Arse 2-0 at Everton. Looking dangerous.

Everton are absolutely shocking. I reckon only 50% of their passes have reached a blue shirt

Frustrating to see Wenger reaping rewards of having faith in his youngsters. Iwobi played at barca and now scores at Everton.

It's an approach barca also use, bedding youngsters in. City don't seem to have that confidence in youngsters. Maybe they're not good enough but if we don't slot them in from time to time we will never know.

We are desperate for that young enthusiasm.

I did. But Everton are terrible. Was expecting a lot more from them.

Good old Wenger, he knows how to win the league eh?

So bearing in mind Neymar and Suarez cost about £160M, just how many youngsters have become Barcelona regulars since Busquets? Even worse when you consider most of the opposition is dogshite.

Bit like class of 92 isn't it? One decent crop creates the myth forever.

Very clumsy by lukaku, just slid knee first into Ospina. Should have been a card in my opinion. Understand these things happen but he was so far away from making contact with the ball

What's the hope for a draw here?
Arsenal doing their usual dropping back when comfortably winning.

Then again they'll probably hit them on the break for another.

Pretty slim unless everton get a lucky break. Wenger dropped out of all the other cups to focus on the most coveted 4th place trophy.

Everton seem to slowly be turning into wigan under martinez. play some good football when no one is watching, but struggle when it gets tough.

the lesson here is the rags should be deflated after a big loss. Nothing is to be taken for granted, we have to jump all over the scum and work them to death from the 1st min.

I agree, but how is that the lesson here? Arsenal just came off a big loss and won comfortably.

If we win tomorrow, we're only 1 point behind the arse and you know they'll choke away a bunch more points before the season's over

So are people watching chelsea vs west ham or leicester vs crystal palace? Sadly enough the wet ham game has more of an effect on us than the league leaders

Agree to a certain extent, but Pellegrini/City have shown themselves lacking in this dept. You could say that it's because we haven't had good enough players, but then I'll raise you a MDM this year or the many injuries we've sustained partly because a lack of rotation.

Wheels nearly of for the scum as it would have been for the Arsenal if they had lost again, they did not choke today.

Could have been two there.
Good save by Hennessey.
