Very strange article, more vibes than facts. Disappointing to see.

100% stand by it. The way Arsenal frequently set up in these games, they can’t win the league.

Absolutely your right to think that, but what you’re saying is factually incorrect when it comes to not winning against city in recent years.

Admittedly, it should read ‘away games.’ This is what I was referencing.

Away games notwithstanding, these are arsenal-Liverpool h2h since 2022. We hadn't lost to them until last game. How did Liverpool win last year without beating arsenal? I'm not rejecting your stat, but numbers need context. If arsenal need to win, surely same must hold for other teams?

Arsenal v Manchester city, same time period.

And in case I get accused of cherry picking for choosing 2022, arsenal finished 21/22 on 5th with 69 points. City and Liverpool finished 93 and 92 respectively. If we are talking about arsenal challenging, I shouldn't even have included that last game! Over to you, Graham.

Fair enough.

Yeah it’s a bit just on the bandwagon of “arsenal is not attacking enough” and “they must win or else” without really looking at facts.

Very strange. Even acting like Liverpool and man city regularly used to go away and win against each other in their heyday!
