When people say Mikel Arteta should be sacked, I ask who is the manager they want to replace him. He’s doing what he can, it’s a pity they did not invest in a lethal striker. Imagine what they could have accomplished with someone like Haaland and Cherki on their squad. Well, the match is over and the scoreline is 2-1.

I don't know the best man for the job now but iny opinion I think Arteta doesn't have what it takes to win the league for Arsenal based on his current playing pattern. What Arteta is doing is not enough to give Arsenal the league he should get good attackers to replace some of the players he has in the team since he has tried with different players and nothing is working. Believe me if Manchester City is to play Arsenal again they will still defeat them cause the squad is full of average players.

Arsenal has lost their rhythm again as have always been speculated by sports fans across the world that they will suffer defeats and play poorly towards the last part of the season and that’s what is just happening now. I don’t think if this is a cause on Arsenal but whatever it is they should have known better before now in order to prove their critics wrong. Arsenal started the season very strong and if they have continued that way till this game I don’t think city will be able to defeat them. Now they have a big mountain to climb in order to save their title winning hope and from All indications they must have to win every other remaining premiership game if they could stand a chance to win it.

[Uhde]

i like Arsenal. last year, they bottled the championship despite being 10 points ahead. This year, they had a huge advantage again but couldn't maintain the gap with Man City. They left everything to this final match and lost...
now the advantage is with City. Unless they make a massive mistake, they will be champions. and their remaining fixtures are very easy and once Manchester City gets into a rhythm, they are a team that simply doesn't lose these kinds of games.

Arsenal have failed to win the Premier League this season again, what a shameful season for Arteta they just need to sack the coach and bring new one because I don't think Arteta can achieve trophies for Arsenal. Every season they will do well when the season as started to ends they will start to perform very poor what a bad game for them today against Manchester City. I know to win Manchester City at home he won't be a easy thing for Arsenal and they lose all the three point.

Manchester City will face burnley this week and that will be a clear three point for Manchester City and they will top the league. With all the chances Arsenal have this season they can't keep the gaps. From 9 point gaps to zero gaps what a new bad season for Arteta, they should just try and perform better in the rest of there league fixtures and do well in the ucl and we will see if they can get a trophy this season or not.

yeah. fact is Guardiola and Manchester City won't let the title slip away from this point on... Arsenal is on track to break their own record by finishing second in the Premier League for the fourth year running.

[Abdulzuruku01]

A very exciting match between Manchester City and Arsenal, I didn't expect that the difference was only 3 points, I bet on Arsenal winning this season but it doesn't seem to end the same again, considering that you lose consistency again this season, especially in important matches like now that cannot be won, even in the previous match from Bournemouth, and now they have lost twice in a row.
If they can lose the premier league at least if they can get the champions league trophy it will be enough to ease the pain, but if not both I think the gunners will be very disappointed very heavily this season if they fail again and again.

The kind of challenge I expected from Arsenal in this match wasn't there, throughout the first half they lacked confidence it was towards ending they started playing well which it was too late for them because Manchester City was already leading. Mikel Arteta has proven that he's not capable of winning a trophy for Arsenal, and in my opinion, there's no point of extending his contract, Arsenal should get a new coach that can do the job perfectly, if they want to win a trophy. I have lose hope for themI don't think they can win premier league trophy this season which will be very embarrassing, although people don't feel disappoint for Arsenal not winning a trophy again because even champions league many people believe Arsenal will not reach final and if they do they are not capable of lifting the trophy.

lol proud results.
This is what happens when the end of season scare always happens and now Arteta is doing the same thing again when the trophy is in sight but they can't get it just because they can't maximize the advantage they have.

Now the 3 point gap is still there but Manchester City's 1 game remaining should be enough to make the situation an advantage for them so I don't feel this is good for Arsenal.
With the conditions that occur now I no longer know what Arsenal should do because as long as they are with the same pattern it is not impossible that the runner-up specialist has become their nickname in the future.

Arteta will go, everyone frowns at how he's about to end this season a failure in the premier league, Arsenal isn't meant to rely on miracle, wishing for city to lose their games. They were far ahead, had city been in their position Arsenal won't come any closer, Arteta seem to be confused everytime it gets to the end of the season, some are beginning to question whether he's working for Pep.

It's funny how they where lamming about winning a quadruple this season but now it seems like the only quadruple they would achieve is finishing the Premier League second again for the fourth time in a row. Am not shocked at the outcome of this match as u had expected it, but what us baffling me is that Arsenal chose to bottle the previous matches before this match and with Man City having a game in hand. They are definitely drawing point as Man City faces Burnley.

I don’t expect much from Arsenal anymore, they still going to end the season in the position which they have been ending the season previously. Arsenal has the opportunity to win the premier league title this season, but they about to lose the opportunity already. Manchester city performance has not been consistent from the beginning of the season, and Arsenal has been leading them with reasonable amounts of points, but it’s surprising that Manchester city is already covering it up, and the points difference now is just 3 points, which Manchester city is having a outstanding match.

LoL, this sounds funny I must say. The thing is that I don't actually know what to say about them because I'm just fed up, they are talking about wining quadruple is this actually coming from their fan or arsenal precisely? If so what makes them think that wining quadruple is that easy, I could remember their previous champions league as they where struggling to win sporting CP imagine sporting CP not to talk of Bayern Munich and few others, with the look of things i won't be surprise if arsenal end up trophyless this season because their performance lately doesn't show any sign.

This is a clear example of that saying that it's not always he who first started running and stayed ahead that often ends up winning the race, I wont say that I am not surprised, as an Arsenal fan, I am surprised because I had initially believed that there was no way my favorite club aren't winning the premier league title this season, but unfortunately, things have turned around..

I don't know if to say that it's the break the team took from premier league to play in the champions and other leagues that shifted their focus and now, they lost that focus or is arsenal problems somewhat spiritual, I am not disappointed in the team losing against Manchester city, but first losing to Bournemouth is what angers me the most about Arsenal.
Anyways, maybe the club really loves end every premier league season in the second place, so congrats to them 😏

When people say Mikel Arteta should be sacked, I ask who is the manager they want to replace him. He’s doing what he can, it’s a pity they did not invest in a lethal striker. Imagine what they could have accomplished with someone like Haaland and Cherki on their squad. Well, the match is over and the scoreline is 2-1.

If Mikel Arteta fail to win the Premier League title this season, he should be sacked because it's obvious he can't deliver Arsenal the Premier League title they have been trying so hard to win, and for the manager to replace Mikel Arteta, Arsenal Management has already identify Fabregas as his possible replacement if he bottle the title this season. Mikel Arteta had the backing of Arsenal management and they bought him the players of his choice during the summer transfer window, so don't say that Arsenal didn't invest in a lethal striker.

[Balmain]

Van Dijk is one of the best central defenders and he secured the victory against Everton. Liverpool were poor in this match as well they didn't play well. Van Dijk scored one of the most important goals of the season. The manager needs to change the team has been struggling with productivity since the beginning of the season, not just in one or two matches, but in every game. Arne Slot won't be permanent someone else will come in his place next season, and frankly, they need to. With this squad, they could have won the championship this season.

It is not even a matter of should he would be sacked. At this point there is a lot of reason to believe that arsenal are doing this on purpose because I don't understand why they worked hard to get to this level only to end up. Manchester city has to just win their next match and increase the goal difference between them and arsenal, Manchester city are definitely going to win the league title.

After this season, I highly doubt if Arteta will be able so seal a Premier League trophy as this was suppose to be his year but he ending it like he want to bottle it. I bet the top brass and board members will be bent after spending all this money for them to finish second once again. I feel it would be hard to get another coach that will even finish second. They just have to weigh there options.

Arsenal players want to win silverwares, so I disagree with you that Arsenal players are purposely allowing the second team in the Premier League table to overtake them when the season is remaining few matches to end and win the Premier League title. If Arsenal don't win the title this season, it's enough reason to believe that someone laid a cause on Arsenal not to win the Premier League title. Manchester City just need three points in their next match to top the table and increase their chances to win the title.

I feel and I know it's fact that every player wants to be recorded in history by wing trophies and accomplishments that's why players will always move from a lesser club to a club that gives them better chances of winning a tittle. As for the Arsenal players, I Don't think the faults rest on the player but the on the manager who keeps playing them defensively and the player has gotten used to that, so it will take time for a change to start.

There is absolutely no reason to believe that Arsenal are bottling the league on purpose. They haven’t won the premier league in over two decades, there is no way they bottle their shot on a trophy on purpose. Arsenal haven’t been winners for so long, and I think it’s affecting them. They just need one trophy to validate their efforts, then they can go on to win even more trophies.

[Agbam]

If you are still believing that Arteta has a good plan for Arsenal you still have the opportunity to rethink right now because if the game ends in 2:1 as it is right now then be sure that Arsenal will not be winning the league again this season.

The management of Arsenal should kindly replace Arteta because he doesn't have a good tactics that can give Arsenal a trophy, from my own observation in this game we may see Manchester City scoring another goal because the game has become one sided as Arsenal is totally lost in the game.

What's your take ?

What the fuck are you saying? What do you mean lethal striker? Didn’t he have the opportunity of signing one and he brought in Victor Gyokeres and there are other players in the team. Last season we said it was because he didn’t have a striker now you want to make more excuses for him.

He has his own players for the role of Haaland and Cherki( the same guy that was criticised before now).

There’s no excuse for what’s happening to Arsenal if they fail to win the title, a new coach should be brought in cos obviously Arteta ain’t got shit.

Arsenal is my club but they are a big shame and they would have done everything possible just for them.to equalize thay game but they allowed Manchester City to win and arsenal ia nuat not ready to win any title because they are almost losing everything already and after bragging and could not winning anything today after so had to see that they are able to to win but that did not happen and every other person and arsenal are only prepared when ot comes to the mindset but they are not really ready to win.

And I wished that Arteta was going to be changed because for the past six years now we don't have results so what we want should be that we have to yske this opportunity serious sot that we are going to be ale to to since its already hard keeping up and I was angry we lost the game.

What do you mean Arsenal didn't invest to buy a striker? They just bought Gyökeres a few months ago paying quite a lot of money for him. I'm not surprised he didn't perform very well because usually strikers coming from Portugal don't score a lot once they go to other leagues, especially a competitive league like the Premier League. The reality is also that there not to many great strikers available on the market right now. Of course Arsenal will never be in the position to get players such us Kane, Mbappé and Haaland, so the options are limited.

Arsenal aren’t a very good team like people always talked about them to be, I have know for a long time that Arsenal can’t win the Premier League and it will be always difficult for a low mentality team to win the Premier League Arsenal players played like they weren’t ready to win the game today, it feels more like they were comfortable with a single point, men wins a Premier and not boys, I think people like you have always thought that Arsenal is going to win the Premier League, you put your hopes on teams like Arsenal and you will always get disappointed because they have been know as bottlers, Arsenal blew the Premier League wide open for loosing to Bournemouth, and I really don’t understand why Arsenal haven’t won the Premier League by now, they should have been topping the table with the smallest of margin of 18 points gap by now, which is the best way to win a Premier League Title, you win the Premier League before it gets to remaining 5th game.
