    There's a fair few Arsenal players who don't look likr they even want the ball now. Just blow the whistle ref. Still 10 minutes left as well.

    Kevin de Bruyne has a shot saved by Bernd Leno. It's paper-thin the resistance out there. Ederson could probably bring it out and have a shot. Thousands of fans are leaving.

    It's a shambles of a display really. Heartless, gutless.

    David Nicholson Hirst: Foden gets only 50mins....time to ask for a transfer now...best player England has produced in years and Guardiola just doesnt trust him

    Phillip: Even from a neutral point of view, it's absurd seeing Arsenal play this way.

    Freddie Ljungberg is talking about finishing in the top four, is he mad? That's pie in the sky stuff, it really is. They are miles off. It's like a training game for Manchester City. They are at half pace and strolling.

    Chris Sutton says Arsenal need to appoint a new manager 'not this month, not this week, but tonight.'

    We don't think that will happen by the way as Raheem Sterling has a shot charged down. Again, he had so much room.

    Into the last 20 minutes of this really odd Premier League game. It's almost like a pre-season match. There's just nothing to it. Flat as you like.

    Riyad Mahrez on for Ilkay Gundogan. Arsenal's stand-in full-backs will enjoy that one.

    Arsenal 0-3 Manchester City

    A ridiculous passage of play from the visitors, they kept the ball for about two whole minutes there, under little pressure but the patterns of play and pass and move from the men in black is hugely impressive. The move ends with a corner which Kevin de Bruyne curls into the grateful arms of Bernd Leno.

    Still 25 minutes to go. Can Arsenal at least get one back to give their fans something to remember them by...?

    Abdul: How can Kevin De Bruyne run in a straight line with no challenge from the centre towards the Arsenal box?

    Freddie is far too relaxed in the dugout for someone who supposedly wants the job. I mean show some passion! Compare him to Big Duncan earlier on. The team feeds off the energy the manager brings!

    Mikel Arteta, despite the scoreline, has been caught on camera looking pensive and anxious.

    If that's what he looks like while he is Manchester City's assistant manager, imagine what he would be like if he actually became manager of this Arsenal team?

  13. GREAT SAVE!published at 17:50 Greenwich Mean Time 15 December 2019

    Arsenal 0-3 Manchester City

    Another big save from Bernd Leno! Arsenal cough up the ball up, Gabriel Jesus is in on goal and should score but Leno makes the stop.

    Then at the other end Nicolas Pepe is just pulled back by Benjamin Mendy. Booked.

  14. YELLOW CARDpublished at 17:49 Greenwich Mean Time 15 December 2019

    Arsenal 0-3 Manchester City

    Emile Smith Rowe looks to run at Arsenal, KDB style but Ilkay Gundogan chops him down at the waist on halfway. The sort of challenge Arsenal could do with from time to time. He's booked.

  15. SUBSTITUTION - Ozil offpublished at 17:47 Greenwich Mean Time 15 December 2019

    Arsenal 0-3 Manchester City

    Mesut Ozil rolls up his gloves and walks off as Arsenal send on Emile Smith Rowe. There's a mixture of applause and boos as he trudges off, before he volleys his gloves towards the bench in frustration. Big Per Mertesacker offers him an arm of consolation.

    It's no Xhaka-gate but it's not great.

    I think that's an odd decision. I don't think that there is an injury. I think Phil Foden should have been given longer. It's not good for his development. I mean 3-0 up, strolling, let him play.

    Close him down, close him down, GET INTO HIM...!!

    Kevin de Bruyne can run from the halfway line absolutely unattended, the defence back off and back off and in the end he shoots left-footed into the shins of Calum Chambers.

    Arsenal need a defensive midfielder to replace Patrick Vieira or Gilberto one of these days...
