:00:33. > :00:36.Toure, what a run, what a player! , Kompany scored!
:00:37. > :00:45.Manchester City have their crown back.
:00:46. > :00:52.In added time here at Wembley. The moment that will clinch the first
:00:53. > :01:00.trophy for nine years for Arsene Wenger. Arsenal have won the FA Cup.
:01:01. > :01:07.Good evening. It was a happy trip to Wembley Stadium. Just three months
:01:08. > :01:11.ago for Arsenal, finally ending that long wait for a major trophy. Now
:01:12. > :01:15.they are back looking to add another, taking on the Premier
:01:16. > :01:20.League champions, Manchester City. Both sides will be looking to get
:01:21. > :01:26.the momentum going ahead of this weekend's big Premier League kick
:01:27. > :01:28.off. So let's join our commentary team of Martin Keogh I
:01:29. > :01:34.off. So let's join our commentary team of don't know and Steve Wilson
:01:35. > :01:38.-- Keown and Steve Wilson. You can never win too many trophies
:01:39. > :01:41.at Wembley. Arsenal and Manchester City are likely to be
:01:42. > :01:47.shoulder-to-shoaleder in the hunt for more silverware this season. The
:01:48. > :01:52.FA Community Shield supported by McDonalds is a good way to start.
:01:53. > :01:58.None of Arsenal's three German World Cup winners or Manchester City's
:01:59. > :02:05.three Argentine runners up are here. But FA Cup winners Arsenal can
:02:06. > :02:09.unveil Sanchez, Debuchy and Chambers making debuts and Sanogo is
:02:10. > :02:12.preferred to Giroud upfront. He scored four against Benfica in
:02:13. > :02:20.pre-season. Champions City have not included
:02:21. > :02:24.Kompany, Lampard or former Arsenal fullback, Sagna in their squad. Joe
:02:25. > :02:28.Hart doesn't make the team. Pelgreeny has two number one
:02:29. > :02:35.keepers, he says, if that makes sense and Caballero gets the
:02:36. > :02:38.Northwest nod today. Jovetic has scored five in
:02:39. > :02:49.pre-season and starts alongside Dzeko.
:02:50. > :02:58.Manchester City from right-to-left, all in sky blue against Arsenal in
:02:59. > :03:11.red and white. And Yaya Toure has it for Manchester City. Here is Boyata.
:03:12. > :03:15.Won the Charity Shield or Community Shield 11 times outright Arsenal.
:03:16. > :03:23.Only Manchester United and Liverpool have won it more than the Gunners.
:03:24. > :03:35.Ramsey. Sanogo. Debuchy. Well found. Nasri getting back.
:03:36. > :03:42.An chose from Ramsey. Wants to return. Cleverly played. Here is
:03:43. > :03:46.Debuchy. Did well to get across it. Sanogo nearly got something on it.
:03:47. > :03:59.Not out of woods yet, Manchester City. Cazorla. Arteta. Ramsey.
:04:00. > :04:05.Sanchez. Good play from Arsenal. Debuchy's cross too high for Sanogo.
:04:06. > :04:22.On the back foot Manchester City. Gibbs. Arteta. Wilshere.
:04:23. > :04:36.Sanchez. Jovetic. Chambers did well. Good play by Arsenal. Yes, very
:04:37. > :04:43.good. Mesmerizing passing. Just about stays on. Debuchy impressed me
:04:44. > :04:47.here. He gets that ball on. Defending well there, Clichy. Those
:04:48. > :05:03.two will be very pleased with what they have seen so far. Kolarov.
:05:04. > :05:21.Clichy. Nicely played. Navas to the by line. Dzeko left it. Nasri hit
:05:22. > :05:28.it. There was a claim for handball. Jovetic thought it was worth a
:05:29. > :05:39.shout. Brilliant turn from Kolarov. Kolarov Manchester City. Koscielny.
:05:40. > :05:50.. Fernandinho it it. -- Fernando hit it. Here is the shot from Nasri.
:05:51. > :05:54.Hits it from close range. The referee might want to give it. He's
:05:55. > :05:59.not even in a Manchester City kit but it's strange seeing him in a
:06:00. > :06:05.Manchester City tie Frank Lampard, alongside Aguero. He's in blue.
:06:06. > :06:13.That's where it stops. He would never have believeded this time last
:06:14. > :06:21.year he was on his way to Man City. Fernando chasing him.
:06:22. > :06:34.Wilshere. Gibbs. Neat little one-two. Clichy. Gibbs is in the
:06:35. > :07:02.mood. It was Clichy's pass that got his team in trouble.
:07:03. > :07:19.Ramsey. Sanchez. Sanogo. Play on, says the referee. He might profit.
:07:20. > :07:21.Oh, he does! Cazorla. He gives the FA Cup winners the lead over the
:07:22. > :07:35.Premier League champions. Good advantage played here as well
:07:36. > :07:47.by the referee because he could have given a free kick here. Intricate
:07:48. > :07:57.passing edge of the box. 1-0 Arsenal. Little swivel on to his
:07:58. > :08:12.left foot. Delightful finish by the Spaniard. Arsenal deservedly are in
:08:13. > :08:18.front. Debuchy back to goalkeeper Chesney who's been pretty much a
:08:19. > :08:25.spectator -- Szczesny. Gibbs. Goal scorer Cazorla neatly and quickly.
:08:26. > :08:32.Cazorla again and Sanogo. Puts it wide. Chance for the young man. That
:08:33. > :08:36.would have been absolutely brilliant. Sublime play from
:08:37. > :08:48.Arsenal. Through-ball to Sanogo. Hits it early. Only thing he doesn't
:08:49. > :09:06.do is put it in the back of the net. And he's disappointed. Navas.
:09:07. > :09:12.Wilshere. Cazorla. On to Sanchez. Five in this attack, Arsenal.
:09:13. > :09:32.Sanchez not quite. Fernando. Driven in. Cazorla seeing the chance.
:09:33. > :09:37.Corner. Clichy the man with the block or
:09:38. > :09:40.half block. Chambers, Koscielny and Sanogo. Sanchez is inside the six
:09:41. > :10:00.yard box. Didn't get the contact he was
:10:01. > :10:10.looking for, the Arsenal striker. . Hit him on the shoulder.
:10:11. > :10:17.Gibbs got a foot in. Koscielny. Lovely ball. Sanchez. Ramsey's
:10:18. > :10:29.sticking with Sanchez. Sanogo's there. Ramsey. Cazorla is arriving
:10:30. > :10:40.to Ramsey's left. Sanchez. Boyata. Navas for Manchester City.
:10:41. > :10:44.Dzeko. Jovetic. Good ball. Kolarov. Jovetic in the middle. Didn't quite
:10:45. > :10:53.come to Nasri and it's cleared by Gibbs. Almost got through there,
:10:54. > :10:57.Manchester City. Good ball in. Eludes the Arsenal defenders, just
:10:58. > :11:13.bubbles up and Nasri can't get on the end of it. Here is the spray for
:11:14. > :11:29.the first time on an English field. The crowd love it. It's not quite
:11:30. > :11:47.straight but never mind. Toure is going to have a pop. Fernando back
:11:48. > :11:52.to Toure. Nasri. Kolarov. Nasri. Jovetic trying to squeeze it
:11:53. > :11:57.through. Arteta can find Cazorla. Handball by Fernando. The referee
:11:58. > :12:06.thought so too. Very pleased that we are going to get the spray in the
:12:07. > :12:20.Premier League this season. Here is Gibbs. And still. Navas sticking
:12:21. > :12:27.with him. Ramsey. Sanogo was waiting. Sanogo making a nuisance of
:12:28. > :12:32.himself here. Manchester City with Fernando finds Dzeko and they might
:12:33. > :12:37.continue here. Jovetic. Dzeko's made something of this. He got away from
:12:38. > :12:42.Chambers. Dzeko here. Jovetic couldn't quite get away from
:12:43. > :12:48.Koscielny. Foul by Sanchez. Manchester City
:12:49. > :12:52.have a free kick. They did ever so well. Just that counterattack,
:12:53. > :12:57.Chambers there, getting down on the right hand side. That little
:12:58. > :12:59.question mark, when Arsenal are attacking, it's about leaving the
:13:00. > :13:03.right numbers back to be able to deal with that. Manchester City seem
:13:04. > :13:15.to be realising the opportunity. Fernando. Toure. Nasri. Kolarov.
:13:16. > :13:30.Dangerous. Wilshere. Sanchez. Wilshere is down.
:13:31. > :13:44.Lovely ball by Sanchez. Sanogo. Still and Ramsey and Ramsey for 2-0!
:13:45. > :13:53.Arran Ramsey doubles Arsenal's lead. On the counterattack and Arsene
:13:54. > :13:57.Wenger's side are two to the good. Brilliant from Ramsey. Look at the
:13:58. > :14:04.distance he covers. Sanchez holding it, waiting for him. Sanogo stay on
:14:05. > :14:10.side. Uses his power and strength, Sanogo. Hook at the patience, waits
:14:11. > :14:16.for his chance, he's really punished Man City there. Sanogo holding up
:14:17. > :14:24.nicely. Lovely little flick there from Ramsey. Lifts it over the top
:14:25. > :14:36.of the defender's foot. Beautiful. Punishes them into the corner.
:14:37. > :14:44.Arsenal sweeping around Wembley's goal.
:14:45. > :14:48.They can break again here. Sanogo, back into Sanchez who is on side
:14:49. > :14:59.here. Caballero did ever so well for Manchester City. Sanchez watched
:15:00. > :15:02.that one-in. Unbelievable. Great ball from Sanogo. Times his run and
:15:03. > :15:06.all credit to the keeper because he has to get to that. He's done ever
:15:07. > :15:15.so well here, Caballero for Manchester City.
:15:16. > :15:21.Toure. Dzeko. Lovely first touch to Silva, looking for Navas. Important
:15:22. > :15:27.header from Monreal. Navas was in behind but City asking a few
:15:28. > :15:31.questions. Clichy. Silva. No surprise if Silva inspired City to
:15:32. > :15:36.better things. Toure. Monreal's already been busy in a few moments
:15:37. > :15:41.since he came up. Did well there, Monreal.
:15:42. > :15:45.Delayed his tackle on Toure. You can already see Manchester City
:15:46. > :15:53.have improved since half time. Navas. Was he fouled by Giroud? No.
:15:54. > :16:00.Wilshere. Ramsey. Jack Wilshere. He was fouled. The referee, Michael
:16:01. > :16:05.Oliver, is having words with Fernando. That's the first yellow
:16:06. > :16:08.card coming out. He's just pulled Wilshere back.
:16:09. > :16:13.Absolutely no need. He can have no complaints. Look at this. Puts an
:16:14. > :16:18.arm on his shoulder. Fernando actually served a 12-month
:16:19. > :16:20.international ban in 2007 for assaulting a referee at the South
:16:21. > :16:45.American under 20 Championships. Another free kick here for Jovetic
:16:46. > :16:50.or Wilshere. Wilshere tends to draw these fouls out of opponents. Late
:16:51. > :16:58.releasing the ball. That's why he's got so many injuries over the years.
:16:59. > :17:09.Monreal. Cazorla. Gibbs. Ramsey. Beautifully done.
:17:10. > :17:20.Ricochetted off Fernando. A few shouts for handball. Arsenal get the
:17:21. > :17:25.throw. Lovely balance by Ramsey. It span round. This was the appeal
:17:26. > :17:31.for handball against Fernando. Again it's happening so quickly.
:17:32. > :17:35.That hits him on the chest. Yes. Shoulder, rather than the arm. Dzeko
:17:36. > :17:52.forward finding Silva. Toure. Navas. Too high for Dzeko. Attacked at the
:17:53. > :17:58.back post and it's off the post from Jovetic and the rebound is wide. Hit
:17:59. > :18:05.the wood work. Jovetic has had a very good pre-season. Getting on the
:18:06. > :18:10.end of this. Powerful header. I think it's a great save in the end.
:18:11. > :18:50.Maybe it did hit the post. Nice touch from Silva. Yeovil touch.
:18:51. > :19:00.Chance here. Good save by Szczesny. Kolarov getting forward was the
:19:01. > :19:10.problem for Arsenal. -- Jovetic. Look at that. That is as good a save
:19:11. > :19:17.as you'll see. It's a reaction save. Here is Yaya Toure. Finding Jovetic.
:19:18. > :19:31.Fernando. Silva. Kolarov. Kolarov might reach
:19:32. > :19:42.that. Szczesny got there and it's a goal kick. Going to be a double
:19:43. > :19:50.substitution here for Manchester City. Milner is coming on, number 7,
:19:51. > :19:56.and less familiar to you will be number 36, Bruno Zucullini,
:19:57. > :19:59.21-year-old Argentine signed from a club for ?3 million. He's been
:20:00. > :20:09.involved in pre-season and done well. His brother plays for Bologna,
:20:10. > :20:23.his older brother, Franco. Giroud. Good try. Fantastic goal
:20:24. > :20:28.from Giroud. He's answered a few critics with
:20:29. > :20:34.that one. Who said I wasn't fit, that is what he is saying.
:20:35. > :20:39.Unbelievable. He's got no right to score from there. Incredible finish.
:20:40. > :20:46.Look at this. A real opportunist effort. Gives himself space.
:20:47. > :20:53.Fantastic shot. The power and swerve on it. Taken a little deflection I
:20:54. > :20:57.think just as he hits this. Nastasic coming across, I think it just
:20:58. > :21:01.flicked off Nastasic's foot. The keeper is flailing after that. It's
:21:02. > :21:06.a wonderful finish. Perfect for his confidence. Arsenal 3, Manchester
:21:07. > :21:24.City 0. Clichy. Zucullini. Silva. Lovely
:21:25. > :21:33.typical Silva turn. Zucullini almost on to it, but Arteta can find
:21:34. > :21:41.Wilshere who wriggles through too. Wilshere picking himself up. I think
:21:42. > :21:48.he'll be OK. 3-0 to Arsenal. This is nearer to Wenger's first choice 11
:21:49. > :21:55.than it is to Pellegrini's. Navas to Silva. Definitely. I still feel
:21:56. > :22:02.there will be a reaction from City. Clichy's ball in.
:22:03. > :22:13.It's good for their confidence to win a game like this. If they lose,
:22:14. > :22:18.it's part of pre-season. The overhead kick doesn't come off. Is
:22:19. > :22:23.it the end of pre-season or the beginning of the season. I suppose
:22:24. > :22:30.the answer is, it depends if you win or not. Exactly. The emphatic
:22:31. > :22:33.message if it stays like this, the three Germans aren't even here and
:22:34. > :22:46.you are 3-0 up against the champions.
:22:47. > :22:52.Boyata for Manchester City who've now accepted the inevitable.
:22:53. > :23:02.Zucullini. Looking for Sinclair. Picked up by Silva. Sinclair. Not
:23:03. > :23:14.much of an angle. Put behind for a corner. Debuchy's got a bit of
:23:15. > :23:21.cramp. Scored a hat trick here for Swansea many the play-off finals.
:23:22. > :23:33.Put it just wide. It's a tremendous leap. Just over
:23:34. > :23:38.the top of Szczesny. Probably the only thing he's done wrong. Just
:23:39. > :23:45.hesitated. Lucky not to be punished. The two of them climbed. Came off
:23:46. > :23:51.the back of Boyata's head, rather than Richards'. Zucullini forward.
:23:52. > :23:56.Sinclair and Szczesny had to use his head, literally. The refer yes's
:23:57. > :24:04.whistle has denied Manchester City the chance to do something with the
:24:05. > :24:12.follow-up, but Szczesny here is down. Fantastic run from Sinclair.
:24:13. > :24:18.Szczesny's coming out with his head, outside of his box. Chipped in.
:24:19. > :24:20.Lovely run, gets there first and not sure Sinclair's done a lot wrong
:24:21. > :24:37.there. Maybe he caught Szczesny. Szczesny would appear to be OK. A
:24:38. > :24:42.couple of added minutes on to what was already added time. Chambers
:24:43. > :24:50.will take the free kick for his keeper.
:24:51. > :25:07.Oxlade-Chamberlain to Flamini. Gibbs. Monreal.
:25:08. > :25:19.Off side on the far side. Zucullini for Manchester City who've
:25:20. > :25:26.been well beaten today. I think it was the way they started the game,
:25:27. > :25:31.second half they were a lot better. It was the first half display where
:25:32. > :25:41.Arsenal moved the ball beautifully well. Sanchez in his right position
:25:42. > :25:50.moving well for his team. Debuchy. Fernando clipping it away.
:25:51. > :26:12.Milner. Gibbs. Nastasic. Clichy. And the
:26:13. > :26:19.2014 FA Community Shield has been won by Arsene Wenger and Arsenal.
:26:20. > :26:24.The FA Cup winners beat the Premier League champions and deservedly so.
:26:25. > :26:29.Arsenal good value for their victory. Cazorla with the first,
:26:30. > :26:34.Ramsey with the second and Giroud with a beautiful third. It's been a
:26:35. > :26:38.very good performance from the Gunners, Martin Keown, and having
:26:39. > :26:45.ended that nine-year trophy drought with the FA Cup last May, they'll be
:26:46. > :26:52.very happy to make it two. Without doubt that takes Arsene Wenger now
:26:53. > :26:57.on into a new season. He looks five years younger looking at him winning
:26:58. > :27:03.the FA Cup. It will be a nice photograph with the two trophies
:27:04. > :27:08.this year beneath his feet. It finishes at Wembley in the FA
:27:09. > :27:15.Community Shield supported by McDonald's. Arsenal 3, Manchester
:27:16. > :27:19.City 0. Aaron Ramsey, you must love this
:27:20. > :27:23.place, another Wembley goal? Yes, we want to play here every week, we've
:27:24. > :27:29.scored in the final and again today. So we are delighted with that. It
:27:30. > :27:33.put us in a good position going into the league now. What is the feeling
:27:34. > :27:37.like in the squad? Is there a feeling that you have a squad
:27:38. > :27:41.capable for winning a big massive title? I believe so. We came close
:27:42. > :27:45.last year, we knead to improve from last season against the big teams a
:27:46. > :27:49.way from home. We'll learn our lesson from last year and you will
:27:50. > :27:54.see a different Arsenal in the away games and I reckon we'll be there or
:27:55. > :27:58.thereabouts at the end. That's a big marker isn't it, beating Manchester
:27:59. > :28:00.City. Some may say it's only the Community Shield but you have beaten
:28:01. > :28:05.the Premier League champions? Absolutely. We come here preparing
:28:06. > :28:09.the right way, didn't treat it as a friendly, as a proper game, and we
:28:10. > :28:15.managed to to that and come out and win the game 3-0. Mikel, many
:28:16. > :28:19.congratulations, in many ways the perfect start to your season? Yes,
:28:20. > :28:24.at Wembley we wanted to start the season very strong as we finished
:28:25. > :28:28.and it's a good start against a top team. To win 3-0 here it's a special
:28:29. > :28:34.day. Made a terrific signing in Sanchez. What difference has he made
:28:35. > :28:39.around the place? Well, I think he creates momentum. You can notice the
:28:40. > :28:45.difference straightaway. He brings pace, experience and skill. The
:28:46. > :28:50.other teams will be scared of him. Your manager says you are a better
:28:51. > :28:53.side than last year. Do you get the feeling that you are potential title
:28:54. > :28:58.contenders this season? We have to be. The other teams have signed some
:28:59. > :29:01.top players, so it's going to be one of the most exciting Premier Leagues
:29:02. > :29:06.in years. We are ready for it and want to challenge all the teams. Not
:29:07. > :29:10.a bad start to your Arsenal career, got your hands on silverware? I
:29:11. > :29:15.know. To get nit the first competitive game, it's an amazing
:29:16. > :29:19.game, especially at Wembley. More of this for the coming year. What is
:29:20. > :29:24.the feeling like in the club? Can you go on from this? You've won the
:29:25. > :29:31.FA Cup and now the Community Shield. General title contenders? Yes, this
:29:32. > :29:34.team's got great bunches of players and there's great team spirit. We
:29:35. > :29:38.are all doing really well so we'll go into every game and give it our
:29:39. > :29:42.best. You have got some tremendous fight for places, haven't you? The
:29:43. > :29:47.World Cup winners coming back soon, Walcott is coming back, it's a squad
:29:48. > :29:51.capable of winning a major title? It's a strong squad. Competition for
:29:52. > :29:55.places is a good thing. It will make everyone want to play better and get
:29:56. > :29:59.in the team next week, so yes, I think we have got a strong team this
:30:00. > :30:04.year. You have slotted in nicely and looked like you enjoyed it? I did.
:30:05. > :30:14.Everyone's welcomed me and I can't thank them enough for that. So Mikel
:30:15. > :30:21.Arteta walks up the steps. Arsenal who didn't win a bean from 20005 to
:30:22. > :30:27.2014, but who ended that drought on 17th May, here at Wembley beating
:30:28. > :30:31.Hull City in the FA Cup final and who are back, just a few weeks'
:30:32. > :30:36.later to receive the FA Community Shield, supported by McDonald's, and
:30:37. > :30:37.to receive it from a man who knows all about Arsenal Football Club,
:30:38. > :30:49.from Pat Wright. A life-long association with the
:30:50. > :30:55.Gunners. He has done it all and seen it all. But you don't -- I don't
:30:56. > :31:02.remember him ever presenting a trophy to Arsenal before. He has
:31:03. > :31:10.received a view and Pat Rice congratulates each one of those red
:31:11. > :31:17.and white shirted players. And hands the FA Community Shield to Mikel
:31:18. > :31:22.Arteta and Arsenal start season 2014/2015 in style with broad smiles
:31:23. > :31:35.and with silverware. The FA Community Shield belongs to Arsenal.
:31:36. > :31:42.Many congratulations. In many ways, the perfect start. A fantastic
:31:43. > :31:48.display. We played well, especially in the first half and we defended
:31:49. > :31:53.very well. We had good variation in our attacking display. The second
:31:54. > :31:57.half, we couldn't sustain physically completely what we did in the first
:31:58. > :32:00.but we kept great togetherness and great desire to fight together.
:32:01. > :32:05.Disappointing start to the season. Well, it is not the start of the
:32:06. > :32:11.season. Maybe it is the end of the last season because we are now in
:32:12. > :32:16.pre-season and the squad is not - the starting 11 today is not our
:32:17. > :32:20.normal starting 11. We have one week more to work. So the season starts
:32:21. > :32:25.next Sunday. I think it is always good to win this game, to win the
:32:26. > :32:29.Communtiy Shield but Arsenal played better than us, the first half
:32:30. > :32:32.especially. And they scored two goals. The second half we had
:32:33. > :32:36.possession and chances to score but we didn't. Some will say it is only
:32:37. > :32:41.the Communtiy Shield but the big plus for you, Arsne, is you have
:32:42. > :32:45.beaten Manchester City, the Premier League champions. Yes, it is always
:32:46. > :32:51.the same. If you lose it, people say to you - you have lost a trophy. If
:32:52. > :32:55.you win it, it is only the Communtiy Shield. We have to live with that.
:32:56. > :33:00.It was an important game for us, in our mind and we won it, so that's
:33:01. > :33:03.all I can say. Of can dent of retaining your title -- confident?
:33:04. > :33:09.Of course. We know always the Premier League is a tough league,
:33:10. > :33:13.whether you have five or six strong squads in the league -- where you
:33:14. > :33:17.have five or six. They have a chance to win the title
:33:18. > :33:20.but I think we have a stronger team than last year. We hope we can
:33:21. > :33:24.repeat but that we can demonstrate on the pitch and in the talking. How
:33:25. > :33:27.excited are you about this season? Suddenly you have a squad that's
:33:28. > :33:30.talented, a squad surely capable of winning the Premier League? Look,
:33:31. > :33:37.I'm excited and cautious as well because, you know, as well,
:33:38. > :33:42.football, as I know, I have a lot of experience and it is a good basis,
:33:43. > :33:47.you know, but mathematically, of course, we want to win the Premier
:33:48. > :33:52.League and we have a desire to do it but we are conscious as well that
:33:53. > :33:56.there are many, many good teams in the league and let's just focus on
:33:57. > :33:59.the next one and then try to be consistent. So Arsenal lift the
:34:00. > :34:03.Communtiy Shield for the first time since 2004. Fantastic array of
:34:04. > :34:08.talent on display at Wembley this afternoon and a fantastic line-up
:34:09. > :34:13.this evening. Good evening to Tony Pulis, Brad Friedel and Martin
:34:14. > :34:17.Keown. Arsene Wenger says he is excited about the new season, he has
:34:18. > :34:20.every right to be after today? They played well. The first half they
:34:21. > :34:25.deserved to be 2-0 up. Second half, I thought Man City came into T David
:34:26. > :34:30.Silva came on and made a difference. -- I thought Man City came into it.
:34:31. > :34:36.But when Olivier Giroud scored the goal, the game died. I think City
:34:37. > :34:39.took their foot off the pedal and Arsenal did. Arsenal deserved to
:34:40. > :34:45.win. Brad, disappointed with Manchester City? Well, I was more
:34:46. > :34:52.impressed with Arsenal. I thought Karzai, Sanchez and Wilshere and
:34:53. > :34:56.Ramsey in the first half, Man City's back half couldn't deal with them. I
:34:57. > :34:59.thought Chambers was composed. He looked good. The pressing, the
:35:00. > :35:03.energy, everything was better from Arsenal. Man City didn't know what
:35:04. > :35:07.to do. Yaya Toure go the frustrated. As Tony said, in the second half
:35:08. > :35:10.when they brought in Silva, he was getting into pockets, they started
:35:11. > :35:16.to get forward. They desperately needed a goal to make it 2-1 when
:35:17. > :35:42.Giroud made it 3-0, that killed off the game. Let's look at the goals.
:35:43. > :35:47.Hamid Karzai, he like - - Santi Cazorla likes it here.
:35:48. > :35:52.I was surprised Man City never matched them up. They played 4-4-2
:35:53. > :35:56.and Navas and Nasri didn't track back. Arsenal occupy their back four
:35:57. > :36:01.with their three forwards. The two wide players come off the line and
:36:02. > :36:05.pull right in time. You you have to narrow your back four N Arsenal
:36:06. > :36:16.pushed the two fullbacks on and almost played like wingbacks. They
:36:17. > :36:22.had five almost upfront. And then Toure and Fernando were picking up
:36:23. > :36:26.them. Man City never got to grips with it.
:36:27. > :36:30.It will be interesting if Pellegrini sticks with two strikers. That was
:36:31. > :36:34.what won them the lead. But today their midfield couldn't get on the
:36:35. > :36:38.ball. Just against the better teams, who keep the ball well, if you get
:36:39. > :36:41.outnumbered in midfield, I think you always have a problem. I think he
:36:42. > :36:47.has to lock at that, especially when they play the top teams in Europe.
:36:48. > :36:51.Brad, Olivier Giroud, you often wonder how play letters react after
:36:52. > :36:58.coming off the World Cup but he came on and scored a great goal. He Z it
:36:59. > :37:01.was aided by deflection. -- he Z substitution came on. We were
:37:02. > :37:07.talking about the formation, out of nothing, Giroud touches it to his
:37:08. > :37:11.left T gets -- left. It gets deflected a bit over Caballero. He
:37:12. > :37:16.didn't vch else to do in that second half but once the third goal went
:37:17. > :37:20.in, game over. The game was lost by Man City in the first half. They
:37:21. > :37:25.didn't take it seriously enough. It shows you, even if you champions and
:37:26. > :37:28.you are way better, you will get punished. Arsenal started well. The
:37:29. > :37:35.fullbacks were getting out nicely. Debuchy had a game, Chambers at the
:37:36. > :37:41.back. What about that for confidence playing in a gym of that size and
:37:42. > :37:46.the enormity. -- a gym. If you play with two upfront, and getting
:37:47. > :37:49.outnumbered there is nothing wrong with one striker coming up. When
:37:50. > :37:53.David Silva came up, they floated into the middle and got more joy
:37:54. > :37:57.going forward. In the first half they stuck with the two upfront and
:37:58. > :38:02.Arsenal possessed the ball for 45 straight minutes. I have to ask you
:38:03. > :38:08.about Alexis Sanchez. He was fantastic for Chile in the World
:38:09. > :38:13.Cup. When you have a player of his ability, surely it makes you Premier
:38:14. > :38:16.League title contenders. If you look at Arsenal, Cazorla and Giroud
:38:17. > :38:19.haven't got the pace that the top players who played for Arsenal had
:38:20. > :38:25.before. Sanchez joining the group now, he brings that pace and when
:38:26. > :38:29.you get Walcott and Oxlade-Chamberlain fit, that'll
:38:30. > :38:35.cause teamses. And you have your -- teams problems. And you have your
:38:36. > :38:39.World Cup players. Yes when I was looking at the squads, and you were
:38:40. > :38:44.talking about who Man City and Arsenal were going to buy and you
:38:45. > :38:50.see who is on the Beverly and on the bench and then you have Podolski and
:38:51. > :38:56.others to come. I'm not sure they have too much more to purchase. I
:38:57. > :39:01.thought Chambers' positioning was excellent. I will leave that to you,
:39:02. > :39:05.being ex- na. Chambers, you are right. Coming in showing promise. I
:39:06. > :39:09.personally feel a deep-lying midfield player to slot n someone
:39:10. > :39:13.with the pace that Toure has in there. You want that pace in and
:39:14. > :39:15.around you. But I look at the progression of some of these
:39:16. > :39:20.players. Ramsey now, he is really looking a top, top player. The
:39:21. > :39:25.biggest compliment I can pay him, he is almost as good as Fabregas was
:39:26. > :39:28.when he left. He is the glue in the team. Excellent. Sanchez comes off
:39:29. > :39:32.the line. Doesn't play down the middle but when he does, it is
:39:33. > :39:38.difficult. It will be interesting to see how Palace will cope with him.
:39:39. > :39:42.Sanogo is getting tidier, progressing as a player and is a
:39:43. > :39:46.thorn in the opposition's side. Before Arsenal fans get ahead of
:39:47. > :39:49.themselves, they have a tricky opening fixture against Crystal
:39:50. > :39:55.Palace, are you ready for them? Tony? I thought they were
:39:56. > :39:58.magnificent today. Are you ready? Obviously it will be a tough game
:39:59. > :40:02.for us. After today's result they will be full of confidence. We have
:40:03. > :40:07.nothing to lose. Everybody will expect Arsenal to win, so we will go
:40:08. > :40:10.there and give it our best. Thank you very much. So the Premier League
:40:11. > :40:29.kicks off on Saturday. You will not miss a thing with us, on the BBC.
:40:30. > :40:39.COMMENTATOR: What a strike. Magnificent. ! What an absolute
:40:40. > :40:43.cracker. From the Premier League to the FA Cup, Football League and the
:40:44. > :40:44.best women's football. There's more football than ever, all across the
:40:45. > :40:58.BBC. So make sure you are on your sofa at
:40:59. > :41:01.12.10 on Saturday for the first Football Focus of the season,
:41:02. > :41:07.including an interview with Manchester City manager, Manuel
:41:08. > :41:16.Pellegrini. Final score kicks off at 2.30 and Gary Lineker will be joined
:41:17. > :41:22.by Alan Shearer and Rudd -- Guillit. Well, how excited are you. How is
:41:23. > :41:27.your manager lining up? He is very good. His training is demanding but
:41:28. > :41:31.in an enjoyable way. The players are backing what he is telling us. We
:41:32. > :41:35.will be high pressing, trying to do all the things you saw in
:41:36. > :41:40.Southampton and if you saw Spain play, it has been - we start with a
:41:41. > :41:45.West Ham team that we lost three times to last year, so we are going
:41:46. > :41:50.to want to put that right. It is interesting what he did at
:41:51. > :41:54.Southampton where he has made the careers of such young players. He
:41:55. > :41:59.has arrived at a club, lots of new signings, can he turn you into a
:42:00. > :42:04.really good team? The answer to that is, yes, I think he K I think he has
:42:05. > :42:09.started 234 training. I think his tactical approach -- he has started
:42:10. > :42:12.in training. His tactical approach, very authoritative. Interesting, I
:42:13. > :42:17.think Spurs will go well. I don't think you will get into the top
:42:18. > :42:20.four, but I think you will go some way it playing better than last
:42:21. > :42:27.year. I think we will be very close to that. We'll have a little side
:42:28. > :42:31.wagers. Tony, how excited are you by the new season? You have made good
:42:32. > :42:37.signings. We stillville work to do and need to do work -- we still have
:42:38. > :42:39.a bit of work to do. The squad needs strengthening but it is always
:42:40. > :42:43.exciting the week before the first game of the Premier League season.
:42:44. > :42:46.The honour to go to the Emirates and play against a great side, great
:42:47. > :42:49.manager, great Football Club, Arsenal. One of the great football
:42:50. > :42:52.clubs in the world. We are looking forward to it. Realistically, can
:42:53. > :42:56.Arsenal win the Premier League? I think it will be tough. They are
:42:57. > :43:00.spending big money now. I think Man City, really, though, go in as the
:43:01. > :43:04.favourites. Chelsea, there is a lot of stuff there, players coming in.
:43:05. > :43:08.Man City are the favourites. Arsenal might push another place above.
:43:09. > :43:12.Maybe third this year. Good to see you, boys. Thank you very much. So,
:43:13. > :43:16.Arsenal lift the Communtiy Shield here at Wembley, just six sleeps to
:43:17. > :43:18.go before the start of the Premier League season. From all of us here,
:43:19. > :43:37.bye for now. Cazorla, the FA Cup winners over the
:43:38. > :43:45.Premier League champion. The spray and the crowd love it.
:43:46. > :43:52.Ramsey for 2-1. -- 2-0. Olivier Giroud. A fantastic goal.
