Arsenal were stronger than these teams, but now it seems that things are different, Arteta could not correctly calculate the team to reach its peak form by the end of the championship, and Guardiola did it perfectly. The championship was lost yesterday, when City at the Etihad left Arsenal no chance, they could score a few more goals in the first half, their advantage on the field was too clear.
In the second half, Arsenal tried to create something near the gates of City, since they needed to recoup, but they could only score one goal and conceded two more. It’s nice to watch City play, what the players do on the field is an art, I don’t want to get ahead of myself, but in my opinion it is such a team that deserves to become Premier League and Champions League champions.
Arsenal have lost momentum and I doubt their ability to challenge Manchester City for the title race. The Arsenal defense added to the team's woes because their blunders contributed to their loss. Ramsdale would have done better in the first goal scored by De Bryune, I think the Gunners need another goalkeeper. But I don't blame him so much because the strength of the goalkeeper is a formidable defense. City was in charge of the game and we couldn't see the masterclass of Ødegaard because De Bruyne took charge of the game. Except if something extraordinary is done, Arsenal might never overtake City. The worst part of it is that the Gunners will still face teams like Chelsea, Newcastle, and Brighton, making their season more difficult.
Arsenal's performance isn't good enough to win the premier league title because if they did, they wouldn't play as they do right now. Both teams still have games left to play, and I think Manchester City will win all of them, but Arsenal could make a mistake and lose the game and the league championship.
Arsenal can make every effort to believe that they can giude their points to win the league, but that is impossible if they are only two points ahead of Manchester City, who will do everything in their power to win the league.
Arsenal's two points advantage over Manchester City is insignificant because the Gunners have played two games more than the Citizens. If City wins those two outstanding matches, they will have four points more than Arsenal. Arsenal have lost control of their title fate, it now resides in the domain of City.
