated I get. Garnacho, Bruno, Rashford jeez what have this club become. Prime Nani couldnt get a start for us back in the day. What I would do to get a Nani or Chicharito or bloody Welbeck again at this club instead of our current overrated posers smh.
