yesterday in terms of that inability to attack the teams consistently you know that they'll have long periods like the better teams in Champions League will have long periods of having the ball and it will ask questions of Arsenal then but I still think Arteta should just remind his team and where they actually are in the Premier League that they've got such a healthy lead at the moment and you do look at City and think they just can't consistently they drop too many points and that's probably why Arsenal have got enough of a lead at the moment but in head-to-head's

That was what City accused Arsenal of the last season, wasn't it?

At the Etihad where, I'm not sure who came out and said it, but one of the City players said, we could tell, they just came in for the draw.
