Great win by us today against Villa - we rode our luck at times but so did Villa against us last season so swings and roundabouts The post match from last season's loss where Arteta made out that it was total dominance (at Emirates) was nonsense. There were a few chances but what we saw yesterday was incredible misses from Watkins. Arsenal did not have anything like that last season. I have thought for a while that Trossard should be starting over Martinelli. He is just more football clever than Martinelli. Makes the right decisions. Martinelli is all head down, doing things too quickly. The most talked about player per minutes played, Jurrian Timber did not do much yesterday but shows that Arteta does not trust Zinchenko in big games. Considering how Zinchenko has cost Arsenal crucial points since he's been there. In particular twice at Anfield. Going forward he's good but defensively he's not good at all. |

He has also contributed to us getting crucial points too so it’s not all bad. He will play his part even if it’s against lesser opponents |

Hopefully Merino can lessen the load |

Normally I don't get annoyed with taking a draw from eastlands (considering our last win was back in 2015) but today Michael Oliver cost Arsenal the points with bad officiating. The Trossard second yellow is debatable but I keep hearing fans screaming "ThE lEtTeR oF tHe LaW"
Bring some fcxking consistency THEN!!!
This one I can't even get onto Arteta today.

I think Trossard deservedly got sent off there, however the problem is when Man City players do the exact same thing and then manage to get away with it. The battle will probably rage on as to whether City will have scored if they ended up having a red themselves, but I think Arsenal will still be happy to ensure that they left there with a draw as going a man down to City doesn't always mean an easy fight. |

Normally I would be happy to take a draw but not on this occasion unfortunately. Doku should have been penalised as well and also Silva. Michael Oliver did the same bullshxt last season when Kovacic did two tackles to one of the players and didn't get a second yellow because he (Oliver) didn't want to ruin the game. What rubbish is that. Kovacic had to be taken off at half time as pep knew he was on thin ice. I can see one of these teams taking all 3 points from City this season at Eastlands after watching our performance. I'm going to say it'll probably be out of Fulham, Spurs, Brighton or Forest |

This league is fixed, that's all I'm saying. |

Trossard can have no complaints, the foul he committed was probably worthy of a second yellow card without subsequently kicking the ball away. The Doku incident was different, he was kicking the ball to where Michael Oliver was pointing as Arsenal tried every trick in the book to waste time, but it came back to bite them as City equalised in the time that was added on because of their time wasting. Great game from a neutral perspective and a draw was probably a fair result although Arsenal get the psychological advantage.

Great game from a neutral perspective and a draw was probably a fair although Arsenal get the psychological advantage. My argument was actually kicking the ball away? You don't chase the ball at 100% just to kick it away. Was he not just trying to clear the ball by hoofing it away as you would do when the whistle is well overdue, expecting to then hear the half time whistle. Of course the Doku incident was different, he was playing against Arsenal. It wasn't different. Rice was standing where the kick needed to be taken. If a player can not pass a ball over such a short distance, at a unnecessarily forceful pace, which he did neither, it is delaying the restart of the game. Seems referees do have a choice, yet sometimes they chose to ignore it, and other times claim they are left other option |

A draw was NOT a fair result. City just about got a draw against a 10 man Arsenal. |

This is the same Michael Oliver last season that didn't want to send Kovacic off as "He DiDn'T wAnT tO rUiN tHe GaMe". What rubbish is that.
