Man City 3 Ireland, Robinho, Sturridge
Arsenal 0
It is not a good title by any mean but the way things are going for Arsenal at the moment, the cloud of depression will be looming for a long, long time just like the monsoon clouds hanging over Kuala Terengganu at the moment.
The news that William Gallas has been stripped off his captaincy was received with a bit of joy but the French defender is not the only reason that we have performed so poorly as the display at the City of Manchester Stadium indicated.
It is like almost every single Arsenal players have gone off form with the names Gael Clichy and Denilson immediately came to mind.
Clichy gifted the goal against Sp*ds, could have headed past Manuel Almunia against Manure, finally completed the task against Aston Villa and last night's comedic tangle with Mikael Silvestre presented Steven Ireland with the opening Man City goal.
Denilson perhaps was asked to do a job that he is not really ready to do, yet but against Man City he was terribly poor, to put it mildly. There were numerous errors that I really wished that Arsene Wenger would take him off midway through the match.
Nicklas Bendtner had another poor game and perhaps Steve McMahon of ESPN-StarSports is right after all when assessing the Big Dane as a terrific Championship player but still not good enough to play in the Premier League.
With big matches coming up against Dynamo Kyiv and Chelsea it is very important for Wenger to get his thoughts right and come up with a good solution to the mess that we are in right now.
Being optimistic, I do feel that we are still within a shout with the rest of the table toppers but things really have to turn around in order to ensure we keep our place in the top four again this season.
Perhaps Arsene should go British again to be at the heart of his midfield and the player who would fit the bill is Aaron Ramsey who made Arsenal looked much livelier when he came on for Gavin Hoyte.
The recently capped Welsh international could be alternated with Jack Wilshere partnering Cesc Fabregas. Both of them showed a lot of quality and perhaps their British hearts could fire things up for Arsenal.
If you really believe in youth, give this suggestion a try, Arsene!

What a shock! City is a team capable of beating the top four with skillful player like Robinho in the team, any mistake happened in the back line will be punished immediately.B eaten Gunners 3 goals to nothing is absolutely wonderful result for Hughes's men. Arsenal only left to blame themselves of the poor performance. Against Chelsea I believe Arsenal will bounch back.
