Re: [FA Cup] Arsenal 2-1 Man City (Monreal, Alexis; Kun) AET
@Yuj, did Peperempe do any work, work, work, work, work...during the summer when making it rain like cumilonimbus above Chime Avenue, New Haven, Enugu last week? As far as game management be concerned, that was one of the worst displays from a top pedigree coach for a long time. How many dead legs were left on the field? Navas at fullback, Sane the full 120, Aguero off, KdB false nine, whilst losing the ascendancy, they'll slaughter him and rightly so. As far as the season be concerned, its hovering far too close to absolute failure.

Full props to the lads today. I honestly didn't hold out much hope and expected them to capitulate after City went ahead. Somehow they managed to find some steel and stand up to City in the second half and keep their belief that City is a flawed side and boy, did they exploit it to great advantage.
City though did miss great chances to level the scores but Welbeck also missed a hattrick of goals.
On to the finals. Will take a FA Cup win over nothing at this point!
And no this win did not save Wenger's job, The board were never going to fire him as much as most of us desired at the end of this season.

Not sure why I need to hide. I've said many times before the FA cup is not relevant to me. Arsenal beat the first EPL level opposition after playing a bunch of non league and championship teams like "mighty" Sutton United and Preston, and you're both popping off despite being a million points adrift of the league leaders. Shows just how low Wenger had set your collective expectations. You poor dears.
Pfft!!!

Re: [FA Cup] Arsenal 2-1 Man City (Monreal, Alexis; Kun) AET
Ok, full props to Wenger and his boys!
Did not expect this at all and it reads like Wenger actually came correct with his tactics today, na so?
To concede only one goal given all that was happened this year is quite an achievement in my opinion (lame I know, but with this team, small steps).
I hope this is a sign of things to come defensively, and if it is, maybe just maybe, Wenger can get another chance with me.
We shall see what he offers in the final! Congrats to all Gunners!

Welbeck needs to improve his finishing. This thing pass film trick. To make matters worse in ALL his missed chances, there was always someone in a good position next to him.

an improved performance. Kudos to the team. However, I remain skeptical... Arsenal has been "one step forward, 3 steps back" in recent times. Plus the team has a bunch of players who are barely functioning (intellectually or physically)...

You are a smart man. I am just chilling laughing here. People who watch football well will tell you that teams that play football the way Arsenal play are kryptonite to Pep. Pep does not know how to play against team that are good in possession, and the fact Arsenal defeated City should not be a surprise.
