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.

1
People like to say why are we settling for 1-0 why dont we push for 2 and Arteta is literally saying here you never know with a 1 goal lead so its not for lack of trying we just need to get our players clicking better. If Saka can find Gyokorez more often this attack can be deadly.

Captivating Talking Points
In what way? The starting XI passed with purpose, they worked angles brilliantly, they constantly switched play, played it long, played it over the top, they found good angles. Havertz is not sharp in the box yet but he looks much better. They worked to create multiple chances inside the box, scored a corner, Trossard nearly scored a rocket, Havertz should've scored.

Eze and Havertz played like it's a friendly. So fucking low energy. And yes I know Havertz scored but in both cases they are just jogging around. Gyokeres made a HUGE difference up front.
We didn’t have a single shot on target until the goal. We barley have control of the game with constant misplaced passes.
Considering majority of the fans in the stadium share a mutual feeling, I think you’re just being disingenuous here matey.

The memories of these ex-footballers is so biased and inaccurate. I remember many seasons Utd would just scrape 1-0 win after 1-0 win under Ferguson. Neville was still around at that time. Incredible how they conveniently forget all this when they become the critiques of TV and it gives them a chance to laud their history over the present day. It's frankly nauseating.

Basically yes. Even in other subreddits there is incredible headloss in match threads unless teams are winning by 2 or 3 after 20 minutes

Wrong Rayan. This Rayan plays for Bournemouth but originally played for the team I grew up watching in Brasil, Vasco da Gama. Was hoping we’d sign him but he went to Bournemouth this January.
What the fuck did Odegaard do wrong lmao? Our best player on the field you fucking melt
To be fair, that was a blatant red. It would be wrong for a commentator not to suggest that
As an Arsenal fan. I just gotta say that Kai Havertz is wrong for that challenge not only for the Burnley player but for his teammates. He knows exactly what’s at stake and he does that. Yes he scored the goal and full credit for that but wow is he lucky and the funniest thing about it all is that you rival fans reading this actually think us Arsen…
neville not wrong at all thats such a poor challenge from havertz dude what is he thinking.
Two players looking at the ball in the distance collide..Neville "Hincapie looks like he just moves his right arm towards him"
Definitely not a red - literally no force or momentum and his leg almost looks like it gets tangled behind as he was going for the ball but half-heartedly pulled out. The Doku challenge on MacAllister was far worse and wasnt even recognised as a foul. Laughable from Carragher who hates Arsenal. I didnt see anyone talking about a red card when Berna…
◆ Algo-Amplified — Boosted Without Substance
I live in Portsmouth, if Bournemouth win tomorrow, I'm running there in my undercrackers
Keown on sky after the match: “Never knew there were so many City fans in the production”. That tells you enough about the pathetic English media
Fuck Gary Neville as a pundit. It’s unbearable at times. I know we always say it, but this guy literally just sits there and either talks us down, spins every little thing to reflect badly on us, or straight up verbalises his wet dreams about us losing to a “Kyle Walker thunderbolt” while commentating.
Why the fuck has sky sports pulled our captain from the dressing room for a half time interview to answer garbage questions.
I swear man, the "Americanisation" of UK football is going to kill this beautiful game
Thought it was just on the US broadcast. Such a tough listen. Top of the league and it is all in our hands. Put some respect on it.
This match shouldn’t have been a 1-0 hold on to win.
I don’t know what the fuck was wrong with the guys today but they need to get out of their head and just play football
Take the 3 points and run but damnit need to be better Sunday
Don’t disagree, when it went to VAR and I saw the replay I thought it was a definite red but then again I watched little Bernardo Silva avoid two red cards against Brentford so it evens out.
I mean Burnley had 0 shots on target so not sure how close it actually was.
Highlight of the game for me was Hincapies whole ass on display and then a full replay of said Ass.
Doesn’t actually matter how many City put past Villa. GD is off the table.
If we draw Palace, City just needs 1-0 victories over Bournemouth and Villa to beat us on GD
◆ Broke Through — Quality That Beat the Algorithm
I really like him as a 6.
I would go for Alex Scott in summer who could play left 8
Funny meme but just in case anyone is actually serious this is missing the city 1-0 vs Burnley and our 3-0 vs Fulham
He’s always awful, but h the is game literally every single thing that came out of his mouth was against us. Took a break to give Rice MOTM and then said the rest of them had been poor.
Kai was super lucky, but Neville always makes sure he immediately reacts negatively to every…
What the fuck is wrong with Lee Dixon honestly
Yet another wrong decision that works out in Arsenal's favour, what a surprise. Pretty big pile of those this season...

Fucked that i am actually gonna wake up at 4:30am to watch Bournemouth play tomorrow morning.
better not bottle it on the last game. it will hurt the most.
Rayan is going to WC and is prove why tomorrow
↳
Yeah, he's a real danger man and can definitely help Bournemoth score.
↳
I so hope you’re right my friend
All we need is a draw really.
↳
Goal difference is a bit tight.
↳
Goal difference doesn’t matter if City drop points tomorrow. We’re ahead.
↳
If they win v Bournmouth and we draw v Palace it gets important and unpleasant.
↳
… if Bournemouth get a draw, then the league is over and the final match is meaningless. We win.

They'll still be a strong team but no one talks about Mancini and Pellegrini in the same breath as Pep for a reason.

Those league titles shouldnt count. None of them should
Pre 2016 City, which is still good.

They get £10m to lose. Would be foolish to win
Im taking monday off to drink a bottle of jim b before the game. It should take the edge off
Not the best club to support with hypertension😭
I just won't watch. My heart almost stopped a couple of times tonight. Give Raya and Gabi a raise
Yeh they go into that game at home, with no cares in the world, practicing for a European cup final. It’s gonna be nerves vs confidence
Can't draw now either.
Nothing about this season has been easy... So I'm fully expecting them to bring it to the last day unfortunately
Watch Glasner put out his finals XI like he did the last time. Fucking hell.
↳
Of course, he will to keep them sharp, but he'll probably start taking off important players in the second half.
Same but now imagine being on holiday with your Manchester City supporting father during the final day 😭

"Hincapie cheeks being the highlight of the second half is all you need to know about this game.

it was honeslty pretty relaxed win. they had one break away and that was about it. at no point did burnley create a "chance".
Eze was disappointing. I think we’re all desperate for him to show up when it matters, but he did literally nothing today at best and at worst, was sloppy.
With today’s starting lineup, he’s clearly in there to be the spark, but was really ineffective. Thankfully Ødegaard was playing like a man possessed to somewhat make up for it.
It showed proper bottom to win this game.
> highlight of the second half
That was the Havertz tackle.
Idk how anyone was nervous today. This Burnley team are such garbage, we were never under any threat. 0 shots on target, 0 big chances, 38% possession.
My wife walked in right as that replay happened and saw his cheeks and I promise you she has never been more interested in a soccer game in her life.

Can’t blame her tbh

"i pray bournemouth win or draw tomorrow befause wtf was that performance"
Dirtiest, park the bus draw is all we need.
We created plenty, hit the post and the bar, could've had 2 pens. Just one of those days. What matters is we got it over the line.
↳
We have one of these days too many. There is a mentality issue when we are up 1-0
↳
It's been 22 years.. What mentality are you building off? This isn't some title we can pretend we are real madrid for, we are essentially winning it for the first time. We are not Celtic going through the motions of winning their 103rd title. Just win
I don't get what you are seeing. We were 1-0 up and burnely literally did fuck all lol. They were content just to keep defending while 1-0 down.
↳
Some massive confirmation bias going on in this thread where people really wanted to blame us for not scoring 5 goals. We had one goal, one clear pen not given (if we do that to an opposing striker it's a penalty, touch on the ball or not), multiple balls that hit the bar. I am not worried about this performance at all. Havertz wasn't sharp in front of goal but he needed this match to shake off some rust and he got one in the back of the net.
↳
I agree, the pressure of the moment makes you think it's tighter or harder than it is. In reality you watch that back and realize burnley actually just gave us the 1-0 on a platter. We probably shoulda scored more but it was an easy affair if not for the stakes of the situation.
↳
When we’re only winning 1-0, the risk is huge. What if burnley lucked their way to a goal in the 80’?
We also didn’t attack enough. We had 1.03 xG
I mean we were amazing in the first half. Very different game if we put away our chances
For the sake of our lifespans, I really hope they finish City off tomorrow

If he had been red carded (rightfully) we would have just parked the bus even harder. r/soccer is on pure copium if they think that would have magically turned into dropped points for us.

Turned on the afterburners. With every game he'll get more comfortable with the flow.
His passing is really crisp. What he needs is confidence to play more positive...same thing happened with Hincapie.

Feel like Burnley just agreed they didn’t want to play anymore and we kinda went along with it

Keown on sky after the match: “Never knew there were so many City fans in the production”. That tells you enough about the pathetic English media

I’m no fan of Arsenal, but the people whinging about them winning are like 10x more annoying than Arsenal fans.
God forbid 115 FC don’t win another one.
