Wow, playing really well.Very creative against man C reserve mid-field -3 threaded passes direct to opponents!.

The way he lost the ball in the 47th min is typical.

Our best chance with that auba shot was when he was not involved.

Cech and xhaka continuing where they left off last season, hopefully Leno and torriera get more game time the rest of the season

Only positives are it's only one nil and we seem to be pressing higher up the pitch which has created a couple of half chances.

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

That might be the way that Dick ends up dropping him.

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.
Well if we're f*cked under Kroenke (if? lol) then I hope City do dominate, better that than sitting in midtable watching, United, Liverpool, Chavs (even Spuds?!) win the title is depressing enough and the way the game has sold out (especially the PL) it deserves to end up f*cking itself over.

Putting my positive hat on at least we haven't capitulated yet..

loving the pressing game but the thing that has disappointed me today and pre season is the dis jointedness in the final third,with our attacking players we should be doing way more,ozil is running his nuts off,and as for xhaka its fucking criminal that he is still an Arsenal player

Yeah Xhaka giving the ball away twice nearly leading to goals and wtf was Cech doing with that shot?, looked like it went nearer the middle of the goal than the corner and he just pulls out of trying to save?, he's way past his best.

Don't think we're playing that well at all and where the fuck is Ozil?

It'll be interesting to see what happens after half-time and what changes.

Now in our first proper game Dick can see the real shite he has inherited.

This is only the 1st game and it'll take time I know.

Yes the passing has been poor I think.
Ozick does look as though he is trying but nothing is coming off.

The key player is Aubameyang - get him into the game and we will score.

I was certain the Sterling strike was going well wide because of the way the plank just pulled away from it.

Straight in to the middle of the fucking goal :banghead:

Honestly the worst keeper I have ever seen in an Arsenal shirt and I’ve seen some shit play in there.

The one he nearby passed straight into his own goal????

FUCK OFF :banghead:

That’s why it’s good to get this game out of the way now.

Don't draw conclusion after just 49 mins.

Out of context.

he is our most 'creative' force.

Agreed.

Cech won everything at Chelsea and is only biding his time now on a fat paycheck until he fucks off at the end of the season. He doesn't really care - which shows.

Fuck him off now!
