Guardiola says Arsenal have something that Man City don’t have

Arsenal are favourites to lift the 2022–23 Premier League title. The Gunners’ form has been imperious, and their dominant first-half performance against Fulham, when they scored the three goals that won the match, just went on to confirm Arsenal are now on another level.

Prior to the Fulham game, Pep Guardiola, Manchester City’s boss, found himself admitting why Arsenal could be the real deal as far as this season’s Premier League title race is concerned. Guardiola pointed out how good Arsenal was in the first half of the season and how they seemed to win games at the last minute of the game as the fuel to Arteta’s success.

“Still, Arsenal are the favourites because they are up front,” said Guardiola on Yahoo News. “They make an incredible first leg [of the season], they drop a little bit, then come back again.

“They have many years without winning the Premier League, and they give you this extra that helps you win games in 93rd minute, 98th minute; that’s something they have that we don’t have because we won back-to-back two times.”

Arsenal can be called favourites, but in the end, the remaining 11 games will be won on the pitch. As Arteta keeps saying, Arsenal needs to control what they can. Notably, after the Fulham game, Arteta said: “We discuss what we discuss internally to be really humble, to work on the next training session, and try to be better every day. That’s our focus; there’s still a huge part of the season to be played.”

In managing what they can, they’ll win game after game and, on May 28th, be crowned champions, fulfilling the many prophecies that have seen them win the 2022-23 league title.

  1. “They have many years without winning the Premier League, and they give you this extra that helps you win games in 93rd minute, 98th minute; that’s something they have that we don’t have because we won back-to-back two times.”

    Did he just accuse the officials of giving us those extra times?

    1. @Gai, PepG us simply playing a mind game. This also means he is worried about Arsenal even if he doesn’t own up. All things been equal, If MCity don’t win UCL and Arsenal hopefully wins EPL this season could be a failure for PepG.

  2. I would always guard against Pep’s comments, sometimes it could be to derail the opposition. That said, he has a point in that we have not won the PL for a long time and that could be a clear motivation going ahead. We should focus only on our games and try our best to win every match.

  3. Pep Guardiola is just ratcheting up his mind games, we must not listen to him.
    The more he gets nervous the louder his mouth will gets.

    Though we will play sporting tomorrow one eye should be firmly on the Massive derby on Sunday .

  4. If not winning the league for so long can motivated a team to win why is Tott not winning it?
    That’s foolish statement from Pep.

    1. Common man, then whats the point in the epl, every team play to win league.

      Its been a while Arsenal won the Epl…facts. chelsea did it under the same circumstance we in now.

      Saying one of the best managers in the world is talking trash….its uncalled for.
