That is pretty harsh. He is just back from injury. He needs time to get back to game speed

Maybe. I just find it very frustrating that this happens all the time with Aguero. You look at players like Silva. They come back and they are the same player, yet Aguero always takes months, and I mean months to get back to his game. He didn't look fit. Just sounding off. Best ignored.

got what we deserved...nothing!

individual and whole team were awful defensively again

having company back will sort some of that but not enough.......

these players don't want to play for this manager any more and it shows and the man himself doesn't seem bothered anymore

Agreed Peelegrini Time is up

We need 2 centre halves and when they are fit keep fucking playing them. How many times has Otemendi and Mangala played together? Oh and Silva Yaya and Aguero were anonymous (Yaya had a great last 14 mins). MOTM for me Kolorov

What did Kolarov do other than pass it back?
 
5 defeats already, Leicester have just 1.
This is despite 100m plus summer uplift.
It's looking like just trying to make top4 never mind winning the league.

Simply disgusted, Van Gaal is shite but were not much better.
 
brilliant goal from yaya and led the hunt to try and get something out of this match, unfortunately his lethargy in the middle of the park allowing arsenal to run though us and was the main reason our defence gets swamped and leaks chances.
 
I honestly thought we were the better team in the first half and miles the better team in the last 15 minutes, just they took their first two chances then sat back and hit us on the break and got lucky that the referee was on the take. If Kev sticks that first one away when we were completely nullifying them, or Mangala doesn't give it away before half time, or Hart saves the pretty routine shot then it's a completely different game. If we get the stonewall penalty on Sterling as well, which I still have no idea how the bent ref can justify not giving.

Our organisation was fine until half time, but the classic mistake of leaving Yaya in a two left us all over the place and pretty easy to play against, but even then we should have got a point if the referee does his job.

Manager takes the fault. Playing Yaya in a 2 man midfield away at one of the top teams again is unforgivable. We actually played OK, and were "unlucky" to get nothing, but that "bad luck" comes from Yaya in a 2 man not bothering to mark Ozil, their best player, their form player, their only creative player.. Totally ludicrous. Yaya has to take some blame, but we know for a fact he won't do that job even if asked to, so why put him in that position?

They were crap, we could have won this if we were set up correctly, that's what was painful today, not the performance.

Come on fella get real...unlucky? Arsenal could have made it 3-4 easily if they had been on point.

It was men against boys tonight, and that comes from a stokie who hates arsenal ever since the shawcross debacle of 2009.

Fuckin gutted, just fuckin gutted!

We showed a lot more heart and desire than we have for a long while and up to 1-0 we were still in the match and largely in control and just needed to get through to half time, but then Mangala played the most stupid aimless ball which left us exposed therefore giving us a mountain to climb against Arsenal away when they scored a late second.

As the second half wore on we just became more and more ragged trying to chase the game putting us in danger of conceding a goal on the counter. We finally did get the goal our ragged efforts deserved and what a move and goal it was in the end by Toure. Arsenal retreated into their defensive shell, but we just seemed to go from brilliant to shit back to brilliant then back to shit again in the space of a few passes.

I know there are bound to be recriminations but underneath the defeat I saw glimpses of hope. Sterling & Navas looked up for it when they came on but the we just looked short on that touch of quality needed to unlock Arsenal in and around the box which sounds silly when you have Aguero, Silva, KDB, Toure and Sterling to call on. As for Manuel, he looked like a man under severe pressure and after Pep confirming his exit from Bayern, who could blame him.

Blame Delph as it was his stupid Fucking needless ball back when he had Fern in acres of space 5 yards away from him but felt he need to play a CB into trouble with 2 attackers round him.

The sad thing is that after we spent +120 Million Pound, we are just 3 points ahead of Crystal Palace and 6 points behind Leicester.

You need to go fuck off back to whoever you supported before. What has what we've spent got to do with supporting your team?.. I know the red press love the gazillions quotes but for a supposed City fan to quote shit like this is indefensible. The team played well, 69 percent possession and got beat by a wonder strike. Get real. I hate this forum as its literally turned into ragsville with posters thinking that we're entitled to win everything at a cantor. Football isn't like that and City certainly aren't either.
 
Just got back to Euston. Thougly we started well andone had a good shape and kept the ball well.
You could almost see the confidence drain after that goal but we were still very much in the game until a total lack of discipline cost us seconds to go till half time get in 1 down and regroup but no we play a sloppy ball then they walk through our defence and through harts legs to virtually kill the game.
Thought Delph was one of our better players so surprised he came off but second half we were all over the place, no drive, no passion, no idea and far too pedestrian.
We got back into it with a goal out of nothing and then finally started to look threatning. Got to ask questions why we waited till 5 minutes to go to have a go.
So our horrendous away record goes on. Certainly not out of the league but we need a massive change in our workrate/gameplan to have a chance.
We complain we were tired too many games but that's our first in 9 days and we were way off the pace at times

They were shite.

Mariner the corrupt prick and brain dead mongo cost us.

If that was all we have to worry about then bring it on.

I actually felt pride in tonight for our drive and fight.

Systematic of this league this year, best team doesn't always win.

It ain't over yet.

Come on C
