Let's get the Manchester City perspective.
You hear that tone from Pep Guardiola, Daniel, and it's sort of talked about that performance around the development of the team, the way the team is progressing.
But they've just signed, as Micah says, Antoine Semenya for ยฃ65 million.
Now, Mark Gahey for another ยฃ20 million.
They could have got him for free in January.
They've done it now.
That seems to be a team that wants to win right now, that is not prepared to just let Arsenal
take the league title.
Yeah, I mean, they're trying their best to figure out a way.
I think this season is probably the one season, maybe in the midfield areas as well, that they're lacking a true partner for, say, a Rodri or a Nico Gonzalez.
I think Reinders is quite attacking.
Cherky's attacking.
Foden's attacking.
So in turn, you've got
a multitude of attacking-minded midfielders in there with only one who's thinking about the defensive side of the game alongside the wingers who are also attacking but their job's to defend.
I think that's why City are quite much easier to play against.
They've had the Kovacic of this world, the Gundogan of this world, and the list goes on.
I think now the future of the team will be the involvement is can they become, again, to Mike's point,
more difficult to break down and get chances against.
They usually control games.
