Was that in off the keeper?
Yes and more embarassingly had he actually run and dived it was an EASY, really easy save, but he just sidestepped, no pace and didn't jump to put his hand on it, lazy keeping, he thought it was going wide. ALso a poor rush out and clearance that he miskicked, Almunia seems to be getting worse by the game at the moment and was never great to start with.
To late now but Arsenal really need a worldclass keeper to turn these kinds of games into draws. Lehman in most games was great and on his day was one of the best in the world, had his nightmare games but then so has VDS, Casillas and Buffon.
City don't look anything special so far, but Arsenal look particularly poor. No support for Van Persie, exactly the same problem, utterly isolated, absolutely no driving runs from Song, Diaby or Denilson forwards to get into the box, so many slow sideways passes or backwards when we should be breaking. Basically all the problems we had in all of our games so far, just playing much much higher quality opposition.
