Why has Wenger started Iwobi over Lacazette? What is the logic behind that?

Sanchez doing his best to sabotage the game for his future employers. Worst player on the pitch so far.

Huge gaps for both teams to exploit at times in that first half but the final pass has generally been poor

The thing is, we shouldn't say decent team, but decent manager with a decent team. I'm pretty sure we'll either win a draw against them.
You mean like Chelsea, Napoli or Shakhtar?

Hopefully Steve Bould will have a few words and change something at halftime.

Arsenal high press kind of working. Sanchez' passing has been off. They need Ozil on the ball.

In the replay of the goal, Ramsey charging out to close down De Bruyne left the space for the 1-2 that led to the goal. Easy to blame Ramsey there however it's happened against Chelsea... Great stuff by City.

Strange people compliment Arsenal. I think they have been as bad as against Liverpool. The big difference is that City have been much more wasteful.

I don't even think City play at the highest level today and they are so many classes better than Arsenal.

Tim Sherwood is my worst pundit officially. Talks rubbish about almost everyone, like he is the second coming of Sacchi

I've noticed it a few tims today. The moment you press a fraction too early they have a 1-2 or a triangle of quick passes and then all 2/3 players involved are bearing down directly on the defence. It's frightening, hopefully something Jose is studying.

Arsenal have been OK, we've been poor, look a little sloppy, maybe tired from midweek. Hope we don't regret those missed chances.

Raheem has been very poor and the reason we're not 2-3 up, though he's been good in comparison to Sanchez whose been shocking. Making stones look like baresi.

Games far from over. Arsenal will be better 2nd half and we look jaded.

In that same replay, just pay close attention to Ozil. "No feck is given " type of attitude.

If there was one result you could count on this weekend that was Arsenal rolling over vs City and die.

I think Koscielny came off looking worse for the goal. Anyone can be bypassed with a one-two, but Koscielny sees De Bruyne in front of him and just takes a lazy step forward to 'block' the shot.

That's why it's important to park the bus because as soon as you press they work their way around and behind into the vacated space.

3-5-1-1 would work I feel.

Sacchi is himself a generally terrible pundit himself :p

I'd love to know the answer to this because from a fan's point of view, Wenger has mismanaged Lacazette all season and not done wonders for his confidence.

I really wanted to see Lacazette-Alexis-Ozil together a lot this season but at this rate we should have just sold Agent Alexis.
