Arsenal have been BETTER than Manchester City this season? | ESPN FC

If you let this arsenal team win one league, i fear that they will be a hard team to stop. Just one title away from the believe for the players and they will be monsters

when did Arsenal win champions league or Premier league Cup last u are comparing Arsenal better than City. what kind of better is that better without any win of any trophy, this issue of if Arsenal better than City is it not a foolish one

Arsenal can never be better than City

Then how come Arsenal are only in the running for one trophy while we are in the running for two?

As an Arsenal fan, I fear we will come to rue getting 1 pt. from Fulham and Villa, not to mention losing at home to West Ham and drawing Spurs. They are the best team, but a handful of mistakes will cost them the title.

City played most of the season without their best player and they’re still on course to win the league. Very boring

Arsenal have been better than City for sure. We will see if the Universe will still allow an upset to see Arsenal lifting the premier league trophy.

We`ll see at the end of the season.

Arsenal have played some really attractive football, and generally winning football too, nobody is denying that ....... but the bottom line is that they HAVE to win MORE games than City by close of play in May to actually WIN the title, otherwise what good is it???? If Arsenal DO win it then, as a City fan, i will be the first to stand up and applaud them .... they have played some great stuff, been good to watch, scored bags of goals, and will definitely have deserved it. However should City win it for a record 4th time running, then they will deserve immense credit for achieving an astonishing feat, and one in which they will 'stand alone' ...... NONE of the great managers or teams throughout the entire course of footballing history, including Fergie, Wenger, Paisley, Busby, Clough, Shankly, to name but a few, could ever manage it.

The guy is just not objective for me poor analysis

Westham will win for Declan rice as a thank you

Same guy who said Arsenal will struggle to get into the Top 4 this season. He had City, Liverpool, Spurs and Man United ahead of them when he was making his season predictions back in August 2023. Now he wants flip the script and sing Arsenal's praises.

They have been but they were 2nd best against city and villa

Im an Arsenal fan but come on this should not even be a question city are going to win silverware Arsenal bottled the cl and all cup competitions

Arsenal have had more injuries than City ffs.

Ferguson. Look at his winning points totals. His teams nowhere near level of Pep's teams. Watch Pep Barcelona vs Ferguson Man U.

115 FC will be banned soon dw arsenal back to back champions

Declan been great but in biggest games every fatal goal involved a mistake by him.

😂😂😂😂😂😂. City is never the best team. Not to the pundits anyways, they always have something missing. This is how Klopp ended up coming second most of the time. Because Pep Guadiola is always and inch better, he is a better manager. He will show it again and again until he gets bored.

Of course arsenal been better. Better goals. Better defense. Less squad depth to achieve it. And they got 4 points off man city. Arsenal have been better. Doesn't mean they're a better team but they've defs been better this year.

One thing that is certain about league titles: there are no flukes. Real have only won one knockout game so far but are still well and alive in the CL. Teams can’t bs their way to a league title. Whichever team wins is the best team in the league.

Villa fielded their B team against City. They should have had a go.

He’s one of the best of the ESPN crop. Far cry from pretend “pundits”, Hislop and Nicol 😂

Stat wise YES they are better but that doesnt win them title because the bottled the villa game. If only they won that villa game the title could've been in their hands.

Worth remembering that the 38-game league schedule is not perfectly even for all teams because London clubs have to play far more derbies than a team like City, who have one derby with United that has very little historical context or energy to it.

Arsenal lost 5 games.

most goals scored, least conceded, unbeaten against the so called top six and still may not be enough to win the league😢 what a season❤

Everybody knows if we had honest referees, arsenal would be 2023 champions and closing in on a second consecutive title.

Well Cheaty may drop pts at Rotts so stop concentrating on Arsenal dropping pts etc

No they haven’t 😂😂😂

City has won the championship 🏆 again... Next season will be operation stop Manchester City 😊

One game at a time Arsenal. Dont look too far ahead. Bournemouth would be tricky.

John Stones has only played in 15 matches. That's a big signing if he's healthy next year.

In all honesty when Liverpool played Utd they should've been 4-0 at half time but had a competition between players to see "who misses the most chances".... If the current Man Utd meets the arsenal I'm telling you we'll bury them, Forget about missing those sitters cause we won't let Utd off the hook...

Arsenal lost 1-2 to Fulham away. They scored there.

Why didnt he say this when Arsenal where Top?! He is saying this because he thinks Cuty will win the league and it wont matter. Throughout the season he said city are the best. Smh! Pure waffle

Better at 🍼 BOTTLING 👈

😂 so much pain!

Bro.. it's 3 games left to go, what else do they have to prove 😂😂

City will not play like Arsenal yielding possession to Tottenham Hotspurs. Man-city will play their possession football and Spurs will play their high-line and they’ll be up for it. Spurs will either draw or win against City. Also Man-city are yet to win at the new Spurs Stadium.

I want Arsenal to win as welll

We need to hope for aston villa lose..to bring back tottenham confidence

Isnt same guy that said Arsenal will finish 4th behind Spurs.

Zero Nonsense, this man is better than rest of the crew at ESPN

It deflated Klopp and Liverpool, play so good, get so close and lose. City are mentality monsters.

If they were so gud why they parked the bus against city why didn't they take city on they played like women's

Is this idiot drunk or deluded

Wat rubbish are these clowns talking about arsenal lost 5 games knocked out in every competition city unbeaten in 30 games still in the running for the league and a FA CUP final

Most goals Fewest goals conceded Best goal difference Most clean sheets Undefeated vs Big 6

Have Arsenal had better performances inside their games than City (how they control games, their defense and attacking prowess, the eye test etc)? As a City fan I would have to agree, and fair play to them as they look like a well oiled machine while City look a bit more disjointed and chaotic on the pitch. For me, a lot of City's structural issues (specifically defense) is down to Pep new high line for which he does not have the right players to execute it and hence, there have been so many defensive issues: worst defense vs the counter in the PL; conceded more goal this season with 6 games to go than the entirety of the last 3 previous seasons; nearly every team we play, regardless of how good or bad they might be, they always are given legit chances to score against us on the counter given our absurdly high line. Remember, last season Pep tried playing Walker as a wingback to disastrous effect, especially in the NU game, and he then scrapped it. Opting to keep a flat back 4 against very attacking minded teams and going with the inverted CB for most other games. We have the same defense as last season, but what didnt work with Walker last season, Pep has decided to do it anyway while pushing the rest of the line much higher than last season. As a result, we always look shaky at the back and are conceding far more chances. It is down to Pep and his refusal to adapt it properly given we don't have the right players for as evidenced by our stats. Our poor transfer window is another issue - the board completely bottled it allowing 45GA to walk out the door in Gundo and Mahrez and not replacing with, or even coming to replacing it with proper players. Total GA from incoming players is 25GA so on that alone, City have a net loss of 20GA, and when you throw KBD out for 1/2 the season, there's another 20GA for a total of 40GA before the season even began. But at the end of the day, it is all about who wins the most games and drops the fewest points over a 38 game season. Regardless of the eye test, whichever team has won the most games, wins the league in practical application. Based on how well Arsenal are playing, they should win the league, but a few minor mistakes cost them which is why, City have the title in their hands even though on the eye, it doesnt look like that should be the case.
