GWT: PL Matchweek 23

[Power Man]

Mahrez comes in and they take the lead lol

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Lol Kun Stop!

I think he finally settled the debate, between he and Henry. 2 crucial goals for city while Henry has nothing this week.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Mahrez comes in and they take the lead lol

Yup Mahrez did all the work lol smh

 

[robertmac43]

Think it hit Ainsley, watch it back

Oh I see now...yeah that was unfortunate.

 

[Blender]

Mahrez comes in and they take the lead lol

He's been one of their best players this season.

 

[Blender]

Yup Mahrez did all the work lol smh

I really don't think that's what he was getting at. City have been much better this season with Mahrez on the pitch, and should be an obvious starter for them.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Laporte needs to be back ASAP. Stones is trash, and Fernandinho has done admiral job but it’s time to go back to CM. I would even give Garcia a run of games.

 

[Power Man]

Yup Mahrez did all the work lol smh

Defenses adjust when he is on the pitch, he is one of the few City players who can create for himself, it opens up space for his teammates
Rewatch the game and notice the different

Arteta has 1 win, 3 draws, and 1 loss as Arsenal's manager (not including the one he sat in the stands for). I thought Arsenal had a top 4 quality squad and only Emery was holding back spectacular performances?

 

[robertmac43]

We got an angry one here to end in Brighton. Maupay is a fire cracker, you never know when he is going to go off.

To be fair, they are playing better. Results are not coming though.

 

[These Are The Days]

Citeh blows it



*Laughs in Liverpool*

 

[AB13]

Funny that Wolves got a penalty for basically this exact challenge

It's still early and they have been a better team the past 5 games than they were this season under Emery.

 

[Halladay]

33 is magic number now.

This is Emerys fault, it will take long time to implement an effective system, as it did for Klopp, Pep and more. It will take long to make the players who Emery told " respect the opponent", making them believe they were worse than everyone, believe they can win games and play on the front foot. We are playing better and could very well be a top 4 team next season, when Emerys brainwashing is out of the players. It can take a season or two to see the effects of a new manager, Wengers ideas still having an effect on the squad is a large reason we were so much better last year. The longer Emery got, the more he ruined, and it will take up to a few years to reverse the tactical, mental and physical damage from his tenure ( David Luiz himself said the players aren't fit enough to play Artetas style of football).

The side angle showed he threw himself down before he touched the defender's leg. Good no call

 

[hatterson]

TBH, I'd love to see Cook suspended for 20 games for his handball. Those types of plays are the absolute worst.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

No argument there he should start but he did nothing to secure this tie.

Rewatch the game and notice the different

There's an abundance of city players that can create for themselves. The notion that he's one of few is perplexing to say the least. City played better as the game wore on because they needed a goal the pressed more and Palace naturally sat back.

Yup, he was in the air and throwing himself into the defender before the contact was even made. Clear attempt to draw a penalty rather than any attempt to push through and play the ball.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

If you had told me before this season that Adama Traore would play this well I never would've believed you. Incredible how good he's become this season.

 

[Savant]

LFC Magic Number is down to 33. 11 more wins.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

LFC Magic Number is down to 33. 11 more wins.

I wouldn't celebrate just yet. City can still make it back. All the have to do is win out and LFC go on a string of losses. I think they should play it safe.

 

[Chimaera]

Almiron playing better. Good to see
