Not sure if that should have been a penalty to Arsenal as well. Stones just body checks Ozil so his keeper can clean up. Makes 0 attempt to play the ball.

Well nothing has changed much from last season defensively.

Meh I didn’t think we would win anyhow today.

Let’s hope we learn from this game and improve for the next otherwise it’s just going to be another depressing season ahead.

Still looking forward to our games though unlike last season when I couldn’t give a flying toss if we won or lost.
What we're you expecting the manager turns it all around in one game?

He has hardly signed great quality defenders anyway imo.

Least give him chance before being all doom n gloom.

You lost to city the champions not like it was a lower teir club e.g Bournemouth etc

Apart from the howler of a mistake that put Aguero through he's had a solid game. Shocking hair do though.

Xhaka should be forgotten, he's crap.

Started well but he's been awful for large parts. Hes out of his depth...not sure why hes starting in such a big game tbh.

ozil shinned it way ahead of himself though so wasn't in possession of the ball so just got blocked of.

You can't just play the man and not the ball though. Ozil was going to challenge the keeper for the ball and Stone just checks him. Another one of those rules like being able to shepherd the ball out at the back by wrestling with the opposition player. Anywhere else on the pitch it would be a foul.

Arsenal really should be back in this game with the chances they have had.
