Told you. None of our midfield players from last season should stay. Play torreira and guendouzi with LMAO. Start Lich instead of bellerin. Give AMN and Nelson more time .

city xi:

leno; bellerin, sokratis, chambers, AMN; torreira, guendouzi; micki, özil, auba; lacazette

only question mark is whether torreira is 100%

These back 4 really worries me. I would rather have holding than chambers.

Yes cech is the better choice to play city. City may have a lot shots with 6 yards and cech is so good at it.

Not a bad game ,not a bad game at all. I saw a lot of training ground stuff that was practised in game. Mostly it was the build up play from the back.The attack is still a mess and inconsistent due to player changes , no patterns formed yet.And no starting 11 decided.SO in good time attack will work itself out.

Chambers and Holding have taken to the plays way better than the other cbs. There was some good stuff building up from the back. We have definitely not built from the back like that under wenger to my memeory. The way players positionally moved had confidence in passing at the back using the goalie. The cbs splitting themselves for the holding player to come pick up the ball was big change. Opened up the pitch and gave players time on the ball and into free spaces. Also works nicely for counters. Really good stuff.

Leno is fast across the box really fast. He's gonna pull of some silly saves in the league. Overall not a bad game ,not a great game you could see parts of the training happening on field. Its gonna take a while once confidence and game wins happen bit ,by bit emerys style will be imprinted in the team.Its gonna take a while for us to look good there is going to be a lot of meh 1/2-0 games like this.But with each game improvements will happen.

Mustafi over Sokratis and I agree. Cech could play too, don't mind too much either way.

It’s a complete waste of time to carry the ball the full length of the pitch, if you are not going to do anything with it.

He invariably either shoots wide, runs into a blind alley, or plays a poor pass.
