Mikel Arteta still defending with Kai Havertz as main striker than replace him with Eddie Nketiah, left more than 40 minutes later actually will get change due Arsenal not any player change on first half. Arsenal under pressure from Manchester City on the first half with ball possession dominance but Arsenal leaded with shot on target. Until 90 minutes without any goals from both teams between Arsenal or Manchester City match automatically extend with penalty kick. I hope left 40 minutes both teams can scoring goals and less creativity with goals scoring due Arsenal and Manchester City are teams typical with attacking than defensive.
I thought the game would be more easier for the cityzens, but everything changed within time. Gunners got new players and new game performance. The results is still a surprise to me, watching Gunners taking the game to next level, tying their opponents down in the first half, 76minutes without a goal from both sides. The game still 0-0, Manchester City keep dominating and putting more pressure on Arsenal. Mikel Arteta standing up to Pep Guardiola this time, with fierce performance from both sides. City keeps pressuring, while gunners keeps defending, so the game is quite understandable and balanced.
I watched the match from beginning till the end Arsenal had really improved on their game with their new signings the trio of Timber, Havertz and Declan Rice live up to expectations especially Timber who was very solid at the left back shortly after he was substituted Man City scored the opening goal by Palmer, however I think Man City had a slight domination compared to their previous meetings when they used to take most of the possessions and Haaland was kept quiet in most part of the match, winning the community shield will boost the morale of Arsenal players in readiness for the league proper next weekend.
