Also Guendouzi’s going to be a ****ing superstar, guy was pinging it around like Pirlo all half.

Can't believe we only paid £7million for him. What a find.

 

[krengon]

Yep. That goal was forgivable. First one wasn’t.

Such a shame, I would have liked our chances if we could have kept it a draw to ht, you could already see City getting frustrated. A lot to ask to come back again, but we’ll see, as long as they don’t score again we have a chance.

We’ve got it spot on in our approach today, unlucky to be behind. Once again individual mistakes cost us, to do something like that in the 1st min is unforgivable, can’t even blame tired mind or legs.

 

[NieThePiet]

I can't expect more from Lichtsteiner to be honest.
He is past it and everybody knows it.

He is just trying his best, but it's not good enough for this level of course. Can't blame him much, nobody expected Bellerin would miss so many games.

Emery should see this in training, not sure Jenkinson is worse and athletical he is on a better level.

 

[FinnGooner]

Lichtsteiner is truly an awful player. Beyond Squillaci and Silvestre level signing.

 

[Tourbillion]

For a decade we've had full backs who are so casual when it comes to closing down wingers. It's just brain-death kind of stupid.

 

[HBL]

Still got to have hope, look how rattled the fans/players were getting at 1-1.

Kosc and Guendouzi have been brilliant tbh

 

[al-Ustaadh]

Formation has worked well tbh. We’re creating plenty.

Only difference between the sides has been one truly awful mistake from Iwobi.

And a brain lapse by Lichtsteiner (even his misreading of Lacazette's cross-field ball was a brain lapse).

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Lich and Iwobi been the worst players for us today and city too advantage from it. Get Suarez at 2nd half get bring mavro on and put musti at RB.

 

[Fewtch]

The good news is that we’re going to be paid handsomely when we sell Matteo to Real Madrid

 

[Ricardinho]

Excellent maths!

 

[say yes]

Iwobi has 45 mins to turn it around before I end him on this forum. Enough is enough.

 

[Mohamed7]

Our right hand side need to replaced at HT

Monreal was also at fault for the second goal. We have not even cleared the ball and he's almost out of the 18 yard box. Had he stayed with his defense, he could have easily cleared.

 

[BigPoppaPump]

We should've gone for Clyne when Liverpool were selling.

Guendouzi and Torreira have been great so far. Lacazette and Auba have been threatening but we need more from them, Kola and Iwobi been good in the middle 3rd but useless in the final third. Wish Iwobi would learn how to make a final ball.

 

[Rex Stone]

You feel with a decent summer of investment we could really turn this City side over. Kroenke has to back Emery in the window.

 

[Makingtrax]

It's nice and I felt and still feel Arsenal could get a draw...but that was a random corner kick goal...to put that on the manager to vindicate him for the coward line up and conceding after 22 seconds He's still poverty.

That is such a harsh post. WTF is a random corner bro. The team work on these all the time.

Aren’t you constantly criticising Emery for picking Guendouzi. Well he bossed that midfield today. Give Emery some credit, he sees the guy training every day.

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

Bad defense all over the place in the second goal but it is what we should expect having Mustafi and Lichtsteiner there.

 

[WilshereGone]

You'd think the one thing you could expect from Licht is experience. ****ing simple run in behind him from Sterling and he's ball watching. Prick.

 

[Sniper Mik]

Lichtsteiner and Iwobi constantly failing to track the third man runs on our right. Man what even is the fvcking point of Lichtsteiner? Atleast with Jenkinson you know he'll follow your instructions to the T

 

[BigPoppaPump]

Iwobi has 45 mins to turn it around before I end him on this forum. Enough is enough.

You still rate him?

 

[al-Ustaadh]

Looks like part of Emery's game plan is to have City players wear themselves out and then attack.

As always, expect City to come out of the gates at the start of the second half.
