[@kdots96]

We were winning 2-1 with 10 men, what does he mean if we’re happy with 1 point. We was defending because we wanted to win all 3 points

[@PeterBraggs-vy4uc]

Arsenal second goal was a gift!!! lol but y’all should enjoy

[@Dercudez]

City players expected Arsenal to go toe to toe while it was 11v10?

[@felipejorquerauribe2552]

12v10 bro 😂

[@imadmrsports]

They couldn't go toe to toe even they were 11v11

Are these reporters City fans?

[@BeanieDoggerson]

Refs, PGMOL are all city fans, why not the reporters as well

[@sherlockhamongus]

No, they're money fans, and City pay well

[@pratikshah7306]

Says they wanted 3 points when their whole team celebrates the equaliser against 10 men. No class. Edit: For someone good at maths Akanji doesn't seem to grasp that it's impossible to have 11 men defending the box when there are only 10 men on the pitch.

[@Dave2024uk]

I don't understand why city players are talking about all nonsense 😂 They play with 10 players

[@TD-ms7lj]

Finally we are getting under their skin. Those years of “Arsenal are a nice team we love them” were some of the darkest years in our history.

[@AGE_97]

Served you right. Another 10 years loading.

[@LeroyChipunga]

So getting under city's skin is an achievement for you lol...small club mentality

[@Shazaado]

@@LeroyChipunga heee buddy if you’re a city fan u can not be talking bout small club mentality lol

[@findingaether]

Love it though. These two teams genuinely despise and disgust each other for whatever reason and it's great for everyone else watching. Proper title race.

[@Patricia-xz1vz]

@@LeroyChipungalol you’re a city fan, it doesn’t get smaller than that. 😂

[@StevenWebster_]

Man City are so rattled after this

[@i_am_Wil]

How can we be looking for a point and be 2 1 up for more than 60 minutes

[@denzelrobert]

Arsenal looking for Drama?, In the First minute of the game Rodri ran into Kai Harvetz and dropped like a fly inorder to book Kai Harvetz.

[@mashedikholofelo8493]

Havertz ran into Rodri, don't just give a comment when you don't have to.

[@denzelrobert]

@mashedikholofelo8493 why lying?, You could clearly see Rodri running TOWARDS HARVETZ. The ball was literally behind Rodri are you high

[@PeepsWaxPacks]

You must not be able to see too good 🤣

[@yeonlee5]

Bruv havertz ran into rodri. We all saw it​@@denzelrobert

[@lnspectormukfai8291]

So Akanji expected the referee to control the game in which way after he had assisted them by sending off Trossard?

[@PeepsWaxPacks]

It all started with Havertz cheap shot in the first 5 seconds. He was lucky the ref missed that one.

[@thatotherguy4528]

@@PeepsWaxPacksthey didn’t miss a thing VAR said it was shoulder to shoulder

[@dominicndungu1311]

Finally we are thorn in their flesh. They have known the metal in our team. We need a rematch. Go sleep Akanji you.have nothing useful to say. Tell Halaand next time he must be brave lest we will send him packing. Vamooooooooozzzzz Gunners. Viva viva

[@ritchieajang8042]

He celebrate when trossard get a red..n celebrates draw at etihad againts 10 men

[@RitchyEvan]

11 players in their box… Arsenal were top in the first half and weren’t defending…. They parked the bus because of city’s 12th man dishing out the red card to favor them.. And again, they weren’t defending to secure a point, they were defending to win all 3pts, fool… They go down to 10 Men and you expect them to come out and play toe to toe.?? Rubbish

[@on-earthh]

Top in the first half lol

[@jesseladue3592]

Let’s just ignore the fact that you were gifted a goal in the first half by cities “12th” man lol

[@blazingpan7461]

Shows citys class

[@blazingpan7461]

@@jesseladue3592 does kyle not have feet, can he not run. Saka ran to his position why is it only Kyle complaining

[@caleb0388]

​@@jesseladue3592 well Kyle was next to the centre back when the free kick was taken. Maybe you guys wanted the ref to let him stand right next to Martinelli when the free kick was taken. He should just shut up and realize he wasn't aware of the situation. Very fair goal

[@yokermn]

Who’s the happier team to get a point??? This clown was no shame!

[@JohnGear-on1bj]

Man city obviously they still 2 points up arsenal needed the win badly

[@CMZ007]

Bald faced cheek to talk about diving with the antics of Bernardo, Rodri, Savinho and Doku!

[@1SUPR3M3]

Arsenal played that way because they wanted to win, not draw. The Arsenal players were gutted after the equaliser because they wanted to win. Why are they saying we played like that because we are happy with the draw? if anything, it was City celebrating the draw, not Arsenal.

[@James-st9uu]

Whinge city. 11 players inside there own box. Did he miss the red card then 😂

[@IbbyB.]

I'm sorry we didn't play like YOU wanted us to.

[@Tariq-jn8ff]

The reporter did a good job of trying to create narratives... We were 2-1 up with 11 men. We came to win until City woke up their 12th player. The fact is that you know have a proper rival who is not going to bend over or open their legs. We are hungry and want to win. Walker got back into position for the first goal and then he got left for dead on the second goal.

[@imadmrsports]

The 12th player helped arsenal in 2 goals stop coping 😂

[@Tariq-jn8ff]

@@imadmrsports walk was back in position in fact he was ahead of Martinelli. Did the ref assist the Gabriel or was it walker who wasn't switched on? Please use your brain instead of trolling.

[@aguywithaview]

Akanji is a fantacist. Arsenal only played an ultra defensive game when the ref decided to give City a helping hand. Arsenal weren't hanging on for a point, Arsenal we're leading. Arsenal have played City, Villa and Spurs away and got 7 points. City are frustrated because they luckily managed a draw. Only one team was trying to win and it wasn't City, who celebrated a draw. Bad tempered, arrogant and still trying to bully the only team they can't bully. SAD!☹️

[@dvno]

This interviewer’s insinuations are so obviously biased

[@randyb59]

City players and fans are rattled. Arsenal battered city in the first half and were up two-one before their referee intervened

[@lukeambwaya7812]

Which drama this man and why did haaland after they scored the equalizer hit Gabrielle Marghaels head with the ball on the head and why was he not punished and again previously he escape unpunished after dashing Thomas party down.

[@EzeugwuChibuike-z1x]

No they are happy they got a point but had to pretend they’re upset

[@richardsowards6020]

If you’re going to ask questions to players, make sure you’re being objective. It’s native, and stupid to suggest that even with the lead, this 10 man Arsenal side is going to come out and play regularly against this City side for 45+ min. It’s called tactics, not parking the bus. Rodri just started getting yellows last year for holding up play with soft fouls during break aways. Arteta’s got to stress that the players got give the refs an opportunity to call a second yellow, and the Webb should be stressing consistency.

[@the_massive]

Manchester city did the best a last minute goal was painful to them that was a sturninf goal. Thanks stones

[@Yo-oq9gg]

The ref would of continued the game until city scored, ref paid by oil money it’s never been clearer

4 secs .. Rodri shown how to do Drama 😅

[@Burtukan-ld4lv]

Why he keeps saying 11 players in the box lol They didn't have 11 players on the pitch my boi😂

[@blazingpan7461]

"They were happy with one point" is he blind or did he not see his own players, even Haland City was SAVED by the referee and its not the first time. Sure the red card was valid but Arsenal are still unbeaten. What dark arts, Doku and Bernando did the same thing. Jesus was almost forced to play without his SHOE, who is the dark arts favoring. What arsenal players cant get cramps as well, then what about rodris injury.

[@MK-nk4bm]

115 is coming !

[@zattanna74]

all the city players complaining, its like they are rattled, like it what now 4 games they have no beaten arsenal or rolled them over like they used too, before it was easy and they enjoyed it and now they are failing to win vs them and start crying. like why teams think they should try and play football and match city toe for toe is beyond me its exactly what they want, just shut up shop and wait for your moments since they will give you chances

[@mrwoody1]

No no You are happy with the point

[@noyaltom6032]

Leading before the red card and all the footballing world want to say arsenal came for a draw. How do they expect to play against a Guardiola team with 10 men

[@eSPARX1]

Funny I saw the city players celebrating like kids for the that "point", welp let's see how they do without Rodri.
