It doesn't matter who starts and who sits on the bench, both teams did portrayed their best on the pitch, I guessed the best team wins. Manchester city have achieved quite alot during Pep Guardiola incharged, losing do happen to other elite clubs, and Manchester city was not exempted. The game was tough for both sides, the cityzens keep domination while the gunners were extremely defensive, securing their territory with everything they had. Mikel Arteta boosts the moral of the fans with additional potential new players in the squad, I would say that Arsenal is quite different from the one we met.
The movement of the summer transfer market has an immediate impact on the Arsenal squad, even if this is just the Community Shield trophy. This will add to Arsenal mentality going into the EPL next week, I think it's a lucky start for Arteta. Pep Guardiola is not disappointed with this result, because Man City has won the EPL and the Champions League.
This victory could be a sign for Man City, that Arsenal are worthy as equal opponents in the English Premier League, besides Man United and Chelsea.
