No wiggle room for Arsenal now, they'll have to beat Man City when they meet up.
A draw means City have to be literally flawless, with a crazy amount of games coming quick.Quote:

That was a good game to watch for the neutrals.
Heads have gone, can't win a game and handing the title to City. Bottlers.Quote:

Good mentality definitely but losing some very bad goals lately and think man city will have to much for them at the Etihad tbh .Quote:

Agree two games before this one stopped playing when two up. Tonight losing three goals to bottom of the league and fortunate to get one point with goalie gifting a goal after 20 seconds. Definitely wobblingQuote:

I've just given 2 examples of one player making a significant impact, though. Like, City were pish without a first choice defense, so were Liverpool.Quote:

Would've made Ferguson look silly too. Their points tallies and winning runs are unparalleled.

James mate, you said they'd be lucky to finish top 4. I've always thought and said City would catch them. I'm actually right here, you do know that right?Quote:

There’s not a chance they beat City on Wednesday. Haaland will run riot against their defence.
Only when I disagree with you :greengrinQuote:

Yeah, I seen the examples, but not having one player is something you can argue if we're talking about them playing one of the big boys, we're talking about them playing Southampton, who are rock bottom and West Ham, who are also pants and in the relegation battle.Quote:

The next three games will tell us a lot. After they play each other, Arsenal have Chelsea then away at Newcastle, tricky. City have Fulham and West Ham. A lot easier on paper. But it’s mad to call it ‘over’, you’d rather have the points in the bank like Arsenal do.
Agree think the way City play will likely suit Arsenal better however will definitely be a few goals in it.Quote:
