We are keeping our shape very well. I wonder why we don't have this sort of planning on other games?

Mustafi with some idiot defending. Why do players just stop playing (especially the last defender) and appeal for a foul? I really don't understand it.

Going forward - well. When you play 5-4-1, it isn't going to be often. They have nullified City, but can't get much of an attack other than a hit and hope.

We are going to take more risks in the the second half, but considering that most were giving us no chance, it hasn't been a bad half.

The first 20 minutes summed up Wengers Arsenal - some good attacking promise but then let down by our non existent defence.

Kompany has played well to take our new boy out of the game
The only way back, imo, is to have someone closer to Aubameyang, if they are going to hit and hope.

When we had men like Tony Adams, David O Leary, Kenny Sansom and Rocky instead of a team of melts

Kompany deserved that - he has been outstanding.

This is really embarrassing, mind you the Akb Bingo should be good after the match:

'It's only the Carabao Cup'
'We're concentrating on the Europa League'
'They're the best team in the country, what do you expect'

Or similar :banghead: :banghead:
