True and that's really boring game. To be honest, he game against chelsea sometimes was quite attractive even though chelsea was playing like shit this time. It's caused by both of clubs are always going fully attack unlike this time the big clubs are mostly playing safely without even try to take the bigger risk to score.
I must admit that if majority of big clubs these days are very boring. This is also happening in another league like la liga too when the big match looked like even unattractive compared matches between mediocre club. Im concerning this caused by i have seen it many times the big clubs who were always playing wait and attack.
It feels like that if it's very long to wait the match to end caused by waiting for the team to attack is very long. Many people are also feeling the same and it cna be seen from the statistics of game.

Manchester city was also playing passively in this game. I was only seeing two clubs who have been waiting each other to attacks then it can counter it. I don't really like this kind of game especially when it was always waiting the ball to go upfront.
This passive game is only making me feel unsatatisfied with it. Im sure that if many people are also feeling the same like me. Things are not going so well for city in this game.
Even haaland got so many criticism after he was not playing so good in the game.

Chelsea fans was hanging their hopes on the shoulder of Nkunku that he would change the style of play and all that but things went crazy when the player returned from injury but we never saw him (Nkunku) perform like he used to at Leipzig. The Blues got luck and Cole Palmer came in and you'd agree with me that this guy has been the face of this team, though he's young but he is the main man for Chelsea, without him things would have been going bad for the Chelsea side and I believe they would've been struggling to go above the relegation zone.
So all I'm saying is that without Palmer Chelsea can't play out their best, Pochettino need to make the team to be more better without the young lad because when injury or suspension comes knocking I only see the Blues losing more than they can win or draw.

We watch closely how these elite teams have been up and running perhaps they also have their downtime this season, its sparkling. The English premier League becomes more interesting watching these elite teams competing for the title. Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola are the main threats for Mikel Arteta this season, he always have opponents to compete with and there's more to accomplish for Gunners this season. Arsenal headcoach, Mikel Arteta will bring on the best performance from his squad this season.

I was so shocked with Arsenal's defense because I haven't seen Arsenal build such a solid defense for a very long time now but they did it at Etihad stadium, for some reasons Arsenal deserves kudos in the match against City because winning City at Emirate stadium and coming to draw them at Etihad stadium is really a good one for Arsenal.

Sure Liverpool too advantage of the draw between Manchester City and Arsenal, although the game between Liverpool and Brighton was not an easy one for Liverpool but they managed to sail through, just hope they maintain this opportunity of topping the league table once again and they should take advantage of it and win the league title.

Arsenal had it well planned to have a defense football against Manchester City. Any team up against Manchester City at their home will be more cautious of their defensive side, not to come out fully for an attack to challenge Manchester City on who owns the match possession because doing that will result in Manchester City winning the match completely.

I am beginning to suspect that clubs in the Premier League are learning how they can be able to defend and stop Manchester City from winning them easily. By next season or so, let us not be surprised when other teams take the Premier League lead

The reason is that both teams played more carefully and did not want to take risks because for both teams in this match it was important not to lose points. That's why this match looks a little boring, different from Liverpool versus Man City where the match is definitely an attack on each other. In this match, it was clear that Arsenal were really defending and only relying on counter attacks, but what I applaud is that this tactic was effective in holding Man City to a draw at the Etihad, and from the last few meetings, they managed to hold Man City to a draw. Haaland really couldn't do anything in front of defenders SAliba and Gabriel.

It's a shame that Arteta doesn't want to play openly in this match, even though his players are not strong enough to play long balls like Liverpool. So it can be concluded that they were really aiming for a draw in this match, but in the end Liverpool benefited from this draw because they succeeded in taking first place from Arsenal.

With the way Arsenal played in this match, a draw shouldn’t have been a surprise for them in this match, if they wanted a win in this match, they could have played better but overall the both team’s performance were not that bad. The match was actually intense and both team took possession of the games at some points and that is why they counter attacks and defensive mindsets were all levelled in the match.

The draw in this match has actually made the fight for the league winner more difficult to predict. With the way the three top teams are playing in the league, the league winner can only be decided on the last day match of the premier league this season.

On the final day match, the trophy will be up flying and waiting for the final whistle in order to decide which stadium to take the trophy to. Those moments will be truly memorable. This is one of the most competitive premier league season I’ve come across we in a while now.

Arsenal defense was just too strong and Manchester City couldn’t Penetrate it, all their effort to break Arsenal defense failed. Arsenal were trying to make use of counter attack, but they also failed, they were able to create few chances, but they couldn’t convert any of those chances into goal. The way the match went, if Arsenal tried to attack in the match, it won’t really be an easy one for them, because Manchester city might end up scoring in the match. Manchester City did everything possible to score in the match, but Arsenal defense was just too strong for them to break.

Because they were playing counter attack, and since they were playing defensive game, it was really difficult for Manchester City to get ball to Arsenal goalkeeper, they block most shots before getting to the goal keeper.

If Arsenal didn’t want draw in the match, then they won’t have played a defensive game in the match, I think their target was just to play draw in the match.

The chances of Arsenal winning is lower than the chances of them winning Epl and we saw how they fair against FC Porto in the round of 16 but let's how they fair against Bayern Munich who are having their worst season in over a decade in their domestic league.
While Liverpool as  a difficult game against Manchester united this weekend I think they might actually win though Manchester united was actually the better team in their last meeting beating them 4 goals to 3 but also don't forget Arsenal still has a game against Manchester united. Let's see how these 2 team fighting for the EPL title fair against the red devils who is currently doing better now

Nothing gives me goosebumps this week like the way Arsenal were able to hold Manchester City, now that the have successful draw one of the deadliest team in the Premier League, what happened next after this? Will they lose to a minor team after these or they will lose to teams that are not worth losing to? My challenge is what is really going to happen next, if we remove Chelsea and Manchester united from the remaining features that Arsenal have this season that might be tough, I don't think there is much work unless they would want to fumble as usual.

Not going to lie, Manchester City are gradually losing this fight, they look good physically but the hype around them isn't working, I have more faith in Liverpool to win this league than for Manchester City to win this time around, they have even tried they should give Arsenal a place to feel at home with the Premier League title.

That's a loss for both clubs and very profitable for Liverpool. An incredible game for Arsenal as they just waited without much possession. In fact it was very boring to see Arsenal park maybe 4 buses. But this strategy successfully made Arsenal bring 1 point. Gabriel and Saliba managed to ruin Haaland's game. Haaland could not move freely, in fact he did not seem to have much contribution in this match. The Man City players were frustrated by 4 buses parked in front of the goal. LOL

Guardiola was so pissed about gunners defence line at a point he wanted to break it aggressively. Arteta played the game quite well since he counted a lot on his defence to not receive any goal while trying his luck in counterattacks.
That result was the least damaging one for both teams but definitely it helped Klopp a lot since Liverpool and after winning yesterday's game against Brighton and Albion Hove has become the first with 2 goals above of Arsenal and 3 points away from Manchester City

IMO, Arteta has applied the right strategy in the match against Man City. In that match, Man City only got 1 shot on target and the total shots was 12 shots only. It was not like the stats of Man City attacking in the usual matches. It indicated that Arteta succeeded to make Man City attackers have very limited chance for scoring goals. A draw result was a good result for Arsenal, they could stay in 2nd place at least. It will never be easy to steal points at Man City home, so the draw result is enough for Arsenal.

In the remaining matches, Arsenal still have some big matches. Arsenal will play against Aston Villa, Chelsea, Tottenham, and Man United. It won't be easy for Arsenal to keep getting full points (3 points) in each remaining match. However, they can make best effort to ensure getting the best results. Basically, I think Arsenal is much better from those teams. Although it won't be easy to win against them but there is surely a chance to win.

Every series has an end. Manchester City may have had a good run, but it's no surprise that it ended against Arsenal. Arsenal are proving how good their defense is by finishing important games with a clean sheet this year. Arteta made it his priority not to concede a goal and he did it. If they had scored they would have gone home with 3 points but this result is certainly not bad for them. Arsenal can take over the lead if Liverpool falters in one of their next games. At the moment all three teams have very close chances.

Manchester City failure to achieve maximum results at the Etihad Stadium left Arsenal with an impressive record. Previously, Manchester City had always scored goals in 57 consecutive matches at the Etihad Stadium, but this fantastic record stopped when they faced Arsenal. Arsenal really showed their class in front of Manchester City, they managed to build a strong defense which made it difficult for Manchester City to break down their defense in this match. It was recorded that Manchester City was only able to get one shot on target out of a total of 12 attempts, a very bad figure for the defending champions.

Of course Liverpool greatly benefited from the draw achieved by their two rivals, the victory over Brighton made Liverpool return to the top of the standings. Liverpool will continue to maintain a safe position by getting full points in the next match. This season's competition is very competitive, meaning the top of the standings must always consistently maintain their performance every match so they have the opportunity to win the title at the end of the season.

Exactly, Arsenal really relied more on their defense in this match. Their target means actually preventing Man City from scoring goals. And they used a quick counter attack system to attack, so they only had a few chances to advance into the Man City area and couldn't win more balls. But, even though they are quite defensive, Arsenal's shots on target are actually more compared to Man City. This means that Arsenal's game is actually working quite well, but it cannot be denied that Man City's defense is also strong, their goalkeeper is also strong. And Draw could be Arsenal's worst target for this match.

I saw that Manchester City had far more opportunities than Arsenal, but Arsenal's solid defense meant that Manchester City's players did not get a chance to score a goal. Arsenal managed to prevent Haaland from getting many opportunities to score goals because they knew exactly what to do when Haaland got the ball. In terms of tactics, Arteta was much more successful in making Pep Guardiola's men have difficulty in finishing because he really focused on defense.

As far as I have observed, Arsenal managed to frustrate Manchester City in scoring goals because if they play openly then I am quite worried that Manchester City players could score more than two goals. Manchester City played at home so they were much stronger with the motivation to win so Arteta had to find the right strategy and I think he succeeded in that.

And the way Arsenal was keeping tabs on our players and not giving them breathing space, especially Gabriel Tacker Haaland I was so angry because we do not need too many chances before we can score, and since they did not give us that chance, they were also unable to score and that is what gives me joy the most. and we need to start having the right mindset about winning We still have the chance of defending this season's premier league, and there is nothing any club will do and I can argue anywhere that we are winning. And from the stats, we had 4 blocked shots and from the ball possession, it shows that we played Arsenal well, and all they were fighting for was to stop us from scoring.

Even though Liverpool is leading the standings with a 2 point advantage over Arsenal and 3 points over Manchester City, it is still very possible for these three teams to take turns at the top. Liverpool has a better chance than Arsenal and Manchester City, but Arsenal and Manchester City also still have a chance to thwart Liverpool. Everything is still possible because there are 8 more matches waiting for them, but after Manchester City missed two big matches with a draw, I am sure Liverpool will win this season.

I was a little disappointed with the results of Manchester City's matches against Liverpool and Arsenal, I think this is a sign that Manchester City is no longer strong enough to defend its title this season. On the other hand, a draw put Liverpool and Arsenal ahead on points, while Manchester City had to fight hard to regain it in the next 8 matches.

Who will doubt Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City to become the title winner of this season. It's obvious to even a non football person that with the points these 3 teams has one of them that will win this trophy and I personally think Manchester City will win this one again no matter what. Liverpool is currently ahead of everyone but they are not far, it's easy for Manchester City to win their remaining matches but I don't think it will be that easy for Liverpool to do all of that without any loss.

Arsenal are good but I'm not sure how strong they will go to finish this season but number one place I doubt it, I don't think Arteta will have logic to finish number one. My prediction for lineup table is Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool or Liverpool second and Arsenal will go third place.
