The team that came from 1 nil down to 2-1 up is parking the bus??

Trossard was stupid as hell for doing that. The ref didn’t hesitate to pull out the red, despite nothing given when a City player kicked it away a few minutes earlier.

Trossard can’t argue against the sending off, but the inconsistency of officiating by the same ref in the same game is ####ing ridiculous.

Arsenal, up 2-1 at the Etihad, are going to shut it down in the second half and defend over risking being opened up on the attack. That is what I said, and we all know it's gonna be true, especially down to 10. Said nothing about parking the bus in the first half.

So defending a lead is parking the bus?
I guess 9 teams parked the bus this weekend.
Make sure you make that comment consistently if that's just your way of saying "defending a lead" and not a cheap shot at Arsenal.

That is exactly the approach Arsenal should take.

It won’t likely see them through, but its all they can do now while hoping the ref doesn’t #### them over - which looks like an even longer shot.

FYI we are 20 minutes in and Man City have 94% possession this half. You can defend well without refusing to even consider trying moving the ball forward. And it'll probably work, but it's still a horrible watch.

So ####ing what?

They’ve been ####ed over, they’ve got the lead against the best team in the world. If they stay resilient and hold on, they’ve got three points and go top. Opening it up creates space - suits one team and it isn’t Arsenal.

Where did I say they shouldn't do it lol. As I always say with these tactics I understand them, they just suck.

Horrible watch? You are watching one of the greatest tactical masterclasses in defending in Premier League history. I could watch this all day.

It's a great win for Arsenal, no denying that. City didn't have any real chances

What game winner are you talking about - you melt.

[Senator Clay Davis]

It wasn't even a winner lol. Might feel like one, but it ain't. Greasy goal too, but I suppose that was always what it was gonna be.

[agulati]

At half time I would have taken a draw. Just sucks that with less than a minute to go, they get an equalizer.

A draw away at Etihad is solid though.

My bad. Wanker

good result in a nutshell for sure. Understandable to be frustrated though when you concede after 97 minutes.

[Barnet Flame]

The rules were applied to Arsenal - to the letter.

City?

Not so much.
