Better in the second half.
Still not at our best but there are glimpses every now and then.
Can we stop this camping in our own half when we go in front, we’re crap at it : )

Last time I checked, we won. And kept a clean sheet.

Consider the reverse result
Massive psychological advantage to arteta and his side , they haven't got the resources or the squad to match city but what a result with a team made.up of fringe players , bodes well for the title run in

Lewis great at tucking in and being the extra man in midfield but against Martinelli in the league I hope we go with Walker

He’s paid to entertain. I thought he was balanced until he said ‘we’, which seeing as he played for them is fair enough

I thought Dixon was OK too.

Twatterface on the other hand, how fucking biased was he? His usual dreadful self. Second only on my list of most despised commentators.

As to the game, I thought we were second best in the first half, but were much better after the break and, in the end, deserved the victory.

Dave, Jack, Nathan and Stefan all excellent.

Not pretty but job done. Great result

He said he commentary he use to be a support City

I thinks he supports us behind Arsenal which you can understand

Very shaky start . We looked a lot better balanced when Stones and Lewis went off. Ake and Akanji sewed up the left . Ake is tons better in a back 4 instead of a 3.. Worrying that our right was exposed as Martinelli and Tressegard got in behind us. The midfield ain't working though until Alvarez and Bernie introduced energy.

Ortega is much more aware as a keeper but Eddy fits into our style of play better
Take your choice

Man City 1-0 Arsenal
I don't think Arsenal fans will lose too much sleep about this. Their focus is on the Premier League where they sit five points above City.
A late goal would probably have created a replay they didn't really need.
And this wasn't their first-choice XI.

Fuck off you red wankers.

So the narrative is Arsenal are not at full strength

I don’t think anyone can really say that is us at full strength either. We still basically have a makeshift defence , Not helped by stones going off

Then the likes of Foden missing who many tout as one of our most talented players generally

 

[Gaz in Zurich]

He can Fook off with that attitude that’s for sure.

Just passionate which is what you want in a player
