Lewis is now moved to LB and holding midfielder now but he never passes forward so that can’t work surely ?

Pep is the best ever manager


City just need to refreshen the squad next season, ditch some ego's who feel too good to be giving their 100% each game, and sign players who actually want to play their best each game to impress the manager

He WAS in the discussion but absolutely elite managers don’t lose 9 and draw 2 out of 12 games

These useless refs !!

Odegard was tripped twice no foul
Seconds later one Palace player tripped in exactly the same way in the same passage of play - foul given .

Wow

These forwards and their confidence issues !!

Gabriel Jesus just scored his second of the night with his second touch .


Thats 5 goals in the last 3 days or so

Palace 1:2 Arsenal ..

Now Arsenal have caught the bug of calamitous defending !!

What is with defenders passing back to goalkeeper who mess things up

Martinelli was just barged in his chest OFF the pitch by Larma in the Palace penalty box !!

Only a corner given but that happened last week as well .. that’s two definite penalties missed by officials and VAR !!

Saka limping off injured - hamstring

I am sooo tired of all the cheating in football these days …

Mateta ( 6’4” ) went down as though he’d been sniped and was motionless but when he saw the ref had played on he jumped up and sprinted to join in with the attack


Why aren’t officials clamping down on the blatant cheating

Soooo it appears we have THREE sides head and shoulders above the rest

Better squads and in great form

Arsenal , Chelsea and Liverpool

That leaves Villa , Spurs and now Newcastle in the chasing pack - all arguably better than both ManU and Manc

But yeah, it's a 3 horse race for the title now.

with all due respect, it's the Premier League we talk about, one of world's best leagues, also most competitive league

ManC are in a little form crisis right now, and like i said you cannot really afford that in a highly competitive competition, with the likes of Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, and even Nottingham Forest, Spurs are also quite good, even a Brighton have what it takes to deliver upsets

everyone wanted a season without city in contention, so people have been granted their wish

Personally, i think Arsenal have had it now with the Saka injury, he is the main player that makes Arsenal tick
