Ramsey's form is worring.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah beginning to think last season was just purple patch. But Ozil is the biggest worry. Looks like he's turning into Torres.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Özil second half was better though. Ramsey should have subbed way earlier. He lost too many possession.

Ramsey has been poor of late but I have confidence that he will get better, and at least he scores. Ozil is simply shocking in practically every match. I would rather see any of Chambo/Campbell/Cazorla partnering Ramsey and Jack.

We were clearly the better team and we should have won, but what a player Sanchez is. Clearly the signing of the season

2 rebounds off the woodwork, a foul on Aguero not given by the incompetent twatenberk in the lead up to Wilshire's great finish, a clear control of the ball with the arm by Wilshire in the City box not given and even Wilshire admits that he was happy with the draw in his post match interview. Yet you believe that Arsenal were "CLEARLY THE BETTER TEAM"? i suggest you take off your Gooner glasses mate.

Is that despite the fact City had more possesion, more shots on target and had more corners?

No ref on the planet would have given a handball against Wilshere. His arm was by his side in a natural position. Even Danny Mills didn't think it was close to being a pen.

I thought a draw was fair. We fell apart after the second goal. Probably just exhaustion and City had the freedom of the park. Overall, the shaded the encounter.

Exhaustion shouldn't be an issue at this stage of the season considering you were at home and City had at least the same number of player on international duty midweek.
posted on 13/9/14
We've played 2 European games, so yeah, exhaustion may be a factor. I thought we were flagging badly towards the end and were just hanging on.

Exhaustion Ffs even for you that's a stupid thing to come out with.
The ref was a defianate homer.
