Carabao Cup Final Arsenal v Mancester City ** Spoilers ** [25th February 2018]

[BaZ87]

I don’t mind if we lose today so good result so far.

My heart wants us to win but my head wants us to lose really as it just puts more pressure on the old dinosaur ultimately.

I thought you'd given up on Wenger getting sacked so wanted Arsenal to win again?

 

[Snax]

Ospinas distribution is dire.

 

[Psycho Ned]

Both the keepers in this match are clowns

I’m a massive gooner, but I’d suffer anything to see Wengers position become untenable.

 

[explicit4u]

Ospina's everything is dire

 

[omnomnom]

Thats a foul by Bravo. On what planet can you do that and not concede a fk?

 

[sneakysnail]

To be fair aub also fouled in the build up by pushing the defender in the back towards the goalkeeper.

Arsenal defending just gets better and better

Nope. You thought wrong.

Never given up on that.

2-0 down. Excellent!

He literally stands on the spot. He lowers his shoulder and braces for the contact and then runs. If anything aguero was fouled by the defender running into him.

More importantly Mustafi has nothing happen to him, Aguero is standing still, he bumps into him, barely. He moves about three inches from the contact and immediately stops playing, there was nothing there at all. You can't just run into someone and then get upset that you bounce off them if they are standing still. Blocking means stepping across the path a player is intending to take to purposefully block them, if you're standing still and someone walks into you, it's there fault not yours.

The basketball rules basically work here, player standing still gets barged it's a foul on him, player moves into the path of player with the ball and causes contact, it's his fault.

Except even there the contact to Mustafi is nothing at all, it's the slightest bump. Kompany put 10 times the force into Auba in the box in the first half, was never a foul either and Auba didn't make a single move to ask for a foul.

 

[robfosters]

Just **** off Wenger you senile washed up old ****!

 

[opethdisciple]

As far as I'm concerned the League Cup and FA Cup are only icing on the cake. The main things a team of Arsenal's stature should be concerned about is competing for the League and doing well in the Champions league.

Where has winning 3 FA Cups in 4 years got us?

There is no steel in this team. When your playing a clearly better side or the game is going against you, you dig your trench, grit your teeth and dig in.

We can't defend.

 

[Jimbeam3678]

Quick, extend Wenger’s contract again! He’s just the gift that keeps on giving, comedy of errors for years now.

The scary thing is if they do get rid of Wenger it will takes years for change to appear as he institutionalised at Arsenal as you would expect after the years he's been there. Whichever way you look at it, its glorious.

Edit 3 NIL and Neville calling Arsenal a disgrace ha ha

 

[el_dazza]

Arsenal are seriously poor.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Arsenal pensioners could close down City faster than these lot. There's either no motivation or the entire coaching system at the club is broken.

 

[ThestigGT999]

can't wait for AFTV

 

[Combat Fighter]

3-0 down.

Keep ‘em coming! LOL

 

[Psycho Ned]

Neville destroying Arsenals performance!
