And then, you know, we kind of lose our way in the game before we could get the substitutes on.
before the game I questioned with Kushinov playing at centre back with Ake who's not had a lot of football for a while thought maybe that's an area where Arsenal could exploit them it didn't they never made any difference they were still very good defensively they were organised Rodri and Midfield ran the game
And I just think Cherokee has given Manchester City, not just Manchester City, I think football, there is so much to it that I love about how he plays.
We see so many players now, they keep it simple, they play in the pockets.
That freedom, that fabric, he's the sort of player that I want to watch when I watch football.
Doing the skills, that might get a little bit of stick when he's keeping the ball up.
I don't care what people say.
We see goalkeepers doing drag backs and not wanting to put their foot on the ball.
I think he's got something about him.
He's different and that's what the football needs.
I think it all fell down for Arsenal.
In the first half, I thought in the first 20 minutes, they knew exactly what they needed to do in terms of their press.
In that second half, they did what Arsenal have been doing in recent weeks and going really low.
Then you're allowed Man City to get on the ball, be confident, and then they just couldn't get out.
Righty was screaming up there saying, where's Martinelli?
Get him on, they needed an out.
Good running power in that first half, but in that second half, they just couldn't get up.
I think, going back to your point, though, Ian, I could not agree more.
Now, I know people say, you know, sentiment, and he's played in the earlier rounds.
Kepa is not as good as Rea.
