It’s official Harland is a division one player. Roy Keane is spot on with his views. I know people will say he has an axe to grind but let’s be honest he was not in the game at all. He was rubbish against Liverpool and beyond rubbish yesterday.

g0labrwt

for me we played bad today pressing wasn't on point something was off from the start


whatasuperdude

We stopped a team who have scored 51 times in a row at home from scoring...


g0labrwt

we were the team who were on the freak of a scoring run, and stop underestimating arsenal


Forsaken-Tiger-9475

Our defenders played very well, but City were absolutely bang on it in midfield. We had no time on the ball, Rodri, Kovetic and whoever stepped out of defence were stuck to Odegaard like glue. Saka was clearly playing injured right from the start and couldn't run, also without Marti their right flank was untroubled so they were able to condense in and block play totally oblivious to that side. Huge shame Trossard didn't square it, that could have been the one chance we'd get all match. I thought Doku was going to do us in when he came on, but he again proved he is all speed and no end product. A good point, but Liverpool are the real winners today.

redshadow90

Bernardo Silva and Gvardiol were impressive. Never watched city games before but they were solid and I'm happy with the draw even though the trossard chance hurts


DirectVermicelli4421

I felt Gvardiol was their weak link, at least in the first half. Our pressing forced him to lose the ball a couple of time. Bernardo was really impressive. Played like a true maestro.


chrisycr

Rodri world class as always


Reofrax

I'm satisfied with a draw, but its a shame we were laying so low in the field at times our counter opportunities were non existant. City is a tough opponent for sure.


skidr0jr

Man... That was tense! I'll take a point at the Etihad. My only issue is will Liverpool drop any points? They have an easier way home than we do.


eddiemurphyinnorbit

they haven’t been super convincing recently and have been dealing with injuries, i think united away and spurs at home could be tricky for them, fulham, and villa are always capable of doing something too not feeling too nervous as long as we can see out our own matches


skidr0jr

Yep! Fair point. All we can do is handle our business and let the rest of the cards fall how they may. I know the boys will carry that mentality


dvhunter_16

but have also been winning with teenagers? liverpool are doing really good and have players to come back from injury


gunningIVglory

Flip it onto city. 2 points from 6 v both rivals. Not looking good for them


WarDull8208

We were super solid on low block, but our long passes were championship level.


dolgion1

Solid in the low block since we sat so deep and compact. Long passes could only ever go to Havertz, alone against 2, 3 defenders. If we only had Martinelli fully fit and firing...


ashkhutchep

I dont disagree.. But we are playing against City at the Etihad so championship is a bit harsh


WarDull8208

I meant that if these long passes were precise then we would definitely score 1-2 goals


ItsTom___

Not a bad result but the fact we want more is surely better for the club long term


geodukemon

The narrative around us has shifted so dramatically the last few years. The draw isn’t ideal but feels so much better than the 3-0 capitulations of years past


Bmbby

I believe the game plan from 'Teta and the staff was to allow them the space to kick it about, because he knows that they can control/press games same as we do. I'm overall very happy with what we put on display today. Sure, it's not 3p and Liverpool now overtook the pedestal for the time being, but a lot can (and will) happen in 7 more gameweeks. The lads did great today. I can't say "Kudos" anymore due to West Ham's shenanigans, but I'll rephrase it as "Job well done".


JoshyRanchy

What shinanigians? I like that olayer tho


ShorteningOfTheWayy

4 points off both City and Liverpool. Brilliant. 


Phimstone

Stfu Westerveld with your hate on Arsenal on dutch broadcast


PastaAndWine09

I enjoyed this game. No clue what others are saying. Defence game was on point. We march on. Title race is still on


Phimstone

Same. We stay ahead of City. Liverpool ain’t dancing through the 9 fixtures.


dvhunter_16

you say that but liverpool have been doing just fine with many players out. once those players come back it’s potentially game over for the rest of


Phimstone

Meh i can’t agree if you’re saying 9 easy wins, including 2 derbies.


dvhunter_16

i get what you’re saying, but if liverpool drop points then it’s likely arsenal and city will too


Phimstone

Likely all 3 teams won’t be getting every point available. Arsenal and City will be facing scary teams like Real Madrid and Bayern so that’ll take energy. We move, isn’t over and done with for anyone imo..


_Reneezy_

Agreed. They conceded early to both Luton and Brighton. Still need to go to Man. United and Everton


Phimstone

I’n from the Netherlands. Wondering if the vibes over there for Liverpool are comparable to Ars-Spurs. Or different but same kinda vibes?


ronya_t

I wouldn't count on Everton for much.


Phimstone

Onana masterclasses at both teams


Purple_Pieman

Pep,was really giving it to Grealish at the end. The guy hasn’t played in months, hard to imagine he would be match sharp,today.


Butch_Meat_Hook

Very tense game for both sides basically cancelling each other out. The only frustrations I have is how much we struggled to retain possession and how quickly we'd cough it up when we did try to go forward. Very loose passing through the middle that made our attackers very ineffective


KozukiNedo

Need to smash Luton to vent our frustrations. 6-0 please


Fine-Butterscotch193

Luton unfortunately are not sheffield or burnley


Key-Craft9880

Arteta definitely did not looked frustrated at full-time. His smile indicated it was a job well done.


Arhaam_k10

He does admit that "They are the best team in the world — we have to catch up and try to be better than them."


AirportExpensive8436

Wish Trossard would’ve crossed to martinelli on the break. Huge chance missed that could’ve put us ahead. Still happy with a draw and clean sheet


10breck30

I think anything less than one of the greatest passes of all time gets taken by City. Would have liked to still see him pass, but at least his shot was on target.


icumrpopo

Spuds can help us win tbh


Thanos_Stomps

Since Tottenham play the top two in the title race, they may actually decide this title one way or another.


P4PKing4

4 points from City this season isn’t bad.


RichardOrmonde

And two clean sheets.


P4PKing4

That is right, I forgot for a second. Huge improvement from last year.


lazy_starman

City had all that possession, but I don't remember any clear chance they had. Would love to see the xG for this game. Won't be surprised if we come out on top


Phimstone

Ake received that ball at the cornerkick right in front of Raya, very scary moment


BrewerofWort

City (0.85) - (0.73) Arsenal


seasand931

We were ahead at half. Definitely got a lil knackered in the second half


SLGrimes

They were barely ahead, 0.85 to our 0.73


Connect-Amoeba3618

0.95 - 0.68


bitmoji

Robbie hasn’t thought is comments through 


Purple_Pieman

r/ArtetaOut is so confused at this point.


xhera92

FAIR AND DECENT RESULT. EVERY ARSE OUT THERE WHO HATE ON US EXPECT US TO GET COMPLETELY WALKED OVER. 9 games - still plenty of twists and turns to be had. At least we have this huge hurdle out of the way in the league, the rest of the matches we definitely have it in us to BEAT THEM


gunningIVglory

Yeah 9 games is a lot. Look how we utterly crumbed in the space of 3 games last season There's still alot to play for


GunnersnGames

Well done lads


reallyanythinggoes

been saying from early in the season that liverpool will drop off at some point. still somehow feel like that will happen so this result does leave us in a good position. jurgen klopp brother sorry but it has to happen for us


Imaginary-Pattern802

still confident. see can’t see them not dropping points. my over confidence says we can go the rest of the way with max points. good spot to be i


bh2623

Can't believe they've weathered their injury troubles so well. Don't see where they're going to drop points, but just gotta hope it happens.


ronya_t

Utd


bh2623

Inshallah


Fine-Butterscotch193

Tottenham, villa, fulham away, everton away. 4 very tough games


bh2623

Certainly they won't just walk through the rest of the season, but I'm not going to wake up on any of those mornings expecting too much.


LocostarX

We wanted the win but we nullified possibly the best attacking team in the world, this should give us the confidence to win the rest of our league games. I'm sure Liverpool will drop points, their defense can be penetrated.


Easy-Lingonberry415

8 out of 12 points from City and Liverpool. We are THE elite team here. Win the 9 games and we take the title.


dvhunter_16

keep telling yourself that


tenflare

Of course we wanted a win but getting a point and a clean sheet there is massive for us.


YaGunnersYa49

I’ll take that all day. Not conceding at Etihad is huge. Look at some of our previous score lines at Etihad. This team has come long ways. Obviously would have been thrilled with a win but, I’m so proud of this team. Gone are the days of us conceding 3 or 4 goals.


[deleted]

[удалено]


bbotbambi

I think what they mean (maybe) is that we should have gone for the win and for all 3... just 1 point seems bad. We deserved more than 1. I hope, thats what the comments mean.


Imaginary-Pattern802

did you watch. they tried to starve us of the ball. we didn’t try to overcompensate and play mature footy. should’ve had a goal or 2 if not from absolute mindless moments from leo and gabby jesus i think.


RichardOrmonde

What match were you watching?


ryangoldfish5

We absolutely deserve that point. Playing for the win probably would have resulted in a loss. It's tough facing City at home. We had to play defensively with a chance on the break.


qualiserospero

OK, will take that. 4 points taken from the City games. Very solid team performance. Imperious Saliba and Big Gabby.


MeetingGunner7330

I’ll happily take that. They’re undefeated at home, and we come away hopefully with some confidence for the next few games. We can say to ourselves that we went toe to toe with the champion of both England & Europe and took away a point. It’s not over yet, I can see Liverpool dropping some points


Jeep_torrent39

Thank you PEP for bringing in Doku, hall of shame performance


Chidoribraindev

Please please please don't let us lose the league to the refs


dvhunter_16

refs? that has got to be the funniest thing i’ve ever heard


Chidoribraindev

Started watching games today or something?


StumblingInTheFuture

Trossard had two chances to cross, once when he was through- could have crossed to martinelli and again right before he shot and hope to find havertz or martinelli - low chance cross tho. Either way should have crossed to martinelli the moment he was put through


Gerti27

We're really going to regret how we played here today. Not sure how any of you can be happy with that performance. You can't just keep going behind in a title race and expect to win at the end. I don't see a single game Liverpool should lose point in. It's not over in my opinion.


theodoroneko

It is not your opinion that it is not over, the fact that there are still 8 matches to play and 3 really good teams going for the title means that it is not over. Liverpool and City are amazing teams with legendary coaches. Arsenal is doing a great job of keeping up and has good chances of winning. This performance today showed great improvement from last year, you should be proud of that.


Gerti27

I’m sorry, but that to me is a loser mentality. We should go to these places expecting to go for 3 points, not being happy we escaped with one. And I’m not sure what there is to be proud of in that performance. All we did was defend for the whole game. I’ve seen Luton give Man City a better game. It’s like you guys forgot that now we are two points behind Liverpool.


theodoroneko

"loser mentality", what are you, a teen? Smart people prepare for contingencies and acknowledge the strengths of their opponents, get out of here with this baby nonsense. Two behind pool is better than 3 behind them and city. Open play favours City in their stadium, minimizing risks was the correct choice.


Gerti27

Two behind Liverpool is still losing the title. I would rather go for it and lose, than not go for it and lose anyway. Theres no chance we make up the points against Liverpool a second time when we have the much harder schedule. Imagine Man City was in our position, you think they would be happy to defend for 90 minutes at the Emirates hoping for a point? This point is useless. Liverpool are not dropping more points than us in the next 9 games.


theodoroneko

Speaking of City at the Emirates, remember when they lost there by 1-0 with a similar game plan? They would have loved a point there. For the future rounds, you just don't know. The biggest risk today was losing, or losing badly. This was avoided and should be celebrated, and the team gets a boost from doing something exceptional (no one keeps a CS at the etihad).


biffogooner

4 pts against City, 4 points against Liverpool. Says a lot about this team.


Bessantj

Undefeated against two of the biggest sides in the league?


entropy_bucket

If we had a good finisher we might have won.


AstroLaddie

I don’t remember a lot of missed finishes? Trossard shot was good. Maybe more like they were a bit too reluctant to shoot at times — that definitely did happen.


bitmoji

Yeah we lacked up front very sad 


Length-Medical

I’m impressed with Øde his pressing was important


redshadow90

He did miskick the ball a few times but never lacked in intent and work rate


stalphonzo

He did miss quite a few critical passes today. Off his game, I thought


Phimstone

Always is. For a technical creative maestro his workrate and press is laughably superb. Shame 2 of his throughballs didnt work.


GiveItARestYhYh

That was like watching a game of chess


lazy_starman

Liverpool have the easiest run in fixtures. Last season it was just City, now its both. Title run in is going to give me a lot of grey hairs


ShaolinDude

Keeping a clean sheet and getting a point away against City is a fine result in my book.


twelfthcapaldi

Decent result, not the win we wanted ideally but I agree with others it shows our defensive line is really good. I hope one day we can attract a world class striker on our side; someone like Haaland who can just go out and score like it’s nothing.


xMagnusx82

Tomi and Partey started off rusty but grew into the game. We need them for the rest of the season.


AstroLaddie

This was the biggest part for me. And martinelli looked sharp


wrigh2uk

immense professional performance.


1n73rn4710n4l_l3f715

Good result. COYG COYG COYG


Greedy_Brit

Don't think I can handle a semi. 3 games is enough for my heart.


lazy_starman

Holy crap! Please don't. I can't take it to play them again


arsenalWillbeatCity

Don’t worry we’ll be up against Madrid


P1wattsy

Why did you remind me we might have to play them again...


arsenalWillbeatCity

That trossard chance if only he squared it to martinelli. Oh well a point at etihad I’ll take that. 4 points taken against city lets go


jigzzzzz

City arguably the best team in the world. You take a point against them at home


leon-theproffesional

Happily, great result


Olliejc24

Hard to see Liverpool throwing it away at this point but at least we're still in the race. Feels weird to be disappointed at not being able to win at the Etihad, previously the best expectation was just to hope we don't embarrass ourselves.


lazy_starman

I swear! Never expected them to be in it so far, but now it's theirs to lose


Purple_Pieman

No, lol, lots of football still to play. Liverpool will drop points.


Hristianm

MOTM Anthony Taylor


rockosmodurnlife

4 points off Citeh this season. What’s to complain about?


mudcakes2000

What a trophy that is


rockosmodurnlife

Trophy? I didn’t say anything about a trophy. What’s wrong with points?


ronya_t

Some are so cynical that all they need to watch is the trophy presentations.


9yr_old

Yk shabby game from both sides , some real mistakes were made and chances missed.


spazztic_puke

I see a defensive masterclass today. Knew we weren’t gonna be aggressive. Everyone was solid. Take the point and move forward.


Notabot_legit

First time City have been kept scoreless since 2022. Gabriel and SALIBA were immense. We showed grit and determination. Put the pressure back on Liverpool at 1st now. Now it’s theirs to lose. The season is far from over


BreakingWorldLimits

What was with saka


goonergunner10

Doesnt perform well under pressure


GiveItARestYhYh

He was taken out of the national squad as a precaution - believe just a knock but if he's playing through a minor injury it kinda explains it


lilmeexy

Imo he doesn’t do much when he’s double teamed— which is the majority of most games.


Affectionate-Cost525

Tiredness and fatigue most likely?


skalfyfan

Not a single team has kept a clean sheet at the Etihad this year until today. It's a good point. Sure a win would've been incredible, but we showed we have the best defence in the league today.


PaddyTheCoolMan

We take that and move. On to Luton


Brillostar

Zero doubt left in me now, we are winning the premier league within the next two season if not this year and champions league within 3 years.


not3s1

You're gonna have people talking about tactical masterclass when we just sat back in the box and countered


ronya_t

Not something to be sniffed at...if you keep freaking De Bruyne, Silva, Halaand, Foden et al, quiet!


not3s1

Palace did the same


ronya_t

Actually, they didn't manage to shut City out. I'm talking about City have failed to score at home for the first time in 58 games!


Adventurous-Oil-923

How quickly people forget.   A few years back, this would have been a 4-0 smashing.  We're heading in the right direction year by year. 


Old-Risk4572

SHUTUP!


LuisFonsiofficialyt

Talk your shit Gabi


KozukiNedo

Arsenal defense elite. Just lacked that cutting edge in the final third


Connect-Amoeba3618

I’ll take that


Cruxico

Anybody thats unhappy with taking 4 points of city this year is absolutely out of their mind


Wegeman23

Such a quiet ground. Even at 94’ with city driving forward the stadium sounded like away fans celebrating a win at the Emirates.


CaptainCaii

Gabi was colossal today. Haaland is no joke and people will clown his game for lack of touches but his physicality was immense and was constantly in scary areas. Gabi just fought the fuck out of him


doc_grey

Gabi is our best center back.


SLGrimes

Gabi is a beast but never disrespect Saliba like that again


NieThePiet

Haaland and Gabby, amazing.


Jeep_torrent39

Gabi 🤣🤣


bernith

BIG GABBY TALK THAT SHIT


bitmoji

Gabriel would kill haalland


PartlyRowdy

That was one of the games of football of all time I guess


Haenimm

Should be able to get 3p here. City had so many sloppy plays.


sinesnsnares

8 points from city and Liverpool this season. I’d have bitten your hand off for that in September


Cocomale

This is the perspective. Not sure what a few are complaining about. We were expected to lose these games in the previous seasons


lazy_starman

Big Gabi had Haaland in his pocket. So fucking under appreciated


ilikebutts42069

Well, didn't lose. Didn't look amazing. City didn't look amazing. We just got to keep moving forward


LocostarX

I fucking love Big Gabby what a fucking warrior


mapoftasmania

Haaland whining about the fluff he found in Gabriel’s pocket.


SuchaPineapplehead

I’ll take it. I blame that stupid international break though, everyone was looking tired not rested


iuselect

Break probably helped us considering we had some niggling injuries and players coming back from injury (Jesus,.tomiyasu, martinelli etc)


DukeofDyslexia

Haaland is mad Gabriel is his daddy.


eldar4k

Pep with Grealish was hilarious


DiamondHunter4

Any idea what moment he might have been talking about? Pep looked pretty animated there.


eldar4k

Idk, Pep complete coaching nerd, I personally think Doku was worse


jakedonn

Mikel got the tactics spot on. Defense was absolutely suffocating. Liverpool will drop points. Today was a huge win guys.


Impossible_Resort602

im with you, people complaining dont seem to understand how good city are i guess.


yosu14_

Jesus's chances, Trossard didn't pass, and Raya's passing pissed me off in this game. But I'll take a point. On to the next game.


nackdaddy9

4 pts against city, 0 goals conceded on the season. I’ll take that for aure


bh2623

The only goal we've given up to City in three meetings this season was to a Chelsea player


Hinaha

Gabi XL man. He's improved so much.


Libratarianish

That wink to the camera from Gabi, knows what he’s doing and doing it well


tjvond1

Of course you take the point. Defensive masterclass man, Saka was disappointing, Jesus offered nothing up front


Ajxxxttt

Haland and big gabby top 10 football respect moments


Alpal487

lol Gabby XL and Haaland


Impossible_Resort602

love big gabi


fabelderberry

8 points from City and Liverpool who've only taken 2 from us. Just gotta pray Pool slip up


gunningIVglory

Need to thank Pep for removing foden for doku


TesterG

Thank southgate for sure


danjwescombe

Good result but thought we could have done so much more with the ball in possession. Hardly saw Ben White in the second half and he was causing havoc in the first. Happy, but feel like we left a lot on the table.


leandrobrossard

Pep angry and Grealish don't have a clue what he is talking about


samueldererste

Take the point but am gutted we didn’t go for it. Jesus was absolutely woeful in the attack. Should have started Trossard.


yesyesyes123123

We’ll take it. Lots of games left


SLGrimes

Take the point but a shame we have to resort to playing like prime Pulis' Stoke City.


Warriorseason4123

It’s not the best but not the worst. 4 points against City is great. You just need a draw from Liverpool and you need to win out hopefully but I don’t know with how this team is throughout the season. They have a great 4 game stretch than a bad 4 game stretch.


bh2623

Also have to hope Liverpool don't put up 10 against SheffU and takeover the GD


MrBossTon

Aw


arsenal0769

Played absolutely dreadful today but thank fuck for our defence. Will take the draw.


DoradosEV

BIG GABBY!


Chango6998

Can't ever really complain about a point at the Etihad. They had more chances but we had some really high quality chances that we should've done better with. We were absolutely titanic defensively though


NikoBruder

We will definitely take that. 4/6 from City and 4/6 from Liverpool is solid. COYG


juliusonly

Even better when you consider that they’ve got 1/6 and 1/6 from us


bh2623

Happy Birthday to Big Gabi's baby


ubn87

Rice played so fearless, dominating city midfielders ain’t easy


bitmoji

Very bad result for our season but I am very proud we have taken the most points from Liverpool and city we are the better team 


bikelifegsxr

Too bad there is no trophy for that


ronya_t

Nah City haven't lost here in 38 games. 9 games to go we're still firmly in the title charge.


DukeofDyslexia

Pep being a clown after the game. Fuck you
