I don't think it is weird.I think what you say here is the reality for Manchester City which is 7 points behind after near half of the season has ended,that says a lot for me.They will have it almost impossible in order to win the title during this season if they continue with such game play as that of tonight.They were trying to use only Haaland and this is understandable but when that is not working you have to be creative and all the team should participate in the attacking,they should improvise,all the players have the duty to do so but they did not.I think Arsenal is going to have an easy way to the title this season while other teams have no real chances of fighting for the title,even Newcastle that is not losing from a lot of games they are 9 points behind and by not winning against Leeds they are out of the title fight in my opinion.
Newcastle are definitely out of the title race, I dunno if they were ever really in it. I actually think they will struggle to get top 4. Man Utd, Spurs & Liverpool will finish above them. We are not even half way through the season. Lots of points to play for.
I think you might be getting a bit carried away saying Arsenal will have an easy way to the title dude. It doesn’t work like that. There will be plenty of twists & turns. Arsenal still have to play Man City twice, Liverpool at Anfield. It’s a young Arsenal team with no experience of winning anything, the pressure will come, can they deal with it? City have been here before.
I do think Arsenal are the best team in the country currently but there is a long way to go. I hope they can keep their form up.
