That Aubameyang penalty miss against Spurs is looking very costly now.

If Arsenal gets 4th and also wins the Europa League, who gets the extra ECL spot? How does this work?

I think more of the younger players should come into the squad next season.
Buy experience and talent to fill defence and central midfield.

Kudos to both City and Pool for grinding out their wins week after week.

I really enjoyed the article and had a special like for this part of the article.

Graham was unwavering on his core principles. As he told a TV reporter: “I don’t think we should try and play the Continental style. I think we are used to playing a certain way in England. A lot of people talk in England about the passing game and all this, you know. Yeah you can pass and pass and not go anywhere. There’s got to be an end product to all the passing and that means efforts on goal, crosses - it means activity in the box. Because you can pass the ball all day long, but unless you get the ball in the box you won’t score.”

Kiwi will probably like this.

The rules say you can play the advantage, away the goal and come back for. YELLOW card, but not a red.

The free kick Liverpool scored their winner from yesterday was soft....when I say soft I mean it was a blatant dive.

We are really bad at this sort of thing. I watch Liverpool and look at the number of dangerous free kicks and pens the buy and compare that to us, the situations are the same but I don’t think are players are good enough at convincing the ref it should be our free kick. It can be the only explanation

So the door to top 4 is slightly opened again. All we need is for spurs or Chelsea to drop points in any of their 3 collective remaining games.

So will Emery put out a palace type team? I hope not. No problem with Iwobi and/or Mkhitaryan coming in to the team but no Elneny and no jenkinson. Play the best players put Brighton to the sword early on and then bring them all off for a nice rest before Valencia

Apart from yesterday, it is liverpool that have been winning more comfortably recently. Look at how they have narrowed City's goal difference and goals scored advantage.

If Watford beat City in the fa cup final then the team finishing 6th will have to start the Europa League qualifying rounds on July 25. Arsenal are due to play a friendly in the US on July 23

I was looking more across the season. Liverpool have score 90+ minute winners v spurs and Everton - both due to calamitous gk errors, 90+ equaliser away to Chelsea. Late winners v Fulham and Newcastle and late goals v Southampton and Man U to win those games.
I don’t think I can recall Man City games where they have scored late to earn points.

Barcelona are rumoured to be after Lacazette if they can’t get Griezmann. I think some on here were happy with selling Lacazette for the right price in order to raise funds.
What price is right?
Toget someone who does what Lacazette does for us would cost £70m in today’s market so it would have to be £120m to make it worthwhile - and there’s no guarantee any new striker does what Lacazette does.

Maybe actually signing some more creative players means Lacazette scores even more!

It’s got to be close to 100 million.

I wouldn’t sell though. He will be tough to replace

Indeed. They have had some incredible luck. The last minute winner against Everton is something you'd get every 3 or 4 years at best and they have two this season. Eliminate one of those and City are comfortable.

Watford all over Chelsea first half. Could’ve been in front. Switch off at two set pieces and now down two nil.

That’s top 4 gone then.

Basically we need Leicester to beat them if we win both our games. They’ll get a point there.

If we win both our games and they draw, goal difference is going to be mighty close.

3 Chelsea goals now. Goal difference option disappearing over the horizon unless Brighton...now safe...lay down.

Overtaking Tottenham might be easier. They have Everton last game of the season and will be without Son and presumably Kane too.

Spurs will get at least a point againest Everton. They are at home.

I’d be shocked if either Chelsea or Tottenham blow it.

If we had only got a point at Molineux and a point v palace we would be in such a stronger position.

Mustafi should taken round the back and shot

Tottenham are well able to bottle it. Sadly, so are we. If we do manage to win our two remaining games, a draw between Everton and Tottenham would be enough for us.

How premature does the permanent appointment of Solskjaer look now? As bad as we are, they have had an abysmal season.

Give him till Christmas. Thing is the fingers might well pointed higher up the chain of command at Old Trafford.

Ok, get the first goal now!

There you go Aubameyang

Shocking ref gifts us a goal imo.................


Taylor is such a wanka.

Sokratis definitely has a screw loose.

He's a useless ref. Wasn't a peno. And now he's booked Sokratis for diving when he was actually fouled.

That's 12 yellows for Sokratis. Well done ...

Looked like a dive to me Dec

Looked like a dive tbh.

ZZZZ. ZZZZ. ZZZZ.

Tedious game. Lacazette only one who seems to look like unlocking a defence

I fearwhen they get near our box.

Who was Xhaka shouting at there, after his useless free kick?

We’re going to miss Ramsey big time.

If we could only get a second goal you get the feeling they would give up and present an opportunity to improve our goal difference

We’re not good enough for top 4 - and that’s another example why.

Asking for an Arsenal throw. Simply diverting attention away from his poor free kick.

I hope Xhaka is on the clear out list.
