Arsenal's pressure up high left them exposed at the back. The pass from Mahrez to Aguero put Citeh in the space to attack, where the Gunners defenders failed to cover their 1 v 1 scenarios. Undone by 15 seconds of laziness.
We got rid of the wrong goalie Leno he's always parrying the ball into the danger zone. Angle sideways. Edit. He does it again, catch the bloody thing. He got lucky that time as it went to his team mates.
Difference in the match right now is the accuracy of Citeh's passing. Much more direct, quicker, and on target.
That was a series of really bad play from Leno. Hadn't even got back up by the the time the ball was in the net.
Arsenal could have brick wall for keeper and it wouldn't help if the Gunners can't hold onto the ball.
HT: 1-0 Gunners have a good final 5-7 minutes but their attack has for the most part been predictable and slow, allowing Citeh to recover.
Saka has been Arsenal’s best attacking player. What happened to Holding, was he injured in the warm up? He’s not listed on the bench, which means Arsenal haven’t got a center half on the bench.
City have such a good press but we have created a couple of good chances I feel like we should be targeting rodri for a second d yellow and running at him, especially when tierney or saka go forward as he’s in the right centre of midfield
Not a great half. But on the plus side, it feels like we're competitive and could be level if things had broken just a little bit differently. It's a world better than when we played City in June and got outshot 20-3.
We look ok in spirts, thank god kdb isn’t playing I think we need someone like partey to come on and drive the ball forward, either sub him on for ceballos or change the back 3
