Dirty dirty Arsenal. They were worried. Our squad depth now comes into question.

F**k you. And no, no smilie.

Lack of midfielders? Makes you wonder why we signed Gardos though.

Dirty Arsenal b*stards. Kick us off the pitch and take advantage when we are down to ten. C**ts. #Andbreathe

If only Jose had connected with that clearance.

Kudos to Shane Long, he has dug in really well tonight. Interesting that Ron keeps faith with Mayuka.

It's curious how Adam Lallana couldn't manage that in League 1 yet now takes the set pieces for England. There must be something in the water.

Clearly Then in a weird way we agree, despite your initial argument.

Apart from one of our best chances where Pelle just skimmed the ball wide. We were made to look inferior by a really devastatingly good Manchester City side. There is no shame in that. Suck it up, move on.

Point one: Because the city defence did their job. They contained us. Point two: Glad we agree.

The performance against QPR was otherwise rather underwhelming. As you say, a moment of genius, like the individual talent shown by Aguero to pick us apart when we pushed on. The stats today showed that we had more possession, had more corners and gave away less fouls. We pushed them today, they had to turn it on. It wasn't perfect, and yes the lack of penetration from wide areas was a missed opportunity, yet that was far from our worst performance today, we played against a Man City team who gave us their best. That there are such obvious areas for improvement from players who have already shown better says that we have another gear to go to. It's up to Koeman to make that happen.

We were contained by a side who showed us the greatest respect by being at their best to take us out. It was a shame to lose 3-0 but not the end of the world, the only dark side is how exposed we looked when we pushed on to get something after City went down to ten men, very similar to the Skates cup game, they just picked us off. We played worse then today against Swansea and QPR to name but two.

We will play worse then that this season and win.

On many levels.

Just....

Jesus. Simply cannot justify that, a pity as I was looking forward to going.

Ah so close! Congrats to whoever is declared the winner.

Credit to Hutton, Okore and the Villa defence. That is the template on how to play against us.

An away point. Incidentally, anyone know why Bertrand has a whacking great scar on his torso?

Thank f**k for Nat Clyne.

Hutton is having a very solid game.

This so far feels rather eerily familiar. Quite unlike the rest of this season so far.

Fully expect to see Cork on for one of Mane, Long or Tadic at half time.

F**k me.
