Arsenal putting up 20x the fight against City then we did.

Yep..they do look quite good. Which is worrying.

CHO makes Saka look like prime Robben.

1-0 Arsenal...ah crap

[Pizy 18,538]

It would be the ultimate humiliation if Arse finish above us this season. Started with 0 points from their first 9 and were what, 12-13 points behind us at one point?

CHO would’ve slotted that straight to Ederson’s hands.

They have turned a corner..and quietly crept up. They also have a postponed covid game to play at some point...hopefully this result wont stay this way but City been over the place. Arsenal really haven't

When you look at their team as well they aren’t anywhere near the quality of the current top 3, either.  They’re just in fantastic form at the moment.

And of course City decide to drop a stinker the one time we actually want them to win. Look like they’re hungover from last night.

Arsenal look much more energised for obvious reasons.

I put money on Arsenal springing a surprise today. No Foden and Ake at LB always is a disaster waiting to happen. It is funny though that the commentator said that those in Merseyside and West London will be cheering. I am in the boat that wants City to win right now. Not just because of the points gap, but the injuries also, just too much of a gap to make up. Arsenal are right on our tails, have no Europe and a close threat to us right now.

Yep same. So typically they're losing! And should we lose tommrow they're 4 behind and still have a game to play. Obviously the gap can change but way they're going.Hopefully City can come out better

Martinelli is something else. Saka and Odegaard putting in great shifts as well.

Yup. Liverpool may be happy to see Arse win because they’re capable of putting a long winning run together if they hit their stride. But with our injury record right now and lack of cutting edge City are well out of sight. We need to be much more concerned with those behind us than City above.

A fresh, 1 or 2 match per week Arse side is our biggest threat right now.

And Liverpool are another side with a game to play. This whole table is crazy. Think only us and City who after this weekend have played 21 games so where we stand is right 

 Everyone else all over the place.

I am for Arsenal here. 

Look at this way. Arsenal win, we are just 5 points behind. We win against them in 2 weeks we are just 2 points behind. Plus win against Liverpool tomorrow. What a momentum that would be for us. Everything can change in 2 weeks.

That comment would make sense if CHO is rated higher.

Arsenal needs to take points if we will have a shot to climb back into a title race.
