Boyata is brutal. Way too easy for Arsenal.

Savage stuff!

Ramsey is a Genius.

Some turnaround, still some hope for Cleverley.

Chambers looking a bit slow for pace there.

Yeah, early days but wouldn't fancy him at RB!

Called it yesterday. No surprise, having watched him on the pre season tour and having seen him play ''in the flesh'' a few times. Painfully out of his depth.

Redzer7

Lads I'm literally getting up off the chair everytime Sanchez gets the ball :pac:

tayto lover

Playing very well.
Happy with Sanchez and Sanogo but a bit worried by Debuchy as he seems to lack pace.

efb

Like who scored in the FA CUP? Wanna score again???

Ya, he was Paul McShane levels of bad against Dundee. Should be nowhere near the first team.

Dapics

Great first half.

Sanchez, Cazorla, Ramsey, Debuchy and Kos have been excellent.

It really can't be a coincidence we look so much more dangerous without Giroud.

FutureGuy

Put 20 on arsenal. Kerching.

blueser

Why are they all sitting in the stand? They needed a run out before we play Newcastle next weekend. Even for 45 minutes. We might still have lost today; fine. It happens. But those lads need to get some game time in their legs. And yes; I'm fully aware that Negredo is injured.

Will I Amnt

Will there be any British players in City's starting 11 if Pelligrini sides with Caballero? Am I missing someone else?

Fuzzy_Dunlop

Alexis really does add an entirely different dimension to what we saw most of last season. His decision making let him down a couple of times but great pass to Sanogo for the second goal and very close to getting through at the end.

How much easier it is to attack with pace.Sanchez is brilliant to watch. That's what we missed so much last season. Also Sanogo proving he will have an important role with the squad this season.

greendom

The first touch by Ramsey to make room for himself was sublime

Redzer7

Giroud on probably for Sanogo, hope it doesn't change the way we counter attack.

omega man

Delighted with the performance but our strength on the bench is also exciting me. Even with the Germans away we still have the likes of Giroud, Ox and Campbell available today. What a welcome change.......(and to think Walcott to come back too).

Mickeroo

Giroud on for 2nd half?

Quazzie

That first touch by Ramsey for his goal is just sublime. He really is a joy to watch.

He has been awful, but it's your midfield that's letting us through every time, and it's not lacking in star men today.

For the first time in a long time not only will we have players battling for a spot in the first 11 but secondary players battling it out to even make it onto the bench.

omega man

Monreal oh dear.....

Pacifico

2 or 3 changes for Arsenal?

Kosc off?

Bawls

Mickeroo

No stream requests folks.

Fuzzy_Dunlop

Nacho and Chambers at CB for the second half and Silva on. Can see City scoring now

Paj

Nacho is not a centre half

shano_88

I really hope Kosc hasn't taken a knock

He is now :pac:

Really wanted to win this, hope those sub's don't come back to haunt us.

I doubt it. Say they're just easing him in

Mickeroo

Who else came on apart from Monreal and Giroud?

cson

If anything, a loss from this position will surely light a fire under arses in terms of getting some defensive bodies in.

Ox

Redzer7

I hate when Monreal plays at all nevermind at CB :-(

Fuzzy_Dunlop

Ramsey is certainly continuing where he left off last year. What a player.

.jacksparrow.

Pretty clear sagna is the better defender.

Can't judge it just on this game in fairness to him.

No Merlin (up until now), no Fernandinho (vital to the team) and no Fernando (both would offer some protection to our weak back 4). Yaya putting in one of his ''can't be arsed'' performances today, and Samir NEVER plays well against Arsenal.

Bobby Baccala

Disappointed campbell won't get to have a run today

I'm judging him on his Newcastle time aswell.

Lot of arsenal fans delighted for sagna to go thinking we would get some nice improvement there.

Certainly not gonna be the case.

Maybe about 3 or 4 years ago Sagna has been a shadow of his former self in recent seasons, had no problem with him leaving.

Whether Debuchy is an upgrade or not time will tell but far to soon to making statements like that.
