    I haven't seen this level of pressing from Arsenal in a long time. The worry would be that they might fade after 65-70 minutes if they keep it up.

    Was just thinking that this is the most positive I've seen them play in ages.. great start for them so far but I have a feeling that as it goes on, City will get back into it.

    They need a goal asap to make the most of this pressure

    Really think ozil should be our dead ball man


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,625 ✭✭✭✭Johner


    Lol Lampard.

    Ah Ramsey what was that?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,710 ✭✭✭✭Paully D


    Sanchez is doing so much more defensive work than I ever thought he would.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51,342 ✭✭✭✭That_Guy


    Ah Jaysus Navas.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,428 ✭✭✭.jacksparrow.


    Ramsey has been poor like very poor since the start of the season, needs to do the simple things right.

    What did I miss?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,817 ✭✭✭marvin80


    A lot of cynical fouling by City, nice too see them being booked for it anyway


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31,949 ✭✭✭✭Mars Bar


    What was that from Ramsey?!

    Awful defending.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,623 ✭✭✭double GG


    Woeful defending


  • Administrators, Computer Games Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 32,408 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭Mickeroo


    Ugh. Can't write off a team with him up front.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,483 ✭✭✭brianregan09


    Jammy bastards.....just when i was thinking we were on top


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 52,408 ✭✭✭✭tayto lover


    Of course it's our left side again :mad:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,651 ✭✭✭stiffler123


    Aguero! Lovely stuff from Navas.

    Not really that lucky, is this not exactly how City setup to play today...on the counter?

    Very bad defending but you're right, he's a quality striker, give him a chance and he'll take it, unfortunately


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31,949 ✭✭✭✭Mars Bar


    Completely against the run of play

    Talk about a sucker punch.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 978 ✭✭✭Fudge You


    Excellent from Jaysus.
    He's a flyer!!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,651 ✭✭✭stiffler123


    Just need to cut out the silly fouls now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51,342 ✭✭✭✭That_Guy


    Monreal and Ozil.... A dream team left side.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,382 ✭✭✭✭greendom

    All their attacks seem to stem from lucky deflections

    Why were the Arsenal defenders stepping up when the ball was further than them. They gave Aguero the advantage!


  • Posts: 25,611 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Of course it's our left side again :mad:

    Don't think that had too much to do with it, ball was lost in central midfield and there was no-one covering the middle when the cross came in.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,775 ✭✭✭✭Gbear


    Given City's midfield today I think this is Arsenal's best chance (on paper at any rate) at getting points from games against the top 4 or 5.

    It's a testament to the other parts of the squad how well Arsenal generally play but you can't keep playing with a hamstrung midfield and expect to win.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,623 ✭✭✭double GG


    City turning the screw a little now


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 42,606 Mod ✭✭✭✭Lord TSC


    Got up to answer the front door and came back to City winning. WTF happened?!?!


  • Posts: 25,611 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Alexis looks exciting when he get the ball. Has Danny done anything worthwhile?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,855 ✭✭✭The Wild Bunch


    If Jack Wheelchair wasn't English he'd be in the LOI

    The first duty of a defender is to defend.

    Hit the post with a lovely dink over Hart. Very unlucky not to score.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,623 ✭✭✭double GG


    Nice little kick out from Jack


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,205 ✭✭✭Gringo180


    I no were 1 down but alot of positives so far. Wilshere and Sanchez have been outstanding. We need Ramsey to step it up a bit tho.


  • Posts: 25,611 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Not sure if Welbeck has touched the ball since I switched on.

    Ya think? Just watching the last 15 minutes and it's the usual, we're static, City look comfortable and they took their chance.

    Had a bright first 15 minutes, been very quiet since.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,382 ✭✭✭✭greendom


    How many fouls by City ?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,428 ✭✭✭.jacksparrow.


    Navas should be booked by now.

    Any opportunity to moan, you take it. We started off brilliantly but of course you didn't see that.
