Kompany having a bit of a shocker.  He reminds me so much of Vidic.  A beast of a player who had a few years that were so good he was thought of as the best defender in the world, but as he's getting older becomes a little reckless and more error-prone.

Most announcers refer to Sanchez as "Sanchez", so for Arlo to continually refer to him as "Alexis" is rather unusual.

He's just coming back. I think he's just off the pace. Had a rough couple years though, seems like he's always just coming back and is slightly off the pace.

It's a cant win situation for pellegrini today. You play Aguero and Kompany and the team probably is off a bit as they seek cohesion, but you can't sit players of that quality against Arsenal

Best half from Arsenal in a big away match in a long time. Really good shape and discipline in midfield. You don't really ever want. Coquelin actually kicking the ball, but without the ball he really helps vis-a- vis Arteta or Flamini.
