Premier League 2024/25

I suspect what was more important was Man City putting almost all their defenders on the near post / centre whilst the Arsenal players were all at the back post.

It's a routine that exploits stupid zonal marking.

I noticed this too. There were about 5 Man City players between the front of the 6 yard box and the near post. A simple cross to the back post cut them all out. They can whinge all they like about players being blocked/screened etc, but it was shite defending.

Fair enough, IMO. You can just see it being a massive fudge though, as mentioned.

I fear for us next weekend.

Oh we’re going to get bummed for sure. 4-0 at least.

I just hope everyone sees it as the free hit that it is, rather than another opportunity to stick the knife in.

Depends if we conceded in exactly the same way by making exactly the same mistakes again.

Bet we do.
