Fair play to arsenal. Took most of their chances and defended well. But feck me, city have been horrendous

If Arsenal make the final I'll be much more invested in tomorrows game.

If City make it is fully focus on top 4 and maintaining fitness as a champions League spot is more important to our future.
This is just silly.

You're saying the league is more important if City win today but if Arsenal win the FA Cup takes precedence.

It should be absolutely irrelevant at this point. The team we are playing tomorrow shouldn't change based on this.

The CL is a glorified FA Cup set to music

What the hell has happened to Jesus ?
Have you seen the players around him? It's not like he's had 5 clear cut chances

If you're expecting him to put the ball in top bins out of a half chance like Aguero you'll be disappointed, that's not him

Ffs I'd argue the likes of Silva and KDB have had worse games

If City had a Giroud or Ighalo they'd have scored a goal if not two by now....best contribution Jesus made all day was backtracking and winning the ball back there.

Has to be the first 11 now doesn't it?

Any chance of trophy winning is a must.

If we add to that a 4th and a EL final...what a season that would be.
No no no. We look absolutely beyond depleted. Much more important games coming up.
i had strongly advocated we rest entire first XI tomorrow in match thread but think Arsenal in final is too good an opportunity to resist.

maybe play DDG, AWB, Maguire, Matic, Pogba and Rashford and fill in around that.

Just had a look at City’s bench. Can’t think of anyone on there that can change a game other than Bernardo Silva.

I think selling Sané was a mistake. Unless they’re planning to get Sancho in.

De Bruyne has been levels above his teammates for City this season. Not quite a one man team but it’s got to be a big concern for them.

Christ Arteta or Lampard are going to win a trophy before Ole aren't they and you can then just imagine what will be written

Fernandinho is playing striker. Doesn’t feel all that far when City had like 8 or 9 strikers at the club.

Ferran Torres is his replacement

If they do and we’re in the Champions League nobody will care for now.

Mature performance from Arsenal. Not what you normally see with such disciplined defending.
