Arsenal v City Pre Match Discussion Thread

We shouldn't be missing one of our best players for fixtures like this, because there is an international tournament getting under way in a weeks time.

Its not exactly crept up on us..........
We knew the score and should have adequately compensated for it.

That wasn't the point I was making.

No Mario again, how the hell is he supposed to prove his doubters wrong, from the bench all the time, there is a lack of pace in that team, and he would give us that option, playing on the break.

He's on the bench for a reason. Mainly he's a striker who doesn't score.

I think with expectation/optimism low this game points towards a messy game with Garcia heading in a winner. Don't rate him but think this game has that Garcia 'vibe'.

"The Garcia Vibe".

I like that.

that phrase alone has given me hope :)

Just start winning and we can do it.

We've won 5 out of the last 6 since the derby.

I feel like Garcia will show up to play today and prove a lot of doubters wrong.

Once again what strikes me is how unbalanced our squad is. Just one top quality creative player available. Sinclair who Mancini doesn't rate and Suarez who is still a kid as our only alternatives to Silva with Nasri out. United had Kagawa, Young, and Valencia as established creative outlets today so when Young got injured Valencia could step right in. Just highlights our summer blunders IMO.

We did, we went out and bolstered our midfield with Rodwell and Garcia....!

Oh yeah.

Bolstered?? Not excactly the first word that springs to mind......

little ray of sunshine aren't you

People are desperate to decide the title long before it's done, it's ridiculous really. This isn't a title decider, there's still like 18 games left.

Even if we fall 10 points behind, it's not over. Just think about how written off we were last year, this would be nothing compared to that. Just start winning and we can do it.

It's not ridiculous though mate,it's not an impossible gap but based on their form and ours up to now its as good as done if we don't win.

Garcia must perform today
