How these roles work
Blamed (Causer)
Fans named this player as the direct cause of a negative outcome. Examples: "Maguire gave away the penalty", "Ten Hag's formation cost us". Scores are amplified when the causer is blamed clearly.
Sympathy (Victim)
This player was on the receiving end of something — a foul, a bad decision, being dropped, or let down by teammates. Fans feel for them rather than against them.
Credit (Beneficiary)
Fans gave this player clear credit for a positive outcome — a goal, an assist, a key moment. Includes players who enabled something good to happen. This is the co-winner of a match moment.

When Gabriel can’t get away with pulling and grabbing and fouling everyone in a 5 mile radius, he really isn’t all that. Errors in him and a bit of a coward in proper battles. Only reason he doesn’t see red is that Haaland’s not arsed.

Eze was one of 2 players who looked like scoring for them.

Look who is on the pitch for Arsenal though in terms of height. Raya is small for a goalkeeper and it might actually come down to goal difference.

No player is flawless. To put no agency on Ödegaard for the pass while putting it all on Havertz is objectively disingenuous.
Crazy how the commentators instinctively praise City players. "Great take by Doku. Ah wait, it actually it was a very heavy touch."
@Arsenal A team that has Odegaard, Eze and Rice on the field and all they can do is score from corners ...says a lot about the manager and his style of play. Eze a player who would make superb runs into the box is being subbed off with minimal impact..Arteta isn't letting people play.
When Gary Neville says Gabriel deserved a red, then you know it’s a red. I wonder if the league will “look at it” and then say that VAR and the official were wrong.
It’s annoying cause as a team we do but I think as an individual Eze is better. Liek the shots Eze takes odegaard never even thinks of, but without Odegaard it seems this team can’t think, it’s like he controls everyone while he’s there.
Even the goal we conceded, as soon as Martinelli pressed the wrong guy ode had his hands up and was frustrated…
◆ Algo-Amplified — Boosted Without Substance
Taylor was wrong, that was red all day. not to mention the foul before that that was yellow.
Actually unbelievable what Arsenal and Gabriel in particular is allowed to get away with. Most protected team in the Premier League by far
Imagine showing someone a replay of Muani's disallowed goal because he "pushed" Gabriel, and then showing Gabriel's shirt pulling/head butting this game, and telling them the latter is "exactly the physically we want to see in the game", but the former has no place in the game
Silva and O’Reily joint MoMs imo
Cherki’s goal is amazing of course but I think the other two were just everywhere and didn’t make a single wrong move
[lol his side-eye and smirk to the camera after the whistle](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/HGSPGocXsAAjrix?format=jpg&name=medium)
Can't wait for Arsenal flairs to complain about referee bias the next time they give a throw in the wrong way when Gabriel gets away with that

@Citizenology1 @Arsenal He’s not wrong. Arsenal are the biggest cheats in the league bar none.
Drogba scores that. Rooney scores that. Ronaldo scores that. Champions of the past have strikers who score that. We do not have that. Simple as. Also it being the 90th plus stoppage and now we send in crosses is fucking insane. This team simply does not have winning dna in them
You can’t defend this game from Big Gabi. He has been outdribbled several times and that was terrible coverage. Bad game overall from him.
Cherki's goal was exquisite. I don't even think it can be classed as poor defending. Fantastic from Kai to stem the bleeding immediately after, good first half and actually fun to watch. Heart attack inducing, sure, but exciting nonetheless. We're actually trying things, Ødegaard…

Arsenal supporters are seething over Gabriel Magalhães escaping a red card offence during the match — either for a shirt pull or headbutt depending on which incident they're referencing — with widespread anger that VAR failed to intervene and cost their title rivals Manchester City a numerical advantage. The consensus is scathing: a clear red card was bottled by the officials, consistency is dead, and the decision will have real consequences in the run-in.

Emerging
Manchester City and Arsenal supporters are fuming about the seemingly arbitrary seven minutes of added time at the end of the match, with fans pointing out the inconsistency in how referees award injury time across different games in the same matchweek.

Arsenal Fans Vent After City Loss Despite Improved Display
Emerging
Controversial
Arsenal supporters are frustrated that despite playing their best football in months against Manchester City, they've surrendered a 2-1 defeat that feels symptomatic of a broader collapse in form since January. The overriding sentiment is one of regret — fans believe their recent poor performances against lower-ranked sides (Bournemouth, Forest, Wolves, Brentford) have cost them far more points than this loss, and that City's fortune in tight matches has compounded what's become a crisis of confidence at the top of the table.
Arsenal Fans Pile On Raya After Goalless Draw

Arsenal Fans Blast Diving as "Part of the Game"
Manchester City and neutral supporters are venting frustration over multiple diving incidents during the match, with particular criticism aimed at Arsenal players and manager Mikel Arteta for theatrics rather than genuine contact.

Arsenal Fans Debate Dowman Substitution Timing Call

"Kind of crazy how Arsenal managed to make all neutrals root for City, pretty telling tbh"
What? Everyone in the prem loves City lol
There's only ever one winner but there's 19 losers
The only team ever cheering against city are the team up against them. Everyone knows they're just oil money and cheating so everyone is fine for them to win because it literally doesn't matter to them.
Most people don't even know a city fan. But they all know fans of other big clubs
Hateable players, hateable fans, hateable manager. What do you expect
People don’t hate City as much as they lead on tbf
People are sheep and want upvotes so all they talk about is "bottling". Reddit likes to think it's better, but it's just like all other social media. A little popularity contest for the dumb dumbs
I only want City to win the league because I think Pep will want to leave on a high, so he will hopefully fuck off they manage to do it.
Brother every neutral goes with city cause they know their trophies mean fuck all
I fucking hate oil teams but was rooting for City because the Arsenal choke is just too funny
Every year people complain about City and every year neutrals root for them to win because they hate Arsenal/Liverpool more.
Objectively false. Everyone and their mother supported them against Liverpool too, simply because City winning does absolutely nothing to anybody.
They're closing in the all time premier league record and I guarantee not one person in United's fanbase gives a fuck even though they are city rivals.
Yup, couldn't care less who wins the prem as long as it's not arsenal

Seeing a fellow Rants viewer on Reddit is mad
The same actually applies to Man United fans too. Happens everytime you get a new manager.
Reminds me of one of my favourite ever tweets: "Arsenal fans are always explaining something"
They’re actually a joke. Ironically their banter era never actually ended. It just became cruel because now they actually have hope lmao.

Truly would be something special to see a quadbottle.
bigger fish to fry
🍼🍼🍼🍼 The QUADBOTTLE going strong
AFTV has done irreparable damage to the club.
↳
AFTV are far more likeable than the majority of Arsenal fans I speak to irl
↳
And instagram reels. I’m aware it doesnt mean much to people on here but all these clips circulate around footy instagram a lot and that in itself drives a lot of hate towards them
"The difference between having clinical forwards."
"The difference between having clinical forwards."
We have clinical forwards. You cannot tell m Gyok is not a clinical forward.
The REAL difference is between having technical midfielders that create those chances for the forwards. We are severely lacking in that department.
I miss when Leo was clinical, dude made me so much start of this year with Goal/Assist bets, and years prior.
I will say the difference today wasn’t finishers City put plenty wide, we had 2 cleared off the line and Eze’s bounce out the goal. On a wider scale yes, and I hope that’s fixed properly this summer.
Also obligatory fuck B.Silva glad the little prick is leaving in the summer.
Our topscorer was on the bench for the whole game…..
↳
This was quite literally a great decision by Arteta all things considered. For his size he is a terrible hold up striker and doesn't win long balls. Also is not good in the air, which is what we were looking for on numerous occasions today
↳
Great decision to hold our your topscorers that’s bagged a hat trick against the same team that you’re trying to beat..
That reply shows a lot of copium right there. He’s a pure finisher, something that Havertz couldn’t do or else he’d been our topscorer right now………
↳
You’re missing the part where he played full game against Bournemouth and did nothing aside from slotting in a pen. Scuffed a bunch of passes and shots. And his game against city in the carabao final was even worse
↳
And you’re missing the part where Havertz bottled it for us in multiple seasons and in the final as well this season…….
↳
Havertz has had big moments at this level over the years, and he’s a much better “team” player. If he’s not scoring you still notice him in the game. Gyokeres is absolutely nothing without the goals, and has no pedigree beyond the Portuguese league lol. Maybe he should’ve come in earlier, but starting him was not the play today
↳
Today’s shows a clinical finisher was more needed than a team player.., But hey our midfield and wingers lacked that quality by the way we’ve been playing negatively all season……
↳
gyokeres never gets to this ball or any chances against big team, we plas gyokeres today he has zero shots and no impact whatsoever, rather play Kai who actually does something instead
"I don't even think we played badly "
"I don't even think we played badly "
Sorry we did not play well today, even in the end trying to equalize, it’s such a struggle to move the ball into a dangerous position. Watched football for 40 years that’s never a sign a team played well.
The whole game it was City that had the initiative and we are just holding on for dear life. Arteta is a disgrace and pathetic how he thinks we are going to win a title playing like this.
Makes the last few games look even worse then doesn't it?
We're clearly capable of playing like this, we just dont
And despite all the pain the past month…. it’s still not over. Still in the CL semis, still top of the league.
The life of a football fan - either extreme joy or depression in the coming weeks lol
If we played like today for all those silly dropped points...
That’ll win us the league 👍🏻
I don't understand why it wasn't a foul against Hincapié at the end.
The last man decision vs Havertz... I don't understand that
If Gabriel was called shirt pulling Haaland, then why was he allowed to do it for his goal?
Every single 50/50 decision went their way. People moaning about Gabriel and his "headbutt"... yet Haaland was the one that started touching heads, and kicked out at him.
We shouldn't have been in this position in the first place. So many wasteful points dropped before this. And even in this game, with the chances we had, we should have won. We didn't play badly.
That's because we have been even worse in recent games. Standards have been completely lost.
It's all down to clinical finishing. Havertz misses two big chances in the 2nd half and we go on to lose the game. It's the really small margins.
The subs are bad, the finishing are bad. Where are your standards
if we play like that every game we've got a good chance
"We haven't played badly at all. Twice hit the post, Donnaruma double save, this missed chance by Havertz. Idk how we've not come away with a point tbh. Boys played with heart and thats all I ask of an"
"We haven't played badly at all. Twice hit the post, Donnaruma double save, this missed chance by Havertz. Idk how we've not come away with a point tbh. Boys played with heart and thats all I ask of an"
Cherki dribbling through our defence was bad. And you're a liar if you say otherwise.
If we'd played like we did today for the last month, this game wouldn't even matter.
You should also ask for trophies
This is a good comment. I whole heartedly agree. It’s fine to lose but don’t lose by playing terribly. I didn’t watch the game but if they played well and lost then we can’t ask for much. If the balls that hit the post had more luck it would be a different conversation. I’m glad that they tried.
This is such a one sided analysis. City also hit the post and gifted a goal.
This! Exactly this. I was pissed and disappointed after Bournemouth. But I’m in love all over again after this game. Please play like this. With fir and purpose every game. Not that shit you pulled at Bournemouth. It’s not over until it is. COYG!!!
we kept our in-form top striker 80min on the bench, if u are fine with that enjoy more sold games cya next year.
I feel like I’ve been shot, but this performance has got me feeling optimistic. We could’ve rolled over but we really went for it and could’ve had 3 goals on another day. We’ll win the league.
bournemouth is were we lost the league
There were moments of progress but the majority of the game was the same old same old. Couldn’t win the second balls. Man City did whatever they wanted. Not to mention they had a chance or two early that we were very lucky to get away with

@ManCity We can't win the championship with Donnarumma. Our glorious Manchester can't win the championship with these goalkeepers. Bring back Ederson, at least he used to make assists 👍

Why did Arteta not bring on Dowman. What's the point of bringing on Ben White when you need a goal
