What was that? Manchester City's performance was just terrible. They weren't playing like a team that want to be champions. Arteta once again didn't lose to them this season. He collected 4 points from his teacher Guardiola in 2 games. This is really good statistics against the most powerful team of the league on paper you know.
Just check out these statistics. Only 1 shot on target for Manchester City... Haaland was even lost in the game, did you see him?
This happens in nearly all of big games. Haaland just can't play effectively.
I must admit Gabriel - Saliba duo did a mega job at defending Manchester City attackers - especially Haaland.
Neither City nor Arsenal performed flawlessly in this match and yeah this match has ended without goal which was very disappointed to mee. Manchester has performed so badly and it was also continue in the match against arsenal even haaland did nothing in this game. These clubs were trying to play safely. This explains why there were fewer goal attempts in the game and people were not expecting this to happen. Arsenal was only concerned with defending against City and it's going to be fully defensive against manchester city, and it was waiting for the right moment to launch a quick counterattack against Manchester City but this moment came twice for a whole game and arsenal was also unable to score in this game.
The loss of Walker and Stones was a major setback for the city caused by there was no good and fast RB like walker who cana lso help city to attack, and it nearly cost them the trophy since liverpool is just getting unstoppable. Having Haaland and De Bruyne in the game wasn't enough to propel the club to three points. Liverpool is now leading the competition, with a wider lead over City and Arsenal.
It feels as if Liverpool will be unbeatable until the end of the season. I didn't see Haaland in this game, and he appeared only rarely. No club was willing to put their team at risk just to score. The city was also too slow in making the decision.
Even this club only had one shot on target against Arsenal, which was very disappointing. I'm not sure why, but City lacked creativity in that game.
Haaland was not fully exploring his options. This is also a bad result for Arsenal, as the club is now two points behind its main competitor, Liverpool. Arsenal fans may blame their coaches for the team's lack of success due to Liverpool's performance.
Waiting for that moment to happen again in the future.
