Man City v Arsenal

tayto lover

Doing very well so far even Coq, Bellerin and Monrael.
City with no shot on target yet.
Wenger has them set up well for a change in a big away game.
Keep it up lads.

Very poor performance from us so far. So lethargic. Pellers needs to earn his corn now.

Kompany is having a mare

Agree with Giroud slowing down the counters, Coq has impressed, great to see a bit of passion at the end there. Ramsey making some decent runs, but given it away once or twice. Unfortunate not to have got anything when Chamberlain went down the flank for the Giroud header. Fine cross. Bellerin looking great out there too.

Loving Coq here.

I'd be tempted to bring on Rosicky for Ramsey shortly after half time. Aaron's on a yellow and Tomas will keep the energy levels up

Do we go for the second or try defend it.

I believe it's possible to do both of those things.

But we do need to keep it tight for the first 15. Keep the heads. So far so good.

And Ozil or Walcott for the ox. He's not doing it for me today.

yipeeeee

Was Monreal through on goal?

Not even a yellow card.

tayto lover

Definite penalty too. No arguments about it at all.

gosplan

We're not being physically pushed around. The Ox is important for that.

TimRiggins

Seeing as that was Kompanys fifth yellow, he gets a ban yeah or is that done away with in Janurary? and is he banned for their next game (FA Cup) or League game?

side note... WTF has the Ghostbusters theme got to do with a Passat?

Ended with the last league game of 2014. He needs 10 now before April if I remember correctly and gets a 2 match ban.

c'mon city

Good sub from Pellers there; Jimbo has been ineffective so far today.

Some half from Arsenal

Now for the collapse

blueser

Better start to this half from us.

Crazy how open this game is all of a sudden

TimeToShine

Zab is giving Sanchez a good roasting to be honest.

yipeeeee

Ramsey is playing terrible.

What's up with the end-to-end stuff?

SEPT 23 1989

much better

Will I Amnt

Ramsey needs hauling off, no room for passengers here now.

Johner

City goal is coming.

The start to this half is making it look like the first half was more down to City under-performing than Arsenal over-performing.

SlickRic

Arsenal are doing everything they didn't do first half.

Very dumb.

GavRedKing

If Arsenal hold on for a win or even a draw ye'll become my favourite north london team

Far better tempo from us in this half.

The pace is killing him, looks knackered.

ffs Ramsey.

Feel for Ramsey. Expected to come in and perform after time out.

TimeToShine

Should have been a goal ffs. Where was the free?

klose

Ramsey has been awful.

Well that's Kompany should be off. Excuses are ready now. :P

wandatowell

Giroud's touch delayed the ball getting to Ramsey by a split second

Gringo180

He books Bellerin there and fails to book Kompany for that challenge on Sanchez. Poor ref.

yipeeeee

what Is Ramsey at

TimeToShine

Ramsey off now please

tayto lover

FFS Ramsey.

Sacksian

Ramsey needs to sit. He shouldn't be ahead of Cazorla so often.

iMuse

Get Ramsey off

Gringo180

Said it before. At times Ramseys is like a sunday league player, basic things like first touch is all over the shop.

Have to get Ramsey off soon. I would've been happy to leave things as they were for a while if the second half hadn't started as it has and Ramsey's not on the pace.

wandatowell

Arsenal are way too open!

tayto lover

We are far too loose now.
Need to tighten up.
Ox and Ramsey giving the ball away too much.
