Arsenal vs. Manchester City

0-0, Premier League, Emirates, 5/1 -11

A really frustrating draw, City had one objective, to keep the score-line at 0-0 and unfortunately we weren't sharp enough to score, or perhaps we weren't lucky enough, considering that we hit the posts three times! Honestly, I don't think that City had one shot at goal during the entire game...

The game got off to a bright start where we at once created a really good attack, though a defender got in between to get the ball away.
We had a lot of possession throughout the game and the performance was great, the only thing missing was the goals! The first time we hit the post was through a shot from van Persie, then it was Cesc's shot that hit the post and then the ball bounced to Theo who's shot hit the other post... You really can't get that very much closer to scoring!

In the second half it just looked worse and worse as it got harder and harder to break down City's defense. There is still a lot of positives to take from this game though, we played some brilliant football so as long as we can score from the chances we create we can beat anyone!

Injury Update;
-Gibbs has returned to training and might be in for the Leeds game on Saturday.
