Arsenal v City - 4pm

Can't complain really, Koscielny shouldn't have done that and knew it was coming because earlier on in the match he grabbed a hold of Dzeko around the halfway line and said to myself hope he doesn't do that in the box and then he does. What goes around comes around, 2-3 years ago they got Boyata sent off even earlier and we blew them away 3-0.

Does Koscielny miss the Chelsea game? Hopefully he's learnt his lesson and matures from that silly act, you'd expect that from Vermaelen last year, but it just goes to show how our captain has matured in defending now and Koscielny should follow in his footsteps. Mertesacker and Vermaelen has been our most secured partnership this season and when Koscielny's back from suspension he should only be selected if one of Vermaelen or Mertesacker's injured or suspended.

Other words, thought Wilshere showed great heart and determination yesterday, was my man of the match. Vermaelen also had a solid game as well.

I noticed this, this guy's going mad. It wasn't even a lapse of time he literally said it straight afterwards

I assume you didn't see the first goal? Although he did have a good second half. I liked Wilshere's performance aswell. Captain material.

Of course I saw the first goal, he's not to blame, Milner took it extremely quickly.

Come on. It's fine liking a player and such, but he wasn't concentrated for their first goal. A free kick quickly taken, gave too much room away to Milner, one through pass and a fantastic shot and it was a goal. Point is, he made a mistake for giving too much room to Milner, while he was directly in sight. Lost of concentration or being naïve, no matter, it was a mistake.

He did pick it up in the second half, like the whole team did, but the damage was already done.

Hard to know how well Arsenal would have really done considering they had 10 men for 80 minutes of the game though.

It reminded me a lot of when this happened:

Look at the bottom 3 in the table provided in that link.. Liverpool.

The day Hernandez scored that back header at Stoke.

Right choice by the FA

not enough defenders
