They're attacking midfielders then, point ?

Who's supposed to create in Arsenal ?
Creating is something different to controlling. Again, Özil in this City team would look amazing. He can only create chances if he receives passes in the right positions. And that is up to the CM, not the attack.

Arsenal desperately need Torreira here. Someone to take control in midfield.

Arsenal should put their defenders up front - they seem good at creating chances

How do City players get away with so many bookable offences?

Just in case anyone missed it. I don't like Mount.

State of Arse there.

Cech needs to boot the ball out sometimes. Feel like one of City's players is going to nick the ball off of him and score.

Care to tell us why Ozil and Mikhi look great in easy games then ? Arsenal midfield doesn't change from game to game it's exactly the same.

Ozil and Mikhi are 2 attacking midfielders who are supposed to drop, get the ball and create for the strikers upfront. Them getting hidden and fecking up each pass is on them. You're trying too hard to defend Ozil.

And Ozil will never get in this City team ahead of the likes of KDB and Silva who both have one, one! defensive midfielder behind them and take full responsibility of carrying the ball forward and creating.

Little too early to conclude but Mahrez doesn't seem a good fit at City.

Not sure how you don't book Gundogan there... City are getting away with tons of fouls. They are outplaying us by a wide margin. Xhaka-Clown hair has been brutal in midfield

Enviable the wealth of talent Guardiola has to just ease Silva steadily out of automatic mandatory first team selection. At any time.

It's the same with all these high-pressing teams, Liverpool and Spurs as well. Constant tactical fouling and the refs just ignore it. Infuriated me all through last season. Seems like it's going to be the same again this season.

Auba close.

Socrates is a decent defender and he'll do well for them. They need to sort out the left back and the midfield though. City are pressing the hell out of them and cutting through them.

Jose would absolutely love Laporte. Completely no nonsense defender and incredible on the ball.

Interesting with Chelsea coming up next week . Safe to say Arsenal will be out of the title race in 2 weeks rather than usual one month timeline .
