City are much better than most teams. And if Arsenal think the same, then ultra defensive was the correct way to go. And perhaps City deserve to win the league, being the best team and able to tear anyone apart that tries to beat them.

apart from Arsenal beat them at home and took 4 points out of 6.......... City may well deserve to win the title, they certainly dont yet

How many teams can actually go head to head with City and beat them at home?

Well, out of the 19 other teams in the PL, I felt maybe 1 or 2. Arsenal being one, Liverpool being the other.

But, what do their fans think? Do they believe their teams could beat City at City? Or do they accept that they can't take City on?
 
There's no getting away from it, Arsenal played well and deserved their point.
In my opinion though, they had a real chance to go and get all 3 points, Man City had a few players out and the way Arsenal have been playing lately, they could of picked up all 3 points.
It just seems like a missed opportunity against the best side in the league.
 
In other news, Evertons headline 22/23 accounts make properly grim reading, turnover down and losses doubled to 90m, over 250m over the last 3 years, going to be looking for lots of mitigation. Irrelevant of PSR issues, you have to fear for their long term viability if they go down and no takeover happens

From what i've seen this season most teams are beaten at the etihad before they turn up. Haaland was once again annonymous against a solid defensive side.

If he doesnt score goals he offers very little.

He’s not bad at scoring goals tho 😂

That’s why I’d take Kane over him tho.
Haaland is class,but Kane has more to his game & would score as many goals in that City team imo.
 
Can't believe Arsenal are getting stick for that. Me and fundy had an exchange a few months back where I questioned their bottle but todays game was one they lose last season IMO. Arteta has certainly learnt and taking 4 points off City is a great return, it makes wining the title a lot easier. The defence and Rice did a brilliant job stopping City. Jesus missed two good chances too.

Something doesn't look right in the City camp, too many top players like KDB and Haaland way off it. Looks like we've got a genuine three way title race!
