Priority number one this season had to be getting rid of Cech, Mustafi and Xhaka and shore up the spine of the team.

Instead all three of the fucking skid marks start today. Doesn’t matter a fuck who the manager is as long as shit like them are in the team.

Maitland-Niles looks out we're fucked at left back.

I nearly fainted with shock. An Arsenal manager giving individualised instructions during a game. As far as I knew that was outlawed 22 years ago.

Playing quite well but City have comfortably the most talented squad coached by one of the world's best managers. On top of that they have the deepest pockets by a country mile. City could win five or six on the trot. Great for them but it could quite easily get to Bayern levels of dominance which may hurt the marketability of the league at some point.

It might just save him some permanent mental scars, he was getting crucified by both Mharez & Walker.

I’m all for playing out from the back but you fucking can’t do it with Pete the fucking Plank in goal :banghead:

This is a decent performance but we're just short of quality players

Best way of looking at it is this:

Under Wenger we would still probably be 1-0 down but you knew nothing would change until 70th minute. Under Emery there might be some half time tactical changes.

Double sub at half time - Leno and Torreira for Pete the Plank and the Swiss turd and start the new era fucking properly.

Would rather they won 5 or 6 in a row than Spurs OR United OR Liverpool OR Chelsea 8)

Thought we played well that last 10 minutes or so. You can really see Emery's pressing coming in to play.

dozer is pressing high. City are making a few mistakes back there.

We’re defending the box quite well. One silly mistake and we’re one down. Lichtenstein looks more comfy against mahrez. We look good on the break.

1-0 at half time.

City might tire. Our lot are as fit af .

If we can keep it tight first 20, we might nick a draw.
