GWT: PL Matchweek around New Years

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Martinelli is not a nice guy!!

He's assaulting Cancelo like the poor dude didn't already suffer enough

He was offside but lol

arsenal are playing well. Getting joy off the counter

 

[John Pedro]

yeah

I was trully expecting another loopside loss, but Arsenal has been good so far. Could've been ahead if Odegaard didn't f*** up that play later.

 

[hatterson]

Tuned in late but watched the replay of the pen claim.

The big question is if he gets the foot or the ball first and the replays aren’t great at telling that. Given it was called a corner on the pitch it’s hard to say it’s a clear and obvious error since you’d need pretty clear proof he got the foot before the ball.

On the same point, if it was called a pen on the pitch I think it’d be hard to overturn given he did get the foot too.

City had a couple of chances of corners too. Good game

there was another replay that should clear contact on the ball.

 

[hatterson]

Also in the ~3 minutes I’ve watched, Arsenal has been dominating City. First to every ball, just keep recycling the attack for another chance.

Looks more like a City against Burnley game but reverse.

there was another replay that should clear contact on the ball.

There definitely was clear contact with the ball, but there was also clear contact with the foot. The replays I saw didn’t clearly show one before the other.

 

[AB13]

Beautiful

They had a reverse angle that showed ball first

 

[John Pedro]

SAKA

Let's goo

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Buildup was spectacular honestly best I’ve seen from arsenal in years.

ederson positioning is a bit weird tho

 

[King Makar19]

Deserved lead.

Continue the good work boys.

 

[JeffreyLFC]

Impressed by Partey and Martinelli.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Impressed by Partey and Martinelli.

Partey’s best game since he left uncle Simeone.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Coutinho like shot from Gabriel lol

 

[John Pedro]

Coutinho like shot from Gabriel lol

what he tried to do

 

[John Pedro]

Almost, Martinelli... he's been so good since becoming a starter. Cancelo can't keep up with him. Put Walker in, pep!!

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

what he tried to do

Can’t do it against this guy

 

[OKR]

There definitely was clear contact with the ball, but there was also clear contact with the foot. The replays I saw didn’t clearly show one before the other.

Ederson got to the ball first, Ødegaard saw he had no chance to get to the ball first so he just extended his leg to get a contact and dove.

 

[John Pedro]

Best half against a top3 side for Arsenal in a long time. Martinelli and Saka are too much to handle. Xhaka and Partey playing really well cointaning De Bruyne and Bernardo. Tomyassu has been massive against Sterling and Mahrez didn't do anything.

Keep this up and capitalize one of the counters.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

I don’t think he’s been massive. City are just having trouble getting them the ball. The press by arsenal has been relentless and coty hasn’t gotten into any rhythm. I don’t blame any of the front 3.

city need to play the ball fast. Might try gundogen to shake things up

 

[AB13]

Arsenal have had more shots Man City so far today. It's been a while since we've been able to say that. Brilliant half, Partey has been absolutely unreal.

 

[Evilo]

At what point can we say KDB is overrated?
Boy has he had a tough 2021. But we're in 2022 Kevin!

He did have 2 tackles and wasn't dribbled once. City hasn't been at their best, but Tomyassu didn't make life easy for him

If Martinelli has been great, I just can't say the same about Jesus. Honestly, find him very overrated.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Who rates Jesus at this point lol? Dime a dozen player

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

He’s had injuries and a bad year makes him overrated?
