The Rest Is Football
Man City Without Haaland & The “Boring Arsenal” Debate

And he's changed his coach multiple times.

Pep, people got on to be managers, Arteta, Maresca and so forth.

And I didn't, I don't mind the high line.

The Rest Is Football
Man City Without Haaland & The “Boring Arsenal” Debate

There's nothing wrong with the high line.

The Rest Is Football
Man City Without Haaland & The “Boring Arsenal” Debate

I feel like when we talk about high line as defenders, I was like, oh, it's a bit, as long as the team know what they're doing.

So when we was playing Spurs and there was winning 2-0, there's a time and a place to do it.

And if you're going to be high, all know what to do when you lose the ball.

And if you can't win the ball high, just give yourself an extra five yards.

Man City Without Haaland & The “Boring Arsenal” Debate

So in terms of that,

I don't mind it.

Man City Without Haaland & The “Boring Arsenal” Debate

But I have to say, being at the ground, Man City on the ball were amazing.

The Rest Is Football
Man City Without Haaland & The “Boring Arsenal” Debate

And they did it sort of in a different way.

The Rest Is Football
Man City Without Haaland & The “Boring Arsenal” Debate

Not something that they haven't done before.

Man City Without Haaland & The “Boring Arsenal” Debate

So they had the box in midfield.

The Rest Is Football
Man City Without Haaland & The “Boring Arsenal” Debate

So you had Gonzalez and O'Reilly as your two number sixes and then Foden and Reinders as your two number tens.

But the split, the strikers really...

Man City Without Haaland & The “Boring Arsenal” Debate

high and wide, so the width was coming from the strikers, so Mammouch down one side, Semenyo played on the right, and Newcastle just didn't know how to deal with it, because what they was doing, they was going really deep to get the ball, and then Foden and Reinders could get on the ball, so maybe Foden, then Reinders would make the run, then Semenyo would stay wide, Mammouch, and then they would come in, but Newcastle was only playing with three defenders.

The Rest Is Football
Man City Without Haaland & The “Boring Arsenal” Debate

They were at a loss, Newcastle, they couldn't cope with it at all.

The Rest Is Football
Man City Without Haaland & The “Boring Arsenal” Debate

They didn't know what to do.

Three centre-halves.
