Get Bernardo Silva on for Gundogan

Definitely

Pep will have to tweak the tactics defensively as Arsenal have rarely been troubled with the pressing

Strange game so far

 

[Hamann Pineapple]

Why are a lot of the adverts American now ?

 

[tommo74]

Dinho red second half to even it Up? And it will be a nothing challenge

 

[argyle]

Not great. Good finish by Aguero though

 

[Gray]

Dreadful passing by our players, they are better than this.

Gundogan has been shocking.

 

[pudge]

Sane is frustrating me !

If he ain’t fit then get him off

If he is - then tell him to put a fucking shift in

He is fit, otherwise he wouldn't be starting.

Won't stop folk making excuses. Petulant once again.

If Gundogan had a brain he'd be some player.

The ref should have had Wilshere's attempt to get a second yellow for Fernandinho reviewed, he acted as though he was injured when there was no contact... how did he escape a yellow card himself there? Then he did similar 5 mins later.

 

[Neville Kneville]

Gundogan is Arsenal's best player.

Doing a brilliant job of stopping Fernandinho defensively & ruining most of City's moves.

He needs to either show some fucking balls or get the fuck off the pitch.

Arsenal's main tactic is to try & get a City player sent off.

I rate Ilkay but he has been awful in that first 45 minutes. Danilo has not been awful but isn’t offering much.

Vinny has actually been fairly good, Kyle is looking solid (and helpful going forward), and Sane at least looks up for it (if he has made a few bad choices).

I think Ilkay off, Bernardo on at 60 minutes if he doesn’t improve after the restart, dropping Kevin in to midfield where he can influence things a bit more, and consider replacing Danilo with Aleks at 75 if things are still close.

Wilshire needs booking for persistent diving, disgraceful.
