Match Reaction v Man City

[Özim]

Dixon and co analysed the performance thought we were decent and a bit unlucky, got to agree but think Man City edged in in terms of quality...they played some greast stuff.

Our attacking was pretty decent as was our effort, Vermaelen with a couple belters late on. Gervinho was busy and did well bar a few poor decisions, Arteta was solid and unlike many I thought Ramsey was excellent. I think most of the players were excellent today though Walcott was non existent and the right side of the defence was average in the 2nd half, Dixon thinks Mertersacker has added some experience though he's not sure he's the answer.....got to agree on that....he's decent but has an error of some sort in almost every game we play, Vermaelen has been great recently and it would be good to find someone of his quality to play alongside him....like Merts, Koscielny also has an error in him.

I thought City were pretty good, they reminded me of us in years gone by, moving the ball around at every opportunity, they really exploited the fact we had no natural full backs on the pitch. They're easily the best side in the league IMO, only thing that will stop them is themselves.

We certainly matched them at times but you always felt they had a little bit of extra quality.

city were good but then when you buy billions pounds worth of talent then you expect them to be. the whole team stood up to the test and although they lost, did fucking well. look at spurs or united, they were thrashed at home by city, we went to city and made them work hard. this team is improving, as i said earlier, conceded 3 goals in the last 6 games. wenger pulled it out the bag in the summer and now we need to kick. win the games that we should and then when the big boys turn up, see what happens

[Marc Overmars]

The frustrating thing is, although we're obviously a much stronger outfit these days, given the nature of the league at the moment there is every chance we may miss out on 4th. Long way to go though and we have every reason to think we can bounce back in style over the coming Xmas period.

Also have a twat as a ref helped them too, But then when you see what they bought off the bench and what we did you could say they edged it.

Great game to watch and we could have won it if the front 3 were more decisive. There was a few headless chicken moments when we got into the final third, 1 too many passes and no one really wanted to have a shot at times.

Ramsey pissed me off in the second half, couldnt control the ball for shit and started doing stupid fucking back heels and flicks that fucked up every single time!! FFS!!!

Walcott was shit bar 1 good shot, did fuck all else all game and then had the audacity to be annoyed when he got subbed. Twat.

Arshavin - ?

Chamakh - ???

We were crying out for AOC and Park to give RVP and Gerv some help on the attack, but for some reason Wenger thinks they still need to be taught how to kick a ball cause I cant see what other fucking reason there could be for not giving them a chance in the PL
