PL: Manchester City vs Arsenal, February 3rd, 16:30 Sky Sports

Very solid first half, but that second was worse than the first was good.

Meh.

 

[Makingtrax]

We haven't looked any better since Wenger days

That’s because we’re still spending the same

 

[lamby22]

Let's hope we never see Lichtsteiner in an Arsenal shirt ever again.

 

[Manberg]

We look like how a bottom table team would look against us.
No surprise, City's quality is many levels above.
**** club though, Sheikh FC is all they will ever be.

 

[Vinci]

Not too disheartened.

Think the tactics were okay, some of the players just aren't good enough.

 

[Rimaal]

United in is 5th place with what... a 10 or 12 point turnaround against us? That is fecking tragic.

 

[Rex Stone]

Some of the posting on here is poverty, feel like people can’t wait for us to lose to get the knives in.

Yes the second half was disappointing but we played well today I though, give Emery a couple of transfer windows and who knows.

 

[BobP]

Emery out if he even entertains the thought of signing that fraud Suarez.

 

[gunner4lyfe]

We did our part in trying to stop Liverpool. Now lets handle or business and scrape that top 4 spot.

 

[Giroud12]

Can´t understand those saying that Guendouzi is not ready for these games and that he only plays because he´s Emerys guy. Massive performance today. We should build our team around him and Torreira.

 

[Ashybashy86]

Laca worked his ass off.
Leno was very good.
Nacho had a solid game.

We are getting what we deserved.
We went there and played like a relegation team, scared to death of them.

It's actually embarrassing. The set up was all kinds of wrong. We can't defend even with 5 at the back, then can't move the ball quickly enough to even counterattack.

 

[MaraDon]

Guendouzi? The problem was Iwobi and Kolasinac did nothing in attack, should've been replaced earlier.

The problem was pretending that we dont have a 300 million pounds attack.

 

[Lady_Gooner]

Another season of just wanting the football to end. What’s the point.
Guendouzi is fabulous though

 

[Beksl]

He's not better than Özil on this showing, that should be enough.

Did you really expect he’ll hit the ground running coming on in the 2nd half against City while we were completly disjointed and being here for a couple of days?

 

[m-due]

The 6th spot looks about right for Arsenal.

 

[squallman]

City's all bench players except GK would be starters at Arsenal. City have no injuries, we have plenty. Logical result. If somebody is suprised by this, you're laying to yourself.

Is the team that we played worse than Newcastle? Worse teams than us have gotten results against City.

Yet all I hear are excuses.

 

[Gooner_girl14]

Spineless second half. Think conceding right before the break killed us and Unai couldn't motivate the team. Team selection was suspect, how Iwobi is preferred to Özil (or Ramsey) is beyond me. Lich and Iwobi were horrible together and Laca/Auba barely touched the ball. No attempts in the 2nd half speaks volumes and now we're 6th.

 

[Sniper Mik]

Best news from that game was Mustafi getting injured.

Apples and oranges. City are a different animal at home. They were on it from first whistle because of what happened last week.

 

[El Duderino]

Guendouzi? The problem was Iwobi and Kolasinac did nothing in attack, should've been replaced earlier.

I love him, but can we really (or should we really) put that pressure and expectation on him?

Agreed that wingers (or lack there off) played a big part.

Took to long with the subs, too.

Wasn't expecting much from this, Tbf, but think Emery lost the chance of maybe getting a draw today by doind a Wenger and not being more proactive with his subs.
