EPL: Arsenal 0-2 Manchester City
Yesterday, inward their firstly game of the novel Premier League season, Arsenal lost 2-0 to in conclusion year's Champions Manchester City. Unai Emery, the Gunners' novel caput charabanc since Arsene Wenger left the gild inward May afterward a 22 twelvemonth reign, has been given a existent baptism of fire.
His side went 1-0 downwardly afterward fourteen minutes when Raheem Sterling dribbled yesteryear Bellerin as well as the immature debutant midfielder Matteo Guendouzi to shoot powerfully from only exterior the box, beating Petr Cech. Emery's life inward the Premier League was non starting well. Gooners had already questioned his squad selection, amongst the Spaniard choosing to start Cech over Leno- a newly signed goalkeeper who arguably would cause got been ameliorate suited to playing amongst the ball at his feet, Xhaka over our novel defensive midfielder Lucas Torreira, as well as playing inward a 4-3-3 formation amongst Ozil on the wing. Oh, as well as he benched Alexandre Lacazette, whose link upwards play amongst Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang looked smashing inward pre-season as well as towards the destination of in conclusion season.

This is exclusively the beginning, let's all stick yesteryear the primary man |
His side went 1-0 downwardly afterward fourteen minutes when Raheem Sterling dribbled yesteryear Bellerin as well as the immature debutant midfielder Matteo Guendouzi to shoot powerfully from only exterior the box, beating Petr Cech. Emery's life inward the Premier League was non starting well.

Oh, as well as he benched Alexandre Lacazette, whose link upwards play amongst Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang looked smashing inward pre-season as well as towards the destination of in conclusion season.
Sterling was heavily criticised throughout the World Cup, but he was total of confidence at the Emirates |
Lacazette was finally brought on inward the 54th infinitesimal inward house of a pitiful Aaron Ramsey. I say finally, but a commutation earlier the 70th infinitesimal has been a rare occurrence inward recent years. Emery switched to a 4-2-3-1 formation, playing Aubameyang on the left wing, Ozil equally the release 10 as well as Micki on the right, amongst Lacazette upwards front. The Frenchman similar a shot made an impact. Aubameyang looked to a greater extent than costless as well as laid upwards Lacazette to almost score a one-half volley only a infinitesimal afterward coming onto the field.
However, only equally Arsenal looked on the forepart foot, they faltered. Guendouzi, who had coped pretty good on his debut as well as so far, missed the ball to allow Aguero inward one-on-one amongst Cech. Remarkably, the Argentine was non his park clinical self as well as Cech saved his shot well. Not that it mattered. No sooner had our release 1 stopped a goal, City surged forwards to score a second. Benjamin Mendy sprinted into the box to cross to Bernardo Silva who smashed the ball, as well as this fourth dimension Cech was helpless. What a sucker punch. Our hopes of a comeback faded, non fifty-fifty Torreira replacing Xhaka inward the 70th infinitesimal helped. It's telling that the Swiss midfielder came off rather than the inexperienced Guendouzi, it shows 1. how ineffective Xhaka was as well as 2. how highly Emery rates Matteo. Then again, Xhaka was 1 of many Gunners who massively under-performed yesterday, as well as so he should all the same hold upwards given a gamble to improve nether a novel coaching style.
And that's what I'd cause got from this match; Arsenal were made to facial expression sub-par against a squad that are at the top of their game, but nosotros shouldn't approximate them likewise harshly for it. Emery has clearly drilled into the players' minds that he wants them to function the ball out from the dorsum as well as shown them the manner of play he expects this season. Yes, it did non function for the bulk of the game, but non everything volition click over the infinite of a calendar month or as well as so of training. We postulate to plough over it fourth dimension as well as I intend nosotros could come across the squad blossom. I'm apparently non an practiced of the game, but I could come across the midfielders weren't actually giving the defenders options when they were on the ball as well as so it kept on going dorsum to Cech. This almost resulted inward a horrific ain goal when Petr tried to overstep to Bellerin, instead ending upwards spooning it yesteryear his ain goal post. Luckily it was only exterior as well as so it exclusively ended upwards beingness a corner.
Hopefully over the adjacent few months we'll come across Emery's manner of play start to click, to hold upwards honest I'm only happy that he's got a clear innovation he wants to implement here. Whilst he made only about Wenger-esque lineup decisions, these are going to happen. It could hold upwards weeks earlier he discovers his strongest lineup as well as who industrial plant good amongst who, although I intend it's clear nosotros postulate to start Lacazette as well as Aubameyang together. In price of the Cech vs Leno debate, Petr is non equally goodness amongst his feet as well as distributing to the defenders, but he made only about actually goodness saves yesterday as well as so possibly he deserves to start against Chelsea? Then again, what's the betoken of signing a goalkeeper that is able to play inward the manner you lot desire if you're non going to start him inward the of import games?
We were really pitiful away from habitation in conclusion season, peculiarly against the top 6, thence Saturday's gibe versus Chelsea at Stamford Bridge is going to hold upwards almost equally large a exam equally City were. I intend it's going to hold upwards at to the lowest degree to a greater extent than of an indicator of our progress as well as so far nether Emery. He has only about large decisions to brand over the adjacent week, but equally I've stated previously, I'm amongst him all the way. Let's all larn behind the team, present our back upwards as well as come across what happens! COME ON YOU GUNNERS!
Next fixture: Chelsea (a) Sat 18/8 K.O- 5:30pm

Matteo Guendouzi had a promising debut, considering he's xix and was battling a host of globe cast players |

Petr Cech almost scored an ain goal, but he made only about first-class saves |

Emery has a lot to intend most earlier facing Chelsea on Saturday |
