sagna with the exaggeration. Barry sucks though. Jo Does not have the pace to keep up with the arsenal sideline

Theo pushing it toward the goalline wont work if no one is in the box for a service.

Geez, Arsenal players get hurt so easily.

This is how you beat Arsenal. Have fast/dangerous wing players and catch Arsenal when their wings don't track back. Since Arsenals fullbacks both push up, sometimes too far forward, in attack.

He is a defensive liability above all else.

Man City outside of a counter or some Tevez brilliance don't look threatening, but then again Arsenal's center half's and keeper are plenty liable to make a goof of the situation.

I foolishly forgot to mention set plays

Arsenal simply can't defend them.

Man City sure are getting a heck of a lot of players back on defense. It was 4 vs. 8 right there, but thankfully they don't keep their shape, or mark well. Not really very skilled nor disciplined.

Walcott made a mess of that, should have done better.

regardless, I really wanted that PK called

Arsenal's passing from 20-35 yards out is beautiful. Inside 20 is where trouble sets in

too many pinball/cute passes.

City literally have 8 men behind

Arsenal gets the first goal and things are down hill for City. No way they can defend if they push forward for an equalizer.

Jo is pissing me the frick off. He is a CF. He souldve be on that rebound. He may need to come off. Either him of barry for AJ at half.

I'd like Arsenal to try going down the left side more often. They keep feeding the ball into Walcott and it is hit or miss. More often miss, the balls are too heavy and there is no one in the box to receive the cross. But I can understand attacking City's left, since their weakest defender is on the left, and the left wing doesn't defend.
