This might be a weird and unpopular opinion but I find Manchester City's matches are generally boring to watch. The only time they're exciting is if their opponents take the game to them. I watched part of the match against Huddersfield but as soon as City went 1-0 up I knew what was coming next, then just as I thought the 2nd goal came quickly after that and now they're currently winning 5-0. I turned the game off at half time when the score was 2-0. There's no real sense of jeopardy watching them the vast majority of the time and how they still continue to get these favourable cup draws is beyond me.
Hopefully Arsenal Vs Liverpool later today will be much more entertaining watching as a neutral. |

Yes it’s effective, but there’s so much level of control and patterns that it’s boring to watch. Playing at home to Huddersfield- absolutely no jeopardy in that tie at all. Anyway, I’m loving the narrative that Arsenal were really good and Liverpool were lucky. I thought Arsenal bossed the first half tactically and Liverpool did the same in the second. Feel Arsenal are on their patchy run of form at the moment that they will break out of, but three losses in a row is a rut they need to get out of fairly quickly. |

The purchase of Havertz will be what ultimately costs Arteta his job.

The worry for everyone else now is that the spontaneity De Bruyne brings is there making them even better! |
