    Well from what I saw of that 1st half (I was preparing my roasties at the same time) it seemed like we created a few chances at the start but had no clinical edge, couldn't take our chances then Citey were clinical enough to take their 1st chance, then we controlled possession (mostly) without threatening after that, while giving the ball away to enable dangerous counterattacks.

    Kindoff our last season in microcosm.

    Good play by Arsenal, a bit of a messy pass by Theo at the end but good finish by Iwobi 1-1

    Alexis so unlucky not to score - free kick came off the bar and just went past Ramsey and Elneny for an easy tap in!

    We are the much better side in this 2nd half, let's hope we can make it count and score again.

    Iwobi has been our best player this Pre-Season IMO.

    He can do a bit of everything.

    Great goal from Theo - lets hope this means we'll actually have 'good theo' from a few seasons ago rather than 'recent theo' in the coming months!

    Cazorla over Ramsey all day long IMO.

    The little Spaniard is still World Class.

    Good result though against a full strength City.

    We've played so well they deserve to have their goal scratched off! <laugh>

    As I say that we concede a poor goal and it goes 3-2!

    Cech is a thousand percent better than Hart.

    Navas and De Bryune have owned Gibbs since he came on, though tbf he's had no support when being doubled up on.
