“Defending like Champions” won’t win the league for Manchester City

By Ulysse Pasquier, writing from Montreal

The top-of-the-table clash between Arsenal and Manchester City may not have been the goalscoring display we had hoped for, it certainly has given us a lot to talk about based on the teams’ performances. The game ended in a 0-0 draw but there was nothing boring about it as City survived countless Arsenal attacks in what was truly an impressive defensive performance. Mancini’s approach was however met with much criticism, which I though was justified and I will attempt to explain why. Indeed I believe the midweek game not only showed that the Gunners are Alex Ferguson’s biggest worry but also that Manchester City are simply not ready to lift the Premier League trophy.
