Liverpool scored and immediately fell back into a shell and paid the price for it. Gave a dumb penalty away at the very end for City to win.

I'll also add that PGMOL was very favorable to City today. That penalty isn't given to most teams and Guehi should have been sent off

What a choke by Liverpool

Penalty rules in soccer are ******ed. There was zero chance he would have controlled that ball before going out of bounds if the goalie didn't take him out.

Haaland is such a dork

If we don't close the deal, today will go down as the day City won it. It's gonna be stressful.

Pathetic from Liverpool after going ahead.


Some of you can tie yourself in knots entirely too easy.

I apologize for commenting about a potential huge swing in the title race. And for judging the way Liverpool threw that away. And not running my post by you first.

Cheers.

It's just silly. Soccer commentary makes it seem like every result is the crucial turn that will decide the end of the season. We're exactly where we started the weekend except one game closer and the margin for Man City got smaller.

Man City is the same team that tied Spurs last week and nobody was claiming it was the game that would be the turning point when we won the league. Man City can't afford to drop any points right now in the next 13. Do you feel like they are going to win 14 in a row? I don't think there is any evidence to support that happening.

They beat a mediocre Liverpool team. We're in the driver's seats. Enjoy it.

My only concern is that we have a marginally harder schedule left. City's hardest games are Villa, Chelsea and us. We have City, Chelsea and Tottenham. But we also have some tough road matches left as well.

If we can beat Brentford (A) this week which is a really tough game and then Wolves away, we will have 9 point lead albeit with a game in hand. That will put even more pressure on City.

Champions win games. That's the task in front of us. And it's an amazing opportunity. Lets ****ing finish this

Thank you.

In my opinion, Man City have one more draw in their schedule, at the very least. That means we'd have to lose three matches in our next 13 EPL to fall behind them in points. If that happens, it's not because City beat a mediocre Liverpool with a questionable PK and game strategy.

We're a good team that has played really well for most of the season. I have no idea what will happen but I know who I would bet on based on this season.

Well respected journalist Guillem Balague speaking on Arsenal… you're going to want to read this!

"Let me tell you what everyone is saying about Arsenal across Europe.

"Arsenal are not seen here as a team that has stalled. They are seen as a reference point. As the team many look at when trying to understand where elite football is heading.

"The game has shifted, it is no longer enough to dominate the ball or to attack well. The top sides now compete in, and often decide matches through, the four phases that make teams excellent: organised attack, attacking transition, defensive transition and structured defence. At the highest level, those phases matter more than possession percentages or aesthetic debates.

"This is where Arsenal stand out.

"Under Mikel Arteta, Arsenal control space, time and another very important element, rhythm. They are aggressive without being chaotic, but can create chaos to find gaps, they are compact without being passive. Their pressing is prepared in detail, lose the ball and the reaction is immediate. The opponent is denied oxygen.

"Across Europe, this is understood as modern dominance.

"The key battleground today is transition. Not what you do with the ball, but what happens the instant you lose it. Defensive rhythm has overtaken offensive rhythm. Space is smaller and time is shorter. The teams that survive are the ones that arrive first, win duels, plus reset order before danger appears.

"Arsenal do this as well as anyone.

"In Europe, Arsenal are seen as a team that has absorbed Guardiola's ideas and pushed them forward, they have strengthened them for a football world that now plays faster, presses harder, and it totally punishes hesitation.

"At the very moment Arsenal are being questioned at home, they are being analysed as a model.

"Progress is often uncomfortable and it rarely moves in straight lines. Arsenal don't look lost. In my eyes they look early!"

De Zerbi is such a punk. Denies he's leaving and says he'll be there for years. Then leaves after another getting whacked by PSG. But anyways, he was the main reason why Arsenal wanted to send Nwaneri there.

Some rumors floating around that Arsenal & pool are sniffing around Christian Pulisic. His current deal expires in 2027 and Milan has been slow to the table for extension talks.

Relegation spurs have sacked Frank. Was hoping he'd make it to the our match

Might be a good thing for Nwaneri to see the instability that most clubs deal with. Now he also needs to fight for his place even more while there.

Other than scoring on his debut, he's been really below average when he plays

Sono***un. That's a big loss with the way he's been playing and opening things up. Need him back soon.

Tomorrow is such a tough match as well. Eze is gonna have to start showing some sort of form. Not good for the injury bug to pop back up again. Saka, Odegaard, Merino and now Havertz.

Would be a heck of a time for Eze to find some form.

Who is up next if needed? Did Norgaard play AM in the past? Do they look at Dowman? MLS get a shot?

They've had 3 red card challenges in the last few weeks. What's even crazier is they've only had 2 red cards in domestic competitions since the start of the 22/23 season. 2 reds in 4 years with the amount of fouling they do is bull****
