The game: A cold realism worthy of a future champion
The fans at Emirates Stadium attended a timid beginning of the match Gunners. Blocked by a team of Citizens in place, Arsenal managed to score on his only two real opportunities of the first period. After the break, the Londoners were released and made some high-class collective action with the inevitable Özil to the stick. However, they lived a somewhat messy end of the match after the goal Touré (82). The only sour note of the evening for them against a team of City, which has seen far too many air holes throughout the game.
Players: Mangala is very disturbing
Six months before Euro 2016, it is considered a central defense in action for the Blues in the eyes of Didier Deschamps. The tricolor coach has reason to be worried before the performance Mangala against Arsenal. The back of City missed its stimulus on the purpose of Giroud and partner of the hinge, Otamendi, has done nothing to restore confidence afterward. They are not the only ones to be passed through to the image of any Silva and Yaya Toure without going for an hour. Gunners side, Ramsey has been huge in midfield. Koscielny was able muzzle Agüero and Giroud scored his seventh goal in their last nine Premier League games. And we can not forget the new masterly performance of Özil, author of his 14th and 15th assists of the season.

What could have changed everything
David Silva was furious. On against express and subtle deviation of Aguero, De Bruyne escapes right side. The Belgian international chooses individual solution does not fit his cross hits (32), while Silva was lonely in the surface. On the next action, Özil finds Walcott for the opening goal.
The stat: 101
There are still two games to play Gunners in 2015 but they have already surpassed the 100 goals scored this year bar. Giroud scored Monday night 101st realization of his club in all competitions.
The tweet that will not make fun Mangala
The question: Can the Gunners fold the title race during the year-end holidays?
Manchester City to four points, Manchester United seven points not to mention Chelsea eighteen … See Arsenal before all his main rivals in the title race at this stage of the season, without insulting the Leader Leicester, this n ‘ happened only once in their last five Premier League seasons. It was during the 2013-2014 season … but that had not prevented the Gunners to settle for fourth place in the final. “ It’s too early to talk about the title but it is there. This championship is very complicated, it makes prudent “, advanced with Wenger caution.

Cech’s teammates have the opportunity not to repeat the same mistakes (two heavy slaps suffered against Liverpool 5-1 and Chelsea 6-0) this year especially with a favorable schedule (Southampton, Bournemouth, Newcastle) for one the turning of the season in England: the end of year celebrations that could allow him to return to Leicester and increase his lead over his pursuers. Qualifying for the knockout stages of the Champions League against Olympiakos in early London transfigured training, which continues to chart its course despite numerous absences holders (Cazorla, Coquelin or Wilshere).
After relapse in training before the shock, Alexis Sanchez refouler not land until mid-January. Even this kind of bad news does not seem to shake Arsene Wenger. This is perhaps the novelty in the Arsenal coach, who still hopes to become English champions twelve years after the unforgettable Invincibles team led by Henry and Pires.
