For starters, never agree with Piers Morgan.
For starters, I was agreeing with you ABOUT Piers Morgan. All I said is i'm happy someone is giving it to Nasri. Which I am.
You had one chance from a corner. Other than that you passed around a lot without creating anything. The ONE time you actually manufactured a chance playing your normal style your players were that shocked two of them missed open goals.
I just told you what we created. We had 3 or 4 opportunities where any other day we would have scored. And if the finishing was better we would have won by 3 or 4 and we wouldn't be having this conversation. The problem with how we played against City wasn't that we didn't create any chances it was that we didn't put away the majority of chances we had.
The header of the post and the goal were the only examples of your team not f*cking around playing in triangles 35 yards from goal and actually playing football to win a game, not win the best passing team of the year award.
Where do you think the heading opportunity came from? We worked it from one side of the field to the other, 35 yards out from goal, until Song was in a position to see that Kompany wasn't marking RvP as tight as he could have been.
So because we don't set out to counter attack or chuck it down to the wingers and let them lob it into dangerous areas for the whole game we don't want to win? Cool theory.
How about you look at it from another angle. How many chances did City create? f**k all. Why is that? Because we were playing triangles 35 yards from goal their whole game.
In your post you actually listed all the chances you created (the goal wasn't even a chance you created, a city player lost it and Arteta stopped messing around and hit the thing).
I've got no idea where you're going with this tbh. Of course we created that chance. If Arteta wasn't pressing (like we had been all game) he wouldn't've lost it. Because of where Arteta got the ball their defense wasn't set and they didn't get out quick enough to shut him down.
Don't get me wrong, it was a good result, but i was very disappointed with City, who played the wrong game plan. Made it into a boring game.
Disappointed with City? How would you like them to have played? They play possession football. We play possession football. And we raped them at it. They have been poor since the Swansea game and we exploited that, the scoreline doesn't show it but anyone that watched it will admit we were the better team and should have won by a more convincing margin.
