Well anyway to the match!...For me,There were four main players that made the absolute made the difference with Nasri being one,Song,Chamakh and Fabregas and it was also a wonderful showing from Fabianski(Almost left him out haha)...He really dealt well with the pressure he had from the club to once again made an sensational apperance for him.Arsenal could have letten in about 3 to 4 goals easily if not for his heroics.He also made a save which i haven't seen done by an Arsenal Keeper for a long long time!..Saving with one hand!...Can you imagine that! LMAO! It will be a big big confidence for him and a goal by The clown of the club Bendtner also certainly would boost his Confidence that he indeed is a striker and not a clown.
For a start,Chelsea already lost to them at the stadium this season.So Arsenal so called being Weaker wouldn't be a problem.And it was going all to plan with The eastlanders keeping possession till Boyata made a clumsy tackle to change the flow of the game as Arsenal turned on their style to make City run like Kitty cats chasing mouse. Fabregas demonstrated why he is one of the best midfielders in the world by playing a wonderful through ball for Chamakh. The impressive centre forward who i guessed cut his hair to end the mockery of him being a chicken was clattered just outside the area by Boyata when he was clean through at their goal. There was only one outcome, a red card for the defender and a free kick for us which Fabregas wasted by playing it short to Arshavin instead of having a pop at their goal.(You know Arshavin isn't good with players around him).
Credit to Man City, they played out of their skins to make sure playing a man short did not affect their game, putting lots of effort and tackles in with De jong being his usual self being a mean machine terrorizing The small gunners.But that didn't Face the Maturing Arsenal team in the 20th minute as a neat 1-2 play from Nasri Between Arshavin and finishing off with a powerful roof tearing shot to make it A surprising lead for the gunners,Don't mind the lack of cheering after that goal..The gunners fans were at the other side of the field :P.But it did make me think it was offside at first or out.Silly me.
The referee had a card frenzy in the middle of the half showing cards to mostly the gunners Midfielders to probably even out the Red card he showed to Boyata.But late late into the half,The referee had no chance to award a penalty to Arsenal as A cheeky move by Fabregas was wrongly Judge By Boyata's fellow Countrymen Kompany who didn't seem happy but well ain't we all?..Up stepped up the Spaniard but his shot was greatly dealt by the number 1 English keeper Joe Hart to keep the Chase on
.In the second half Arsenal started playing and when i mean play it means the Arsenal style of play or the way queen Sheeba plays i should say, passing the ball intelligently pulling the opposing team all over the park. That’s how you play against a team with a man sent off and I knew as the game went on they would run out of steam chasing shadows.You can't face against A team which the longest serving player being there for 7 years and only being 23!...Got the picture?.
Fabregas had missed a great opening when he tamely shot into their goalie’s hands when it seemed like all our other forwards refused to take shot before him after another great Arsenal move as Man city defence once again were eating Arsenal's Dust.
Am i talking to much about Arsenal?...Oh sorry then!...Well Man City you've got to admit with all that quality players they definitely wouldn't be so affected by that that sending off and Well David Silva who did last game against Blackpool once again gave that positive impact during the game but Fabianski denying him couple of times,Adebayor Also being denied and Last one Being Kompany with that probably being the best save of the match which surprised me!
I was never this affirmed of an Arsenal win in like Forever,Cause trust me! Weak teams have outdone us before and top 4 head to head haven't been good.And there were only a goal up,And that relaxation became to pure delight as Arshavin’s cross field ball found Nasri on the right, he laid the ball back to Fabregas just outside their box, the Spaniard played one of his through balls to Chamakh again. As the classy forward hustled and bustled with two defenders for position, the ball broke loose and Song who seems to make a lot of forward runs these days was on hand to slam the ball to the top corner in the 65th minute, 2-0, game over and yeah Bridge wasn't the cost of the goal,it was just pure skill haha. Arshavin making a real impression as he was in hand with the 2 goals.
The opposition soon slowed down as even Balloteli couldn't find an answer to the Rock solid defense of Arsenal(Not everyday we can say that).Adebayor Was also embarrassed by his old club as they made it look like he miss an open goal and also and open header flying over the bar.Although i think they could have brough on Adam Johnson to make some speed available but Mancini had other plans
As everything seemed to be over,Nasri did well to Stop the ball from going out from a poor pass from his teammate with City busy trying to influence the referee that it was out gave the chance for Nasri to lay a delightful ball to split the defence and Bendtner scoring well one on one with the keeper for a third and well game over.Great win and that takes them to second while city down to fourth.
