There's no Salah.
There's no star player.
And I just think in that cup final, sometimes when you're not playing well, you need someone to do something special.
And I just think you've got enough special players in the attack.
And that would worry me a little bit for the Champions League.
No, but I thought two years ago Saka and Odegaard were looking like, I was thinking, oh, God, these are the real deal.
These are like, this is going to be like Salah and De Bruyne type of, they're nearly there.
And they just never sort of, the team after the team are probably going to win the league.
But I think if Arsenal win the league this season, I don't think one of the attacking players will go, I've had an amazing season.
I've been brilliant this season.
We couldn't get out.
We saw that in the Premier League a few years ago, a couple of years ago, where a lot of teams were doing sort of that set-up.
So when I saw it, it was a little like, OK, that was a couple of years ago, we saw teams doing that, where they used to have that four, almost not pressing, but almost just sort of blocking the passes into midfield.
And sometimes something can surprise you.
I was just so shocked that when Arsenal came off at the second half, there wasn't something different to play through it.
And I thought that first 15, 20 minutes...
was so bad for Arsenal.
Yeah, it was bad, yeah.
Listen, City's done great, and I thought Rodri and Bernardo Silva were amazing, fantastic, but I just thought it was so bad from Arsenal to allow City.
I couldn't imagine City overpowering, it felt like they were overpowering them.
