58 min: Double substitution for Medina Kyle Walker and Julian Alvarez replaced Rico Luis and Riyad Mahrez.
55 minutes It’s okay for Turner to carry on and make an important save from De Bruyne’s sliding cross. Haaland was waiting behind him to score.
City is starting to look better in attack.
54 minutes the Arsenal Goalkeeper Matt Turner injured his left shoulder and is receiving treatment.
52 minutes Mahrez cut a nice pass to Luis, and ran into space on the right side of the area. He tries to hook the ball into the goal from a narrow angle, but he locks it into the side netting.
51 minutes A promising city break. De Bruyne plays a cross to Haaland, who is cornered by Tomiyasu and Saliba in the area. He sends Tomiyasu flying with a charge over his shoulder but Saliba eliminates the menace.
50 minutes “I really should have known that Richard Rodgers wrote the music for both of them blue moon And you’ll never walk alone, Which got me thinking if other clubs might use some of his tunes as well,” says Gary Naylor. “So far, only Sean Dyke has been asked how many signings he needs before Monday night and he replied, “Sixteen going into seventeen. “
49 minutes The second half started as the first ended, which is not a compliment. Atmosphere So flat.
47 minutes “I saw REM around 86-87 in a gymnasium at UBC,” says Alan Castle. If I remember rightly the opening chapter was The Guadalcanal Diaries. Anyway, good show, but my main memory was Michael Stipe who went on for several minutes between song in his diatribe about human rights in Central America.
When he finished, there were some scattered applause, then silence, followed by the tall guy standing next to me on the floor yelling, “Rock and roll!” — a command, not a comment. Welcome to BC.”
46 minutes Peep peep! Erling Haaland starts the second half.
Mikel Arteta made two substitutions at half-time Albert Sambi Lokonga and William Saliba play Thomas Partey and Rob Holding. No word yet on whether Partey has suffered an injury.

First half: Manchester City 0-0 Arsenal
This is the end of a first half that felt oddly sleepy at times, especially when City had the ball. I struggle to understand it all.
you have changed a lot Arsenal I had better chances, Stefan Ortega making good saves from a lively Leandro Trossard and Eddie Nketiah. Kevin De Bruyne almost scored for City, but there was no rhythm to play and Erling Haaland spent most of the half wrestling with Rob Holding.
45 + 4 min In fact, Laporte just came to the field, because he was not ready when Stones limped off.
45 + 3 min: switch cities Aymeric Laporte replaces the unlucky John Stones.
45 + 2 minutes “These are the two best teams in England, Rob?” Simon McMahon sniffed. “I switched to Cove Rangers v Ayr United on BBC Scotland. I’m still watching MBM of course, while listening to the doc.”
45 + 1 min Two minutes of extra time. John Stones has what appears to be a hamstring problem. That’s a bad blow for City – they have a lot of central defence, but it’s arguably the best of the last 18 months.
45 minutes “Man City plays like meeting Pep before a game,” says Jeff Sachs.
They are not right at the moment, are they?
43 minutes “This is a great picture of Hulk holding sweat in close combat with Haaland’s Macho Man Savage,” says Peter Oh. “Do you have one of Roddy’s, Roddy Piper?”
Hulk Holdings is a keeper.
42 minutes His number 48 shirt was contracted to Haaland, who was storming into space.
39 minutes Ortega walks away with a little nervousness in goal. He reached the edge of his area to meet a bizarre backpass from Mahrez, smashed the ball into the face of Stones, then cleared Nketiah in the follow-up.
38 minutes: Haaland’s chance! Tierney, in the center circle, clears the ball towards his own goal. The latest Gabriel to have a few yards in Haaland, who shows fearsome speed to get to the ball first on the edge of the area. He throws it over Turner and a few yards off the right post. After he got to the ball, he probably should have done a better job.
37 minutes Based on your MBM so far (watching this match in the US requires a $100 yearly subscription, sorry for the World’s Biggest Domestic Cup but it’s not worth it!) Alex Whitney said, “Is it fair to say there’s a huge score Whose nominal imperative applies to the behavior of Arsenal’s fourth-back position? “
Heh, actually, though I have to stress it was a 50/50 wrestling match.
36 minutes Grealish swaggers away from Tomiyasu, but his wide pass towards Haaland is well read by Holding.
34 minutes “Greetings, Rob, from sunny, cool Northern California,” says Mary Waltz. “I saw REM at the Forum in Los Angeles at the Green Round. Great performance, they put on a show that filled the entire arena. Quite the opposite of Everton’s dumpster fire. Nothing in the transfer window so far has eased my fear of relegation. Daichi is a nice guy but his appointment is kind of damp sarcasm. sigh.”
I know it’s not as exciting as Bielsa, but I think he’s quite fit. And if he can’t sort out this mess, you really are in trouble.
33 minutes: Chance for the point! Arsenal is the best team at the moment. Trossard sprints down left and throws a cross to near center, where Nketiah runs through Akanji but blasts wide from six yards. He came quickly and a bit awkwardly high, but he’s good enough to take such chances.
32 minutes “I’m old enough to remember The origins of the phrase “What’s the frequency, Kenneth?” It dates back to 1986James writes. “I wonder if anyone else does…”
Kreeki, I’ve never heard that before. Who knows? Obviously you.
31 minutes Haaland passed a concussion test and will continue.
30 minutes Now Haaland is settled holding the back of his head, which has been introduced to one of the small pieces of Rob Holding’s right arm. I think he would have been booked had the referee seen him.
29 minutes Bob Best wrote: “The best soundtrack to a sporting event is playing The Who’s ‘I Can See for Miles’ when the first downhill skier leaves the starting house at Kitzbuhel Hahnenkahm”. “He’s been over 100km/h in a matter of seconds and he’s holding on for dear life. He’s holding his breath and hitting the head at the same time.”
And that’s not healthy, is it?
28 minutes Holland and Haaland spent most of the first half reenacting WrestleMania IV. So far, the holding is winning.

27 minutes After a cautious start, the game really came to life.
25 minutes: away from De Bruyne! This is very much like from City. De Bruyne cuts in from the inside from the right, 25 yards from goal, and forms a delicious left-footed curler that lights just wide of the far post. Turner wasn’t going to save him.
23 minutes “A completely different mood, but here’s my favorite version of Blue Moon, by the Canadian Cowboy Junkies,” says Liz White. “They also do a very moody cover for Sweet Jane.”
21 min: Very good save by Ortega! Saka and Vieira smoothly moved the ball across the field to leave Trossard one-on-one with Louis on the left side of the area. He beat Luis with a very simple step and hit a left footed shot across the goal which was defeated by the flying Ortega. This is a much better save than the first.
