Clumsy challenge

Should be Kompany's middle name.

Deserved lead

18-01-2015 5:25pm

In you get

0-1

HalloweenJack · 18-01-2015 5:25pm

Stream froze right as the peno was given. Was it a good one? Was it even a peno?

gosplan · 18-01-2015 5:26pm

Hmm, well that's a good thing.

Becoming more confidant which is scaring me.

1 nil to the Arsenal.

Kompany get booked?

No booking - I presumed he'd get a yellow for that?

It looked soft-ish, but I can see why it was given. Arsenal have been the better side so far.

adox · 18-01-2015 5:26pm

Heart says yay.
Head says nay.

tayto lover · 18-01-2015 5:26pm

Now hold this lead and concentrate lads.

If it was given against Arsenal I would be annoyed at the defender for the challenge. More ya watch it the less it looks like there's a lot of contact but it was daft by Kompany.

csallmighty · 18-01-2015 5:26pm

Great penalty by Santi. Keep the shape now and don't give away anything.

Seen them not given

Stonewall peno (IMO), Kompany was caught out.

It would have been an easy enough save but the power was enough to get past the keeper.

18-01-2015 5:27pm

Silly from Ramsey there.

Still a bluntness up front with the ball but I'm liking the pressing that's happening.

No one made a decent run for him there tbf...

Corholio · 18-01-2015 5:28pm

It was clumsy by Kompany. If he wanted to get out the way of making the 'bump' he would have. Would say it was a penalty.

Nemeses2050 · 18-01-2015 5:29pm

Ramsey looks rusty

You said it better than I could.

brianregan09 · 18-01-2015 5:31pm

Dare I say it we're playing quite well

Had a couple of chances to play something or shoot. By the time he hit it there'd be 3 better chances to do something, no point playing the pass then.

greendom · 18-01-2015 5:33pm

Giving City very little space up front. Good to see

Kirby · 18-01-2015 5:33pm

Is Martin Tyler trying to inhale his own mic or something? Bloody hell.

It was one of those challenges which is always called as a foul anywhere on the field but that defenders rarely make in the box because of the risk of a penalty. Not deserving of a booking. More stupid and clumsy from Kompany than anything else.

Kirby · 18-01-2015 5:34pm

Lazy and clumsy from Kompany. It was given and rightfully so but the dive from monreal was hilariously bad. Diving classes needed.

TimeToShine · 18-01-2015 5:35pm

Hart is a mistake waiting to happen. Press him and he'll screw up.

tayto lover · 18-01-2015 5:38pm

Jasper Carrott very quick with the yellow cards.

18-01-2015 5:38pm

If arsenal can keep 11 on the pitch I'll be happy

I'd give it 7.5/10 for artistic merit

yipeeeee · 18-01-2015 5:39pm

Do we go for the second or try defend it.

Keep it tight

Gringo180 · 18-01-2015 5:41pm

Girouds movement there is a disgrace. Just walking when we have the ball in the final 3rd. Make a run ffs.

bad2dabone · 18-01-2015 5:41pm

Fell asleep on the couch! Missed the first 40 odd minutes! Come on you gunners!

Will I Amnt · 18-01-2015 5:41pm

The Arsenal team must have had Red Bull on their Weetabix. Never seen them look so busy, it's like a team of Sanchez's... either that or drugs.

greendom · 18-01-2015 5:41pm

Played Olly

Kirby · 18-01-2015 5:42pm

Kompany getting done again.

18-01-2015 5:42pm

Giroud's not been great today so far, slowed down a few counter-attacks.

Skylinehead · 18-01-2015 5:43pm

Kompany playing like Titus Bramble out there.

18-01-2015 5:43pm

Kos or Kompany will be sent off imo

Sugarlumps · 18-01-2015 5:44pm

The two bald lads in City's midfield have been dreadful.

SlickRic · 18-01-2015 5:46pm

The reason for this is all quite simple.

Fernando and Fernandinho are appalling.

Kirby · 18-01-2015 5:46pm

Angry Coq.

TimeToShine · 18-01-2015 5:46pm

Bellerin and Coq are flying.

Johner · 18-01-2015 5:46pm

Brilliant half from Arsenal.

wandatowell · 18-01-2015 5:47pm

Phew, half way there!

Soups123 · 18-01-2015 5:47pm

Excellent first half, excellent tactics for Arsene. A long way to go

Gringo180 · 18-01-2015 5:47pm

Loving Coq here. Playing v well. Whats up with Mike Dean, hates us he does. How can he allow that corner it was 40 seconds past the one minute added on mark.
