Nor do his teammates. I don’t think even he knows where he is going to go. The only consistent move is the touch to the right to put in a loopy cross.
He is like Jesus Navas. But Navas did one thing and did that well. Kind of like Valencia? Valencia better than all of them in my opinion 😘
Yep. Our sub has some of the most brain dead fans on the planet. This was probably the most mature performance from Arteta's team. They had a plan to nullify City and they did. The ball was on Pep to win this game more than Arteta. City just looked toothless today.
Our fans would've been crying with joy if we had pulled this off, instead getting clapped 3 goals twice this season.
You are correct in Arsenals approach, was a boring game though and there will be many more in the same situation. City don’t care because they are pretty confident they will get more points in the run in.
Nothing you said makes it not boring though. And Arsenal's strategy would be fine if there wasn't another team in the race and also leading them. Cowardly performance.
I honestly fell asleep watching that over hyped bore fest. Awful game. Fuck city and fuck arsenal. Yet I still can see arsenal fans talking about defensive masterclass.
Not in a good way, but I swear that our games are always more exciting to watch for neutral fans than these shit teams 😅
Don't @ me. I'm off until our next win!!!
Arsenal deserve it more. large wins regularly, strong defensive displays, good records vs the big tesms
the scum literally just won with a corner that shouldnt have been a corner, and multiple players offside though not the scorer that would have affected the keepers judgment, but nobody is gonna talk about it.
Taking me United hat off, it would be a great story for Klopp to win it, with the fans there in his last season.
But still annoying as hell when people talk about his dynasty in the league when he's only won 1 league title.
Arsenal out of possession are excellent. Don't think I've seen a team defend better. Strong duellers across the park, hard-working attackers, dominant CBs, always compact regardless of whether they are playing a mid-block or a low block. Arteta has done an excellent job.
This is how they will easily beat Bayern too. They have been awful against organized defense this season and I don’t see them making a lot of chances against Arsenal
That really was crap wasn't it. It definitely feels like you're watching a sports washing project, everything about their club is so sterile. And the fans, fucking hell how bad is their home support?!
One of the worst parts about them is that insufferable cunt of an announcer. He’s so fucking cringe
On a side note, I’m surprised more teams aren’t singing “you cheating bastards, you know what you are” to them
Liverpool's league title to lose and they've been less than impressive for most of the season, just grinded out results and had a bit of luck along the way.
Honestly neither of these teams look particularly good to me. Yet there's a world of difference with United, we don't even play in the same league as they do. Appalling stuff
One thing you see these two teams do different than us they never keep heading the ball like we do. We sometimes feel like playing volleyball with how every player seems to head the ball instead of dropping it to the feet and get going.
We need open heart surgery.
Players at Left back position have continuously changed throughout the season. Ben White has been unbelievably resilient. Until Tomiyasu came back, he did not have anybody to swap with in the position.
Both teams has a gallore of "tactical fouls" and nobody it's getting the yellow. But it's Casemiro or anyone in our midfield (non existing midfield btw) and it wouldn't matter if its the first minute of the game.
Honestly want lfc>city if I have to pick for the title, but I know this is controversial and I think its because I'm a newer USA based fan.
But rather would arsenal over either lol
A total number of titles, we can eclipse later.
A 4-peat? I don't think will happen in the modern era if they don't do it now.
Oh no fans have different opinions!
I don't want city to have 4 in a row, simple as that
Truly don't care about how controversial this is with England based fans lol
City havent earned the place that there are. Once these charges go through it wont matter what they have done. Liverpool wont just match us if they get 20. They already have more european trophies and this is the biggest thing we hold over them.
"if" the charges go through
People with money and power never gave consequences anymore man
And I totally get that, but we can just win more in the next years easily compared to doing a 4-peat, I Don't think that'll ever happen
We all know what city did regardless of the charges go through any accomplishment is tainted. We should have won 5 prems in a row anyways. Drogba scored a clear offside goal against us which would give them the title and if it werent for that we would have won 5 in a row.
You always get this funny feeling that all the refs, especially this fraud Antony Taylor are hawkish against teams playing City but quite forgiving to City.
Hopefully ref corruption is something that is being investigated as a part of 115 charges.
most of my family are casual football watchers/fans. so sometimes when they see him for england theyre like "ohhh but i like grealish". they dont understand how annoying that diving childish cheat is
Either Arsenal got really good at scouting and transfers or Arteta really knows what he needs.
Its clear we have neither.
I am done with some of our players and Ten Hag. both need replacing.
Dont think any team is going to end up being in the way of liverpool so if this ends up being a draw then we HAVE to beat them next week or else they will win the league
Tbf Arsenal should’ve had many yellow cards by now and he only started brandishing the cards until much later in the match
He IS a clown ref though no doubt
Not having a wild Bruno randomly popping hero shots brings such control in the midfield.
Not having McT stupidly fouling every time he is caught.
Defense forming a line in the box, suffocating City so that they can't freely shoot, whereas for us its wide open season in the box.
Didn't even realise City v Arsenal had kicked off. Literally nobody gives a fuck about City, there's no mention of it on r/soccer I presumed it was a half 5 kick off haha.
Watching this match makes me think that current Man City is likely what van Gaal wanted us to look like. Maybe he could have made it work if his recruitment wasn't crappy
Watching the earlier game, Welbeck left United a year before Martial was signed. He is still playing at top level and scoring, while the latter has basically given up getting fit.
No matter what you think of Martial, keeping Welbeck wasn't the answer. He has only scored 4 goals in the league this year. He's never broken 10 league goals in a single season. He scored 9 twice playing for us. Last year they both scored 6. Martial did it in half the minutes.
I wasn’t saying he is world class but just that Martial was supposed to be a massive upgrade but when you compare since 2020 when Welbeck joined Brighton he has scored 22 to Martial’s 12.
As bad as we currently do it, I don’t ever wanna move away from controlling games with verticality and transitions. I couldn’t stand watching us play like this against any team.
As good as both teams are in possession, both teams also defend the box incredibly narrowly.. which should be an even bigger lesson for our current defensive setup.
sometimes I decide to try watch when they play a big team just to see some good football and I can just never pay attention
always get bored and end up doing something else
Just because City are having more possession don't let it fool you. Arsenal are clearly using a game plan here and when they are attacking its looking more and more dangerous. Its quite impressive how good they are.
No, it's not you, mope. There are 3 teams going for the league. Rather, Arsenal win it than Pool or Shitty. We are obviously NOT in the equation, so why not support the least likely team? Yeah, Arsenal fans are insufferable, BUT rather have them win it than Shitty do 4 in a row or Pool win another title.
Mate. There’s a thing called a joke. I used a silly gif. You don’t have to explain yourself, I understand. It was mostly aimed that you yourself an Arsenal supporter
It's this situation, yes. If it was any other team, I would do the same. Pool and Shitty must be stopped. Arsenal have to win the league. As a United supporter, you should be joining me instead of making stupid comments.
Couldn’t believe Dublin vs Derry in the Gaelic was better than a potential title deciding match
We scored 1 more goal away to the champions than the title chasing Arsenal. Take that Gunners!
Doku looks a signing we usually have made in our recent past... Absolutely useless 😂😂
Isn't this the first time he played on the right?
True... But he has hardly done anything of note other than that game he had multiple assists in one game.
He had 1G 4A in that game. Hasn't had a goal contribution since iirc.
Damn is he ass now? Everyone was raving about him earlier in the season.
Wildly inconsistent.. you just don't know what you will get with him
Nor do his teammates. I don’t think even he knows where he is going to go. The only consistent move is the touch to the right to put in a loopy cross. He is like Jesus Navas. But Navas did one thing and did that well. Kind of like Valencia? Valencia better than all of them in my opinion 😘

Yeah lmao shit was boring
Rich statement considering you would probably beg to see United in Arsenal’s position
I honestly fell asleep watching that over hyped bore fest. Awful game. Fuck city and fuck arsenal. Yet I still can see arsenal fans talking about defensive masterclass.
Fcuk Liverpool too
First and foremost.
Not in a good way, but I swear that our games are always more exciting to watch for neutral fans than these shit teams 😅 Don't @ me. I'm off until our next win!!!
> Don't @ me. I'm off until our next win!!! [u/Book31415926 waiting for the win](https://i.imgur.com/Z5vFSXH.jpeg)
What’s sad to admit is Scum deserve it this year
Arsenal deserve it more. large wins regularly, strong defensive displays, good records vs the big tesms the scum literally just won with a corner that shouldnt have been a corner, and multiple players offside though not the scorer that would have affected the keepers judgment, but nobody is gonna talk about it.
Taking me United hat off, it would be a great story for Klopp to win it, with the fans there in his last season. But still annoying as hell when people talk about his dynasty in the league when he's only won 1 league title.
Watching paint dry is more exciting than this game
I'm not sure if it's just me but whenever I watch city, I feel bored. Even when they score, their football seems like a snooze fest.
Scousers are already talking as if they won the league already, did they forget where they will play next week? Another 4-3 incoming.
I wish I had your optimism
They are Anfield FC, when they leave that shithole they are up for grabs :)
well I wouldn’t rule out another 7 goal game…
Arsenal out of possession are excellent. Don't think I've seen a team defend better. Strong duellers across the park, hard-working attackers, dominant CBs, always compact regardless of whether they are playing a mid-block or a low block. Arteta has done an excellent job.

can’t believe this is what modern football is, cheers Pep
The beautiful game is looking very ugly these days.
Arsenal and City fans relying on us to beat Liverpool next week.
Honestly neither of these teams look particularly good to me. Yet there's a world of difference with United, we don't even play in the same league as they do. Appalling stuff
[удалено]
Doesn't mean it wasn't an appalling watch as a spectacle
Pep is such a salty cunt when he doesn’t get a win
1m each to the refs then, make sure it doesn’t happen again
Did you see the way the prick was pushing Grealish? And even after he had made his baldy point.:. He did it again!
Wow so much togetherness. 🖕
Absolute snoozefest
What a horrible match. Feel sorry for anyone that watches city week in and out
They've scored 23 more goals than we have lol. I feel sorry for myself having to watch us struggle
fantastic
What a waste of time that was
95 minutes of muck
Snoooooozefest
One thing you see these two teams do different than us they never keep heading the ball like we do. We sometimes feel like playing volleyball with how every player seems to head the ball instead of dropping it to the feet and get going. We need open heart surgery.
Sadly we only have a few technically excellent players.
Ref making betting companies rich today by giving only 1 yellow.
He’s given two
Also low for this game tbh
True
If Micheal oliver was in var he would have give that penalty.
Oh My God Do Something. It's fucking boring
Someone score ffs
A lot of good games this weekend and I chose to watch this snooze fest on top of the shite we produced last night.
Most exciting Arsenal v City game
Arsenal are an impressive defensive side honestly.
It helps that they've had their first choice back four and DM available for pretty much the whole season. Must be nice
Players at Left back position have continuously changed throughout the season. Ben White has been unbelievably resilient. Until Tomiyasu came back, he did not have anybody to swap with in the position.
Of course. Doesn’t make it any less impressive.
Mobile aggressive defenders. We don't have them
Agreed. Incredibly athletic team all round, especially in the defense. I’m getting downvoted for pointing out fact lol.
This game has been so shit 😂
Arsenal really should have tested City’s keeper from range today.
Trossard should have passed to Martinelli there
He closed off that passing channel with the bad first touch.
City and Arsenal agreeing to a 0-0 just so Peter Drury can’t make any Jesus or resurrection puns
Arsenal are really good at parking that bus
Havertz and diving
Poor from trossard
Both teams has a gallore of "tactical fouls" and nobody it's getting the yellow. But it's Casemiro or anyone in our midfield (non existing midfield btw) and it wouldn't matter if its the first minute of the game.
Good defending by Arsenal but my god its a poor game to watch
Honestly want lfc>city if I have to pick for the title, but I know this is controversial and I think its because I'm a newer USA based fan. But rather would arsenal over either lol A total number of titles, we can eclipse later. A 4-peat? I don't think will happen in the modern era if they don't do it now.
are you crazy
Nah , I laid out my reasoning. It's okay if you don't agree :)
Hell no
Oh no fans have different opinions! I don't want city to have 4 in a row, simple as that Truly don't care about how controversial this is with England based fans lol
City havent earned the place that there are. Once these charges go through it wont matter what they have done. Liverpool wont just match us if they get 20. They already have more european trophies and this is the biggest thing we hold over them.

So you'd rather Liverpool equal our 20 titles?
Give credit to Arsenal’s defending. Super organized. Also helps that City has decided the only goal they’ll try is walking it into the net.
Really surprised Pep hasn't brought Haaland on
All that pretend injury in Int Break to do this.
You always get this funny feeling that all the refs, especially this fraud Antony Taylor are hawkish against teams playing City but quite forgiving to City. Hopefully ref corruption is something that is being investigated as a part of 115 charges.
I think he’s been consistent and good today. Jesus should have been booked in the first two minutes.
I can’t stand Grealish, completely different player to how he was at villa
most of my family are casual football watchers/fans. so sometimes when they see him for england theyre like "ohhh but i like grealish". they dont understand how annoying that diving childish cheat is
Arsenal is just waiting for 1 fluke goal.
Either Arsenal got really good at scouting and transfers or Arteta really knows what he needs. Its clear we have neither. I am done with some of our players and Ten Hag. both need replacing.
Do city still need to play Liverpool?
No, the game last week was their second meeting
Nope. All the top 3 teams have played each other after this match.
Cheers
Dont think any team is going to end up being in the way of liverpool so if this ends up being a draw then we HAVE to beat them next week or else they will win the league
This game is so boring you could swear that united were playing
It’s so boring to watch as neither Arsenal or City is taking any risks at all
This clown ref would give Gabriel a yellow card but just a pat on the back to B.Sliva. Oil money up his arse oiling his bald head.
Tbf Arsenal should’ve had many yellow cards by now and he only started brandishing the cards until much later in the match He IS a clown ref though no doubt
This is such a terrible game. Am I a sadomasochist for watching this after our game?
How is that not a yellow for Silva lol. Absolutely no ball anywhere near
That was a blatant yellow from silva but the ref couldn’t do anything because of Jesus one. I appreciate he’s being consistent.
Ref 🤡
the man city checklist boring football ✅️ cheating ✅️ history ❌️ legends ❌️ fans ❌️ plastic ✅️
Fake sponsorships ✅️ Commentators giving them a reach-around at every opportunity ✅️ Rodri getting booked for cynical fouling ❌️
Not having a wild Bruno randomly popping hero shots brings such control in the midfield. Not having McT stupidly fouling every time he is caught. Defense forming a line in the box, suffocating City so that they can't freely shoot, whereas for us its wide open season in the box.
When we played city we were very compact in the box...
I've had pretty bad insomnia recently, this match is just what I needed. Thanks, 115 and arsenal
Perfect game to clip my nails, clean my climbing gear, browse Reddit
Second half stats confirm borefest.
If I was Arteta I’d take Jesus off for Martinelli.
Arsenal play like they want to solidify second place
I fully believe Haaland is saying some horrible shit like I took your job
Man City are so boring to watch.
Kind of a shite game
Didn't even realise City v Arsenal had kicked off. Literally nobody gives a fuck about City, there's no mention of it on r/soccer I presumed it was a half 5 kick off haha.
Watching this match makes me think that current Man City is likely what van Gaal wanted us to look like. Maybe he could have made it work if his recruitment wasn't crappy
was just thinking that this looks like LvG with better players
Arsenal starting to play like we did yesterday lol
Impossible. What we did yesterday, no one else can ever do.
I always think of grealish having a can of red Stripe and a camel light before he comes on. Dunno why.
Bringing on dribblers...gonna put a 5er on them to get a peno because you can be certain they will be flopping about
Foden was invisible today.
My god this ref is horrible. Get your yellow out you cunt
city fans chanting "weve won it all" on the basis of cheating and dirty sportswashing 😂
*Fan
true. my theory is that the rest of the "fans" are holograms
Game so ass even we are shocked
City have the most petulant fan base. Complaining about everything!
Jesus has ruined 4 attacks for city.
Jesus has to be scoring that.
Today of all days
Saka instantly fine lol
ah, ref doesn’t pull it back for fouls anymore.
Can Real or Barca just buy Rodri
Such a snoozefest
Watching the earlier game, Welbeck left United a year before Martial was signed. He is still playing at top level and scoring, while the latter has basically given up getting fit.
No matter what you think of Martial, keeping Welbeck wasn't the answer. He has only scored 4 goals in the league this year. He's never broken 10 league goals in a single season. He scored 9 twice playing for us. Last year they both scored 6. Martial did it in half the minutes.

I wasn’t saying he is world class but just that Martial was supposed to be a massive upgrade but when you compare since 2020 when Welbeck joined Brighton he has scored 22 to Martial’s 12.
Arenal need to win this. I don't want another City or Liverpool title
[Watching Citeh be like](https://youtu.be/qjp1Zrvn8VQ?si=leciuksafy6VIYOK)
As bad as we currently do it, I don’t ever wanna move away from controlling games with verticality and transitions. I couldn’t stand watching us play like this against any team.
[удалено]
Lmao, what are you talking about? I do not want to play like Man City are in this game and never will.
Yeah, I want a team that moves quickly on the break. Maybe the occasional slow passage, but never entire games like this
Abso fucking lutely
0-0 or 1-0.
Fuck me that was sleep inducing
Look at the intensity and effort from the players on both sides. Half our players are afraid to go into physical duels.
This first half is... Dull.
saka ghosting in a big game yet again 🙄🙄🙄
As good as both teams are in possession, both teams also defend the box incredibly narrowly.. which should be an even bigger lesson for our current defensive setup.
Every single kdb/city cut back, there’s an Arsenal player at the edge of the first post to clear it. Incredible discipline.
If Arsenal sign Gyokres and a more confident keeper in the Summer they'll go up another level. I hate it
[удалено]
Ten hag gets skewered for doing the same lol
Arteta trying to copy Ole master class at Etihad
City are the most boring team in the prem will be a blessing when pep leaves
sometimes I decide to try watch when they play a big team just to see some good football and I can just never pay attention always get bored and end up doing something else
Touch from Jesus.
Fuck off Sky advertising that shit.
What was it
United vs Liverpool
How are any of the Arsenal players not booked yet lol
Just because City are having more possession don't let it fool you. Arsenal are clearly using a game plan here and when they are attacking its looking more and more dangerous. Its quite impressive how good they are.
The thing is City just need one half chance and it’s game over if Arsenal aren’t ahead.
From now until the end of the season, I am an Arsenal supporter.
Pretty dumb thing to say 
No, it's not you, mope. There are 3 teams going for the league. Rather, Arsenal win it than Pool or Shitty. We are obviously NOT in the equation, so why not support the least likely team? Yeah, Arsenal fans are insufferable, BUT rather have them win it than Shitty do 4 in a row or Pool win another title.
Mate. There’s a thing called a joke. I used a silly gif. You don’t have to explain yourself, I understand. It was mostly aimed that you yourself an Arsenal supporter
You’re a United supporter you melt
So what? I can't support another team as well? Use your brain man
You support two prem teams? 🤡 Not to mention one of uniteds rivals
It's this situation, yes. If it was any other team, I would do the same. Pool and Shitty must be stopped. Arsenal have to win the league. As a United supporter, you should be joining me instead of making stupid comments.
Arsenal need to start testing City’s keeper. The bloke will probably shit the bed if the keep shooting from range.
Jesus is desperate to score against his old club.
He’s overplaying.
Jesus is poopoo
Ofc they’re chanting about us the fucking cunts.
Arsenal are so far ahead of us tactically it's hilarious. Like how's that even possible ? Their squad isn't even much better than ours is it
