**** YES! KOSSS

 

[vlad-the-impaling-gunner]

**** Yeah! Excellent strike from Koscielny!

 

[vlad-the-impaling-gunner]

Almost turned from hero to villain with that clearance! Lol that was too close to disaster.

 

[ajt09]

Good result for us if it ends 1-1. Keeps us 3rd.

Almost had heart attack because of that

 

[Athe~]

Arteta so far 102 passes with 94% accuracy. :wub:

 

[vlad-the-impaling-gunner]

What a piece of skill from Koscielny lol.

 

[vlad-the-impaling-gunner]

Gervinho.........has the ****** composure of a 8-year old. That should have been the winner.

 

[*Jamess*]

We just played the Champions of the Premier League away...
And are still unbeaten!!!

GET THE **** IN THERE!!!!
1-1

 

[vlad-the-impaling-gunner]

Kudos to our boys though......going to the home of the champions and dominating them is no mean feat. Gervinho was extremely disappointing, he gets in some wonderful positions but his touch and composure let him down more often than not. Cazorla, brilliant as usual, probably my man of the match. Our defenders all looked pretty good too especially Koscielny. Arteta as usual was splendid at keeping the play flowing and dictating tempo and I thought Ramsey was excellent too. Overall, slightly disappointed we only got a draw but then again looking at that Aguero miss late on, a point is better than nothing. We're starting to look pretty good and things can only get better when the likes of Rosicky, Sagna, and Wilshere get back.

 

[rephlex]

Kinda mixed feelings about this, **** of a performance. Koscielny in particular is such an accomplished defender, there's a reason he was used to pick up Messi when we play Barca. The midfield once again looked brilliant, Ramsey was outstanding, got into great positions.. The only downside has to be Gervinho doing the right thing at the right time.. he gets into good positions but constantly ***** it up. Had two good chances today, and a whole group of lesser ones where he could have got his head up and passed for a teammate to shoot.

One point away at the champions is a good result, especially how it was well fought, and hopefully keep playing like this against Chelsea's midfield, which is arguably less solid than City's, and it could be a positive seven days.

Edit: It also says a lot that we arn't getting ripped apart by top sides when we play Jenkinson, it's good to be able to give him some experience and he's looking a lot more accomplished, which isn't bad after he was playing in the conference before that.

If Jenkinson keeps playing like this Sagna might find himself on the bench when fit. Jenkinson had really good game and is improving at fast pace at the moment.

 

[Quasit]

Before the game I would've gladly taken draw, but now after I'm quite disappointed we didn't win. Really confident ahead of Chelsea game next weekend.

Aaron Ramsey selection for Manchester City encounter baffles Arsenal fans | Metro.co.uk

In hindsight, what a ****** masterstroke from Wenger. He was truly exceptional today.

 

[Yago69]

Yeah, Ramsey was great. As were Arteta, Cazorla, Jenkinson, Koscielny... Well, pretty much the whole team. Gervinho made good runs, but his finishing... Bit disappointed in Podolski, wasn't bad but I expected more... Didn't see much of our subs either.

 

[alicwkd]

Edit: It also says a lot that we arn't getting ripped apart by top sides when we play Jenkinson, it's good to be able to give him some experience and he's looking a lot more accomplished, which isn't bad after he was playing in the conference before that.

? He came from Charlton, a championship side... We haven't quite sunk that low yet.

Carzola is amazing, definitely my man of the match. Gervinho got into dangerous areas but his lack of composure hindered him every time. Overall excellent Arsenal performance. Bodes well for the rest of the season and will be even better when Sagna is fit.

The squad is still not good enough for a title challenge, not enough strength in depth and it will be interesting to see how Arsenal respond when they can't break through a deep, compact side- something they've traditionally struggled with. But if depth is added, and Arsene can keep the team together in the summer, Arsenal aren't far off the standard of the top 2.

 

[Montanaro]

good game...throat is a little sore now.

Gerv, had a good game overall, but has shown why he doesn't need to be the center forward.

Pods, off his game, had a couple good flicks and ran back to cover, but I think Man City did a good job against him.

Walcott? Doesn't deserve 100k p/w.

Jenkinson is showing some growth and is getting comfortable in the EPL.

Giroud...team is starting to learn how he likes to play. He made some good flicks (if you watch his Montpellier highlights, he is great at feeding his teammates) and was in good positions, probably should have started him.

Arteta and Cazorla were their consistent selves. Good passes, good hustle, limited mistakes.

 

[rephlex]

? He came from Charlton, a championship side... We haven't quite sunk that low yet.

He wasn't in the Charlton first team though, he was playing on loan in a conference side at the time.
