    Ok we've got two of their main players so far, only Kevin left to get a proper clattering.

    He might come on later after Kos and Co have softened the City players up for the taking. Wenger's masterclass.

    It's funny the reason the British media hates Wenger is because he used to talk down to the Allardyce's and Pulis's for setting up their teams like this.

    Good grief this game is poor. Neither side can string more than 3 passes together and have simply resorted to hacking eachother down every 2 seconds, leading to a really broken flow of play.

    I'm surprised that Wenger went for this type of strategy as I thought it would be quite an open game. The longer this goes the more chances we have of nicking this one.

    To be fair its actually fairly sensible.

    Guardiola's team have always been dodgy in the air.
    Good to see Holding getting some time - he's got massive potential. Personally think he should be starting alot more games.

    I don't disagree, it is a good strategy and working so far. We need to be better going forward and close the midfield gaps.

    Much better from you this half. Oxlade is playing really well. I think you need to move Sanchez into a more central position as he is hugging the touchline and is struggling to influence the game from there.

    Wow. I had no idea Aguero was that quick. Poor mistake from Ramsey.

    yep,lovely goal, but Cech shoulda been off his line a bit earlier imo, and a bit of West Ham defending there, 10 men in the opponents half.

    Agreed rcl. Cech didn't move quickly enough.

    And I hope that goal lays to rest the idiotic argument that Monreal is 'faster' than Walker.

    well, he's made amends for being too far forward for Man City goal.
