It was a do-or-die situation for Koscielny and with his mind collapse, he acted impulsively and made a rugby tackle on the big Dzeko who won't miss from 2 yards if he was through.
Red card? Is that too harsh? I think it's a fair decision by Mike Dean. Did you know that we have only won once in the last 13 matches that we've been "refed" by Mike Dean?
Moving on, the cautious Szczesny saved the penalty with his leg before grabbing it in his hands. After that, Arsenal collapse in mentality and City scored in the 21st and 31st minute. 2-0. Half time.
I have a soft spot for Wenger. Simply because his game plan was thrown out of the window after 10 minutes. Is the rest of the game worth writing about?
Arsenal wasn't even a team in the first half. They looked like 11 individuals, each with their own game plans in their heads. Second half though, there was more desire between the players and it looked like we could come up with something to save ourselves a point.
Still though, we were not bonded enough. Carzorla played his passing game, Wilshere ran, Walcott silent. It was not coming together for Arsenal.
Wilshere was the heartbeat for Arsenal. His run, despite losing possession most of the time, was really refreshing to see and built up the momentum well for Arsenal. His commitment and passion was unmatchable. Hope he can do it against Swansea again this week.
