These were my takeaways:
1. It's going to be a few matches before we fully see the difference between Emery's and Wenger's systems.
2. It was a better loss to a clearly superior city team vs. how we lost to them last year.
3. For every great pass Gouendouzi makes, there's two lapses in concentration. He's enthusiastic, which is nice, but it will cost us goals in the process.
4. Torreira needs to play of ahead of Gouendouzi.
5. Lichsteiner looks like he still has a some gas in the tank and could be a shrewd piece of business done by Mslintat and co.
6. Never seen Cech so uncomfortable with the ball at his feet. How soon do we see Leno?
7. Mesut Ozil gonna Mesut Ozil. You have to wonder if all the off the field stuff is getting to him. Where is the player that had 19 Assists just a couple of years ago?
8. We really need to finish the chances we get when we're playing a team like city. There were enough quality chances to have won or in the least tied that match.
9. Mustafi didn't have any huge mental mistakes. Perhaps having Sokartis and Lichsteiner playing with him makes him more focused.
10. I'd like to see Emile Smith-Rowe get some run of minutes when Ramsey inevitably gets injured.
