@Psychotic - I see; was just surprised because Liverpool hammered Spurs last week but as proven from time to time again, that doesn't mean anyting in EPL; any team at a given day can surprise or fall short.

Could have gone either way, but I feel a draw is a fair result for the effort put in. Wilshere did well in the second half, but honestly why Sanchez didn't get MotM I'll never know, the guy was the best player on the pitch for the whole game, and his work rate is second to none.
Yeah, it was a very high quality game; City looked dangerous in the counter attack, and they had a party from the left side (why wasn't Gibbs on instead of Monreal? That had me like whut, but idk, maybe he wasn't 100% and his services are needed for the upcoming Dortmund fixture) but we showed guts to come back, and fought hard.
I thought the Debuchy injury affected us quite a bit and we conceded from yet another set piece, but well, what can you do?

Alexis is a beast, he's a machine. I absolutely love the guy, his work rate is exceptional and his volley was amazing but Jack was simply outstanding today; he was everywhere, felt like Ramsey at his prime from last year and a bit more. (I would say it would be a tie between those two, for MotM, but a bit more on Jack)

Ozil was flat, and so was Ramsey, I feel like if either of those had stepped it up a bit we could have won it; Monreal was mediocre, but can't blame the guy. That's the best he can do, we do need Gibbo back asap.
Welbeck had a good debut, and he was extremely unlucky the post denied him.

Anyway, it was a draw but the performance was inspiring; onwards and upwards.
