Peps cone boy v Master Pep(Anal mauling) Sun 21st Feb KO 430PM

Arteta needs to show some kind of game management today, otherwise he will be fully exposed.
Another reason I want us fucked by Benfica!
No hiding place!!

[Clash]

Of course, Man City have never been the same since Arteta left ...

[mcdowell42]

Holding's performance reminding me of when Chambers got rinsed at Swansea

Remember that,Montero was the player that destroyed him that game,everyone could see it except the French man on the sideline, who left Chambers on for 82 mins

No way were we going to pick our strongest 11 with the game to come on Thursday night, not sure why there are some people on here wondering why we’ve made changes?

I wish he had rested more of them. Why play Saka for this, or Auba?

[rodders999]

Apparently Auba's ONLY shot on target ever against City was a penalty that was saved!

What a stat that is....depressing!

Isn't it 0-9 and counting at home to these in our last 3 and a bit games

Auba scored twice against them in last year’s semi final you slags.

[Gunner Rob]

Holding is Stepanovs and Squiddly-Diddly levels of awful. He is not as good as the likes of Senderos or Silvestre.

I never understand the criticism of Holding on here.
We have had 8 clean sheets in the league this season and Holding has been our defender in every one of those.

[xisstential]

After an uncharacteristically slow start, we are starting to dominate...just a matter of time now before we have a shot.

That in game management will consist of Cedric for Tierney, Willian for Odegaard and perhaps 7 minutes at the end for Martinelli as he needs to be rested for the game he's due to start one day

Yep. I said that in an earlier post, I made some justification for Auba starting but there’s none for Saka.

[Clash]

This looks like a job for WILLIANMAN

[SteveO 35]

We threw the cup away to focus on the league

Leicester up next

Bottom half come March - shameful

[GoonerMuzz]

It might help a little if some of our players stopped over hitting passes

[Perryashburtongroves]

I often think that the best tactic against a much stronger side is to continually allow them possession by giving them the ball back every time you get it. This works particularly well if you do it just outside your own box.

I'd say the stat is Prem games only wouldn't you?

That was magic from Greta Thunberg. The sort of magic you see from your pissed mate on a Sunday morning tripping over his own feet
