    Excited to see de Bruyne, Aguero, Silva and Toure all together against a team as good as Arsenal, could go quite well.

    Our defence is weak though.

    Neither team pressing, both wary of the other cutting them open. I think the game at the Etihad last season where Wenger played counter attack has certainly influenced the set up of both sides.

    Twice now City have stopped us breaking and card has stayed in the pocket. Clever by City and the ref let's them away with it

    Kolarov gets to cynically stop another counter attack due to the refs incompetence

    The Ox has really regressed to have Campbell starting ahead of him. Shame. I had high hopes

    Love how Koscielny seems to take a positive touch forward when he picks up possession then moves quickly forward. De Bruyne with some nice touches aswell...barring that corner flag debacle

    Greedy. Silva was there for the tap in. Shocking defending from Arsenal there. Gotta do better.

    No surprise that the best period of play for both teams was two of them countering counter attacks. Essentially that's what both of these teams are trying to do and it's cancelling each other out.
