Arsenal Vs City Pre Match Thread

Happy with the team. Yaya needs to be ready for Bayern and Chelsea. Hopefully the break does him some good. I would have loved to see Mangala partner Vinny, but I guess we'll have to wait until we play Sheff. Wed.

Felt negative about this one all week, hope I'm wrong but I'd be happy with a draw here

would have preferred 4-3-3 not to get overrun. lets see how it pans out, we need to keep possession like normally if we just defend its soon one way traffic and goal is question of time then.

It may well be a 4-3-3 going forward. I think David will play more like a midfielder rather than a second striker. Milner and Navas to provide width.

Just seen its Clattenburg.
Oh well

Yep Wellshit goal and a sending off written all over for typical City. Thank God we're not that side anymore..............

We can't complain not seeing the same team on paper every week, its obviously a tactical line up best suited to pick up points in todays game, got to trust the managers got this one right.

I think it speaks volumes about where his head is at. A fully committed, keen player would be busting a gut to start in a game like this, surely?

Same Arsenal team that struggled to beat a managerless Palace on opening day?

Same Arsenal team that conceded two against an Everton team who then shipped six against Chelsea.

Arsenal have some top players but let's not turn them into something they are not?

Perhaps it's best not to play yaya 3 times in a week, in which case this is the best game for him to miss, stops him breaking his neck to get back here to prepare

Where is Jovetic?? Surely not injured?
