Back 3 the new vogue?

Am I mistaken, or did Arsenal try a back 3 for a big game and get horribly exposed this year?

They tried it against Boro for the first time

Think you're wrong, they did it against Middlesbrough and looked a bit shaky initially but got better as the game went on and picked up a decent win.

Reese · « **Reply #722 on:** April 23, 2017, 02:40:34 pm »

Thanks guys. For some reason thought they tried it against Chelsea or City for a half a while back and then switched to a 4 to try and get back in the game.

Oxlade vs. Sané? It will be some fun.

Silva rolling around on the floor again.

Was it just me that thought that was a nailed on pen on Aguero?

None of the pundits or Webb thought so

With the benefit of five replays yeah I thought he clipped him..no way the Ref's giving that though..

Webb didn't think a clear hack on Suarez by an Arsenal defender was a penalty either a few years ago in our FA cup game

City robbed of a goal. Wtf was that ?

mc_red22 · « **Reply #729 on:** April 23, 2017, 03:41:41 pm »

Linesman yet again.

Garrus · « **Reply #730 on:** April 23, 2017, 03:41:52 pm »

Seems like a fair call.

The Final Third · « **Reply #731 on:** April 23, 2017, 03:42:25 pm »

Assistant got that wrong.. should be City 1-0

Fair call? The ball didn't go out, how is that fair?

Garrus · « **Reply #734 on:** April 23, 2017, 03:43:19 pm »

On the replay, the ball seemed to swing back in after just going out?

those two ginger City fans, Jesus, whats with the hair?

SerbianScouser · « **Reply #736 on:** April 23, 2017, 03:44:35 pm »

Arsenal dreadful and disorientated in their new formation. City are just strolling to the final third unopposed.

No the whole of the ball didn't cross the whole line.. tough call though tbf.

Miltonred · « **Reply #738 on:** April 23, 2017, 03:45:05 pm »

Goal line technology needs to be extended - slippery slope starts right here.

Garrus · « **Reply #739 on:** April 23, 2017, 03:46:29 pm »

Yeah, that was a really tough call. Fine margins and all that.

mc_red22 · « **Reply #740 on:** April 23, 2017, 03:46:30 pm »

I just don't get how a slight tug on shorts could send a grown man crashing to the ground?

I don't think it would be that hard to implement with line calls.. yes to other more dubious and arbitrary decisions..

Reese · « **Reply #742 on:** April 23, 2017, 04:21:13 pm »

That was horrible by Cech there.

No commitment to go get the ball after Aguero fluffed his touch.

Chakan · « **Reply #743 on:** April 23, 2017, 04:21:43 pm »

What was Cech doing? Having a smoke break while City countered?

tubby · « **Reply #744 on:** April 23, 2017, 04:21:53 pm »

Great finish though.

RyanBabel19 · « **Reply #745 on:** April 23, 2017, 04:22:00 pm »

Why did cech hesitate

Terrible touch from Aguero and the ball was Cechs to claim

Came here to post this. If Mignolet did that, you'd have the whole of our fan base on his back, as well as all the commentators. He's a poor keeper these days.

They weren't given it mate. They chose to televise that game.

OXLADE. Great wing-back performance today.

Welbeck's bulked up pretty well.

To be fair on Petr Cech, he has a bag full of medals he can point to.

I give Arsenal approximately 0% chance of winning today.

My prediction skills can not be underestimated. I'm sure Merson will be jealous.

Arsenal to shit on Spurs again with perhaps a trophy to end the season
