And for Arsenal to approach the game like that, honestly, I thought it was, and it made for a terrible spectacle.
But I could not believe they looked to me like a team that were in the bottom three trying to defend against a team that were top of the league and the best team in the country.
I'm sorry.
The Keepers are smokescreen for me.
That performance, that approach to a cup final when you're the favourites and you have that talent level was an absolute disgrace.
It's kind of worrying how flat they were after that initial...
from the kick-off.
Yeah, that's going to be my question.
First 10 minutes, you thought there was only one team in this.
So what changed?
Well, City settled down.
City hadn't exactly been at their best either.
So, yeah, Arsenal started better.
But then City settled down after about, what, 25 minutes?
And then after that, Arsenal weren't in it.
And you have to be worried if you're Arsenal.
I mean, to be so flat... The biggest thing for me is, you're in a cup final...
It's the second half, you're behind.
