Manchester City Vs. Arsenal: Not Much Going On

This game is very good but there's not actually that much going on in the way of chances. Arsenal are pinging it around beautifully but haven't broken through the Manchester City lines since that amusing Gervinho derp early on. It is very pretty to watch, but it'd be nice if someone scored soon.

Santi Cazorla gets a chance at a shot when Vincent Kompany fouls Aaron Ramsey about 30 yards out, but Joe Hart's able to get down to save the free kick. It was going to hit the post anyway. Meanwhile, Scott Sinclair's been something closely approximating useless on the wings (and the centre, for that mater) so far. He's got to step things up if he wants to keep a place in the starting lineup.

If all of these lovely passes are boring you, here’s a fun game to occupy your time: Try to spot the Arsenal captain’s armband. Hint: It’s impossible.
