7 attempts to their 1, and their one was from halfway.

when we get ball we should attack with a bit more pace

The yellows are a concern but the team is showing desire which is what we want to see.

I wonder what Arsene's gameplan will be for the second half; go all-out to try and get some points, but risk worsening goal difference in the battle for 4th place if they lose, or try to cut their losses with a 1-0 scoreline?

Agreed Zaba's been disappointing going forward and Nasri seems bothered by all the booing. I'd have Milner on for Nasri. The alternative is Jovetic who surely should get some game time. He'd give the Arse a new problem. Like everyone else worried about the yellow cards. Why the fuck does Vinny get booked so early twice running?

45 minutes from a huge 3 points. COME ON CITY.

i could see Ox coming on for Rosicky to inject pace on their right. could be dangerous.

anyone seen any possession stats for the first half?

Agree about Nasri. WOuld have started with Milner.

most likely couldn't because hes our only real RB cover so hes gotta be on the bench in case Zaba gets injured.
i guess we could play Clichy on the right with Kolarov on the left but Milner is a better option at RB.

My main worry is that Arsenal potentially have a goal in them & we have blindly pissed away about five absolutely lethal situations in their box.

If we get a 2nd then we should be sorted but right now we are in a dangerous position, purely down to our own lack of precision. We have outclassed them otherwise.

Supposedly 58-42 in our favor

Arsenal has been top 128 days this season, Chelsea 62, Liverpool 24, and City only 8

You only have to be top for 1, as long as it's the right one.

Amazing the difference in commentary without Tyler!

its interesting that at the end of the season the table could be in the exact reverse order of the above.

Poor call there, should have been a corner

Fuck

that was always coming when we squander possession that much
