Man City vs Arsenal (PL) 2-2

Huge result to get a draw when playing with ten men for half the game.

Wouldn’t have taken a draw when Rocky asked, and massovely gutted we didn’t hold on, but this is still a really good result.

The last minute nature of the equaliser will have City buzzing, but this is ultimately a far better result for us than them, no doubt about it in my mind.

A rare sighting of the celebration police taking action against Arsenal’s opponents.

The way I look at it, Man City couldn’t score past us for 57 mins down to ten men, in their backyard. Trossard wasn’t an idiot, we’re winning.

The nature of the equaliser conceded in the 97th minute does sour the great earned point a bit.

City had 50+ minutes to get the win with all the momentum on their side, us being a man down and essentially giving up on attacking.

Sucks not beat them at the Etihad, i believe not even Klopp’s Liverpool had done that.
We’re past that tough early run so far. Villa, Spurs and City away all ticked off.

The boys were shattered. I don’t blamed them.

Of course, but it’s better to look at the positives to stop a slide into insanity.

That’s what my therapist said anyway.

Poor poor defending on the goal.

Can’t believe after being so tight for 50 minutes we leave one of their player standing absolutely free on the edge of the box for a fucking minute.

I would bite someone’s hand off for a point at the HT, but such a tough goal to swallow considering how good we defended for so long.

Technically & on paper, our naivety cost us 4 points.
The season PGMOL doesn’t bring in stupid rule enforcement is the season we will win the PL.

However, a draw at City regardless of the circumstances is a really good point.
Shame Timber went off and we couldn’t stay focused for that corner.

Not blaming them at all. It was a heroic performance. Guess I’m just ruining our luck.

Lol Roy Keane trying his hardest to diminish this absolutely incredible second half performance it seems.

How / why did Lewis-Skelley get on the pitch?

Cramp for Timber

He’s doing it for engagement

They’re going to clip the hell out of it and our fans gonna foam at the mouth lol

This will have strengthened our team no end - 2-1 down to 10 men and a defensive masterclass until the last minute. Arteta is the real deal !?

Quite frankly despite it being so late, only giving them a goal the way we had to play that half is a fair return. Good result in the end but another case of what could’ve been…

They also had the ref with an assist.
Don’t know who he is but I might put him in my Fantasy team.

We need to find a way to keep 11 players on the pitch if we’re going to mount any kind of title charge this season. Would be ridiculous to lose the title because we keep kicking the ball away and getting sent off.
