What we are doing trying to suck them into us before countering is so dangerous my heart can't take it

Lol. Toying with City at the back.

Did I snort too much coke tonigh? Are we playing footy against city? Going toe to toe?

We can't both be dreaming right?

Not enough, Claud.

I know we're a way off being where we want to be but whatever happens today, Arteta has just produced the best half of football we've seen as Arsenal fans in a long time. Really clear shape and structure, well organised game plan.

I'm seeing the same thing, must be real.

Ceballos playing like a boss in tight spaces

Great header Mustafi

Need to hold until HT, we're terrible at seeing things out.

Another lovely move. Cross need to be better.

AMN too selfish.

"The gap between the two teams [referring to Pool but relevant to City] today is enormous, we can not improve it in two months, but the accountability, the fight is now equal and I am very proud of that. The rest will take some time." - Mikel
Turning to truth thus far. With a couple quality additions we'd be much better beating the press and letting that front line loose.

Bellerin gets sucked in leaving Mendy free every time. Does Arteta not rate his crossing?

Just a bad cross I think.

I though he was teying too shoot. I still think he has a good game overall.

Pep animatedly discussing with his backroom staff.

Lets see who can outwit who in the 2nd half.

So nervous

Noticed that and been worried. I thought Mendy was known for his crossing. However, as highlighted by the commentators we're bigger in the box.

Luiz and Xhaka have been excellent. Shocking stuff tbh.
