How tf u compare a player like saka to rodri man😂😂😂
But Saka has been called up for the England squad these lot don’t have their facts correct 😂
It seems that nobody here have been watching City games. Saka has arguably been Arsenals best, player, however he has been pretty subdued against City in all there past games. City are not City without Rodri. Its the same as when the superstar Madrid team sold Makelele, they were never the same. Certain players cannot be replaced. Every player at City, to a certain extent can be replaced, however Rodri cannot. City without Rodri are a 2nd or third place team, he is irreplaceable. I say this because the amount of points City would lose throughout a season without Rodri, will mean them ending up 2nd or third in the league and the Wolves game was a perfect example of this
Grealish has never been a goal scorer so thats a weird take. And Foden will start regardless. Foden doesnt play LW anymore.
Honestly, Rodri is a bigger miss than Saka.
This will be an interesting game
Arteta to blame he has burnt saka out. Arteta is the spannish david moyes.
One team is real champion and one is created by media champion. What actually arsenal won to compete with city ? Just beautiful football?
I agree with stevie
As a Arsenal fan I would be happy with a draw against City I dont have no faith when we have that giffafe in our team and Saka & Martenelli out
8:40 Am learning English and I sometimes get confused. Why he say "No" Then agree
What do you mean he wasn't called up? Do these pundits even know their football? Saka "did" get called up lol
It is not about saka or rodri loss. It is about the coaches. Pep is super tactical coach who has demonstrated many times that he can manage his losses effectively, but arteta can't. that's why saka is a big loss to arsenal than rodri to city. Arteta is also very dependent on saka for Arsenal attack that's why he keep playing him regularly even with an injury risk. If saka isn't playing Arsenal will even struggle more.
if saka doesnt play we are done…..even if he does im not sure we can beat city…….rice is getting better but needs to step up to become a game winner, 100m needs to be repaid, and thats winning games….he may be playing well and doing some great stuff…..but until he starts winning games for us with his play it wont be enough…..saka is still the main man at arsenal…..
Sorry Kai, but the best for you right now is on the bench for CF backup not midfield.
We also have positive news you know. Thomas Partey is back. I believe Thomas can boss the midfield without Rodri. The only issue is Declan Rice is there, also Kai Havertz.
Grealish can no longer start ahead of Doku or Alvarez. He doesn't ever take on a defender. All he's good at is keeping the ball and he turns back into the midfield or plays the ball back into the defense.
You guys are so confusing, how is arsenal better squad then last year.. I see nothing that proves that. Rodri is a miss but you guys are forgetting Alvarez, foden, Rico, Bobb and doku have make City more diverse. Arsenal has no answer for City, I promise you!.
grealish and doku will play together that’s the only way I can see it. Pep is realizing that he needs more options so I this it’s a mix of new and experience
4:10 Ayooo PAUSEEEEEEE!!
I would question why Saka hasn't been rested before now. Nearly 90 consecutive games? I know he's a fit young man that wants to play but if other players get rested, so should Saka.
No martinelli, no Saka, while kai havertz plays, what are we saying? it’s going to be a mid team in this horror of a movie.
Saka was called up to the English squad .
Martinelli will be missed above all! 😢
Man City
no way we are beating city without Saka…stilll..theres no way we should risk him either…
Saka was called by England check your sources😢
Raya
White saliba gabriel zini
Partey rice odegaard
Saka/reiss jesus trossard
No way Arsenal can beat City without all their key players
Saka was called up to england???
One of the best matches so far, I expect arsenal to score but how long they are going to keep the lead is a huge question
Saka is a big miss against other teams in the prem, Ake pockets him every time it's them v City
Saka will play
I am worried about Halaand's form right now. I have a feeling something big is coming from him tommorrow.
Gibbs putting in a strong challenge to Don for both worst and most generic analyst.
Arsenal 2 – 1 Man City
Saka (pen) and Nelson goal
Haaland to score for City
Tomiyasu Gabriel Saliba White
Rice Partey
Odegaard
Trossard Harvetz. Jesus
Arsenal should not let Saka on the pitch. Barcelona made this mistake with Fati and Pedri. Look what happened to Fati. Pedri is struggling with injuries too.
Clearly rodri was more missed.. could have had a last minute rocket to tie at least.. but really feel bad for ake played well all game to get walloped by a shot at his head .. poor guy is gonna have nightmares
Man City – ZERO goals
All the city winning this haters where are you 😂😂😂😂😂 COYG!!!!
24hrs later, the only person for an arsenal win was the non-footballer
Hindsight is a beautiful thing…
