Arsenal

Because are Podolski's goals enough for them? What if Podolski gets injured or has a drop in form? There is nothing better than having two excellent goalscorers.

if giroud is so intelligent and good and makes spaces etc why are you concern about his socring anyway then and say he need to adapt PL. just because he missed some sitter that he scored any day in france doesn't need to ring the panic alarm and say he need to adapt more.

He didn't have a preseason, so he hasn't had the chance to learn where the midfield will pass, how the run of play will flow, and the midfield hasn't learned how he himself moves in the box. The only way for him to learn now is week by week in games where we need to earn points.

Gervinho is scoring too.

I think Arsenal might win this, they've been as impressive if not more so than City thus far

I hear this every year before Janurary.

That being said I think this Arsenal team is the most promising in years, but their strikers are still a step down from RVP.

I think overall though they are stronger than last season

I agree, but I'm not convinced their overall depth is enough to avoid "the Arsenal effect", but they should have a solid seaon.

We have nothing to lose from this game. A win will be a convincing statement, one loss at the etihad won't say we're not challengers. If we put in a convincing performance regardless I'm happy.

szczesny definitely isn't arsenal's best keeper if all of them are available. supporters seem to place his "LoL so randemmmmmmmmmm xdDD" humor over actual ability and consistency. his confidence is like a fake/superficial confidence. way too many soft goals/clangers. despite his mental frailty(which is overstated) i'd rather have fabianski in there.

Quick! Somebody snatch the hasgiroudscoredforarsenalyet.com domain!

nobody will be as bad as torres in his first year in chelsea,and yet he is still bad

I am secretly wishing that Arsene starts Mannone tomorrow.

I am secretly wishing that Arsene starts Mannone tomorrow.

Seeing as how that Martinez kid and Shea are the only other keepers left I'm assuming he will

Love this pic. He looks like a mob boss about to have someone assassinated.

Anyways, it's going to be very interesting what happens when Szczesny is fit again. Vito has stepped up massively and is looking top class, but neither will be willing to be #2. I think one of them will leave for a big club by the end of this season, and it's a shame.

Why did Arsene have to wait until the 2nd half stoppage time to sub out Gervinho? WTF?

i agree, gervinho cost arsenal the win today in my opinion................

We had a host of chances in the first half, that didn't land on target, but with the right final ball they would've been a guaranteed goal. Instances such as where Gibbs should've tracked the ball back to unmarked Podolski, and Gervinho taking a touch to heavy in what would've been a goal with a clinical finish. Overall dominated City, should've won but that's football.
