If you're telling me that kind of performance against one of the top teams in Europe won't win the big prizes, then let's rewrite the history books because that's not real.

[@ACBandit]

@@dre8463 very different case. Those 3 you mentioned all played defensively, but they didn't play for a draw any season they won the league.

[@tortada1]

Liverpool go to City and go all out to win. Liverpool is this supposedly great rivalry with City have won the league ONE TIME!!! "WhY DoNT YOu aTtaCk CiTy?!?!?!?!" 25 years from now no one will look at this period of dominance from City as having any sort of big rivalry with Liverpool. Pep has dominated Klopp for more than a decade between 2 leagues. Klopp is an outstanding manager. But these braindead stupid takes are awful. If Arsenal managed to score a goal and win 1-0 everyone would say it was a magnificent result. Why are more people concerned with Arsenal not winning at city? Why aren't people putting pressure on City to win the game?

[@DraxlerHD-mk7gw]

Bro even Chelsea went to the Etihad and put up a fight

[@Megronamy123]

I want to put money that if Arsenal don’t win the league, Theo will come back and say “we should’ve gone for it when we played city”

[@GsEuro2024]

7:37 stupid comparison because both spurs and arsenal finished with one point

[@aidannoone261]

Liverpool didn’t shut haaland down Tom he scored in the 1-1 at the eithad

[@adams-fc7cq]

Didnt do anything afterwards and didn’t do anything at anfield

[@arthurfleming6772]

Theo is a gremlin

[@darraghoconnor9072]

I completely agree with Tom and lewis. United got stick for playing a low block against city, but when arsenal do it they get praised. They talk about how they can go toe-to-toe with City but don't show it when it matters most

[@lonerism1236]

Who have you seen praising us for that?? Literally every single outlet I've seen has been giving us shit for it. Idc to be honest, we got a point lmaoo better than 0

Marathon not a sprint

5th place United go to top of the table Liverpool (where they lost 7-0 last season), park the bus and arguably have the best chance in the match to win. Slaughtered by fans and the media. Top of the table Arsenal (with a fully fit squad) go to 3rd placed City, park the bus without so much as a sniff at goal and not a word is spoken. Absolutely woeful match. Two of the best teams in the country and 8 centre backs started yesterday, plus 4 defensive midfielders. Looked like two teams scared to lose.

[@3bladeninja21]

When United park the bus they still conceded 30+ shots. This truly is a clown comparison. They parked the bus vs Brentford and got absolutely piped. City managed 2 shots on target over 180 minutes vs Arsenal. They NEVER, and you must admit, never looked like scoring.

[@maxm7365]

The only people who slaughtered united for their deep block at anfield was liverpool fans??? You can literally see in this video a West Brom and Newcastle fan annoyed at arsenal for playing deep as well??? What a victim

[@10Zissou10]

@@3bladeninja21 For all those shots Liverpool had, they only created one big chance. City created twice as many yesterday against a very good Arsenal team. Using Brentford only proves my point. A shit United went to Anfield (where they got pumped last time) and parked the bus, got slaughtered for it in the media. Top of the table Arsenal go to City and rather than try win the game, approach it the same way a shit United would.

[@3bladeninja21]

@@10Zissou10 my point is United can be walked through by almost any team. Do you think those 2 examples are the only ones that apply to them? Arsenal took 8/12 from City and Liverpool. City took 3, Liverpool took 3. The onus is on the home team to win here imo and they had nothing. NEVER looked like scoring. That game could have been 180 minutes. Sideways passes, best players ghosts, 1 shot from a set piece. I will say again don't compare United to this Arsenal. The levels are different. Eye test, stats, position, everything shows that.

[@10Zissou10]

@@3bladeninja21 United can be walked through by any team, so they decide to park the bus at Anfield and the next day they're getting pelters for doing so. Arsenal have (I believe) the best defence in the league and are playing against a team more on their level yet take the exact same approach. The scrutiny that has followed has been a fraction of what was aimed at United, and that's my point. Crap teams (United) can't go to Liverpool, City etc and play their usual game as it'll be a cricket score. Arsenal quite clearly can yet decided to sit back and offer next to nothing for 90 minutes. You may argue City didn't look like scoring, but they came closer than 30+ shot Liverpool did against a crap United. But whether City looked like scoring or not is irrelevant, it's the approach of United/Arsenal I am comparing where the two teams are in very different places. Going to City and playing for a draw when it's just those two going for the title I can somewhat understand, but when there's a third team in the hunt (Liverpool), they should be going to City to try to win. Arsenal will likely look back at this fixture come the end of the season and wish they went for it rather than simply try avoid losing.

[@snipingsbc632]

Result is great. But the match showed more than anything that arsenal themselves think city are better than them. And that's why they played for 0-0, and didn't try to go toe to toe with them.

[@michaelroberts7241]

This is the point tho they see it as they got a point as a Liverpool fan I see it as they missed 2. how I thought when we played city it's a game you can win

[@tombroadbent204]

Shows how good Pep is. Arteta knows he can’t compete with Pep so resorted to parking the bus for 90 minutes 😂

[@3bladeninja21]

Beat him already. Took 4 points off 6 actually. I think Pep can't beat Arteta, mustering 2 shots on target over 180 minutes

[@muden10]

Arteta already beat pep twice this season.

[@jordanrtb8445]

Why cant anyone on this podcast admit when there teams had a bad game? 😂

[@1Luke.-]

City have never beaten Liverpool in anfield in any of their title wins. Arsenal needed to NOT lose and succeeded it's a good result, and it's not like arsenal didn't have chances to win.
