    More impressed wkth Rodri breaking the Premier League record for fastest instance of pathetic cheating in a game - just 1 second in.

    The thing I find really weird, is that he's not actually that good a footballer, relatively speaking. He's just a superhuman in front of goal. He doesn't need to really be any good. He just needs one chance and it's the back of net. I'm not convinced he's human. I think he's a cyborg.

    Wow, that Arsenal goal was unreal!
    Haaland sees the goal and scores, amazing century!

    Just imagine him ripping it up in League One when they're hit with a double relegation!

    He would have 10 more goals a season if they could read his runs even better.

    We are witnessing probably the greatest ever goalscorer the English top flight has ever seen.

    Id be absolutely furious if we conceded that first goal. How far away they took that free kick from where the foul was. Not sure who's fault it was on Walkers behalf however, if the ref was still speaking to him its hardly fair though. But that free kick was abysmal refereeing - beautiful strike though and its made for a great game

    Trossard has lost the game for Arsenal there.
    Stupid, especially after Rice got done for something similar the other week.

    can’t see them shutting out city for 45 minutes with 10 men.

    Gunners will win this....very strong defensively.
    I think the Villa game convinced me how good they are....proper testvwith 10 ....but imho good enough.
    They can also score from every set piece/ corner....wish we had their setbpiece coach!

    Very rarely free kicks are taken from the exact spot in a team’s own half. Walker has an argument the ref left him out of position though.

    They'll just continue to do what they're already doing, just sit back and let city play in front of them but take even fewer risks now. With Arsenals brilliant defence it genuinely wouldn't surprise me to see Arsenal still win this game. Theyre doubling up on Doku and Savio but obviously won't be able to do it against Savio now so be interesting

    To be fair, Watkins missed 2 sitters there. That was more on Villa than Arsenals defence. But I think Arsenal have the best defence in the world

    True, but with his pace you'd expect him to get forward quicker!

    Set up like a training match now. Intriguing but not as exciting as the 11 vs 11 of the first half.

    Could do a job for us. He'd get on the end of a lot of those long missiles Baz launches.

    Don't think I've ever seen any game more defence against attack it's like a training ground drill.

    Should be a showpiece game this but has descended into 5-4-0 vs a team passing from left-to-right on the edge of the 18 yard box
