Impressive composure from Martinez there 
Premier League Gameweek 35-37 + FA Cup semis

Nothing and I mean nothing will ever, ever match the feeling we had after losing in 2005. Coming back from Cardiff....I still can't believe how we lost thatWould love to face Arse in the final but the possibility of losing against them would be unbearable.
Arsenal has done well to defend in numbers but disciplined to attack too. Been impressed by them.
City’s kit it weird.. I can’t think of any other shirts where you can see just how sweaty each players back is. Pep must’ve demanded it to see who works hardest
We beat City earlier this season with McTominay, Fred, Lingard & James all starting. They really aren’t as great as the media like to say they are.
Done a very good job with them. They are actually playing good football outside of brighton. Even against spurs they were the better team, just undone by clown luis, who wouldn't be playing had it not been for injuries to mari etc.
They don't really look arsed tonight though IMO. When they are they're the best team in the league no question.
Anyone calling them an “easy game” for the final is in for a rude awakening.
Why wouldn’t they be arsed though? They have nothing to play for in the league & the CL isn’t until August.
If arsenal win this game then I’m okay playing full team against Chelsea. No way we risk a free win in the final.
I obviously don't know the answer to that, they're definitely not giving this their all though.
Genuinely surprised by City's low intensity approach.
That's absolute bollocks though.
KDB hasn't had a good game so far
I have a feeling that if we were to make it to the final and we were to play them, they'd be much more up for it. They look like they're expecting Arse to roll over
No City player has so far.
Can someone explain how this 3-4-3 system works with Arsenal. How do they not get overrun in midfield?
Too right. We aren't peak era SAF.
I cannot understand why people think that we would be nailed on to beat Arsenal in the final. I would fancy us , but it could easily go the other way. Arsenal look decent tonight.
Their defence has regressed. Especially when they didn't have laporte for a long while.
For some reason he has given up on stones and otamendi.
pep will probably spend another 300m on defenders again though. Spent plenty before on mangala and the like.
We haven't beaten them this season, why would it be a free win?
Pep not even looking his assistant in the eye there
Luiz looks tremendous in a back 3.
Well it's on Pep not his assistant
Lacazette is dropping into the midfield very often
Ngl judging by this performance I think i would rather have City if we get to the final.
I could see Arsenal being much more up for it than them

Cant get overrun if you dont intend to compete in midfield.
Now he's talking to an empty seat. The guy has lost it
Can we get a gif of Pep looking like he's talking tactics to the empty seat (before the camera zoomed out)?
He's been okay but there has been no stand out's.
There's just not enough intensity in their play. They definitely need to go up a gear or two. Can see Foden coming on.
Arsenal have been brilliant here. Unlucky not to be at least 2-0 up.
Exactly! I could not believe Emery played him in a back 2 the whole time and also Arteta till the last 4-5 games. Luiz is made for a back 3.
Players closing gaps. Looks like Arsenal forwards are also dropping deeper to support the defense.
Don't see anything fancy about City's attacking play. They just go wild and try to put it in the box. And this is not the first time I see this.
We have better patterns of play in attack since the restart and score very good goals.
But Ole is tactically inept and Pep is a genius apparently... Thanks god Ole beat Pep a few time otherwise many more people will ask for his head.

Pep off to see his dealer in Wembley. He needs a fix

If Arsenal win I really hope we play a half decent team tomorrow- I think a better chance against Arsenal than City & also revenge for 05 final which I haven’t really got over yet
That clip of Guardiola ignoring his ranting assistant was fantastic.
That's what Utd have been doing restart.
Can’t say I blame him. Same reason we have up on Jones & Rojo. Both are absolutely terrible.
