Got beaten in that Carabao Cup final, lost to Hampton in the FA Cup.
And then there was the nature of Saturday's game where Bournemouth really, they did a number on them.
I think Arsenal can have concerns about how they're so often beaten in man-to-man duels.
They didn't have any concerted spell of pressure.
And yeah, so while I think maybe the pressure can work in a different way, momentum is right now only going one way.
And that is the biggest concern for Arsenal.
Yeah, I mean, to be fair, City looked a little bit anxious early on.
I think maybe they didn't expect what Chelsea did.
Chelsea went, I think, back to what Rossignol had tried to do, especially coming from man for man in his first few weeks.
And Rossignol is good at that kind of thing.
But obviously, there's a whole other range of issues swirling around Chelsea.
Guardiola, as he has displayed a lot over the past few weeks, not least in the Carabao Cup final, he responded himself.
Chelsea this time couldn't respond to that.
And from there, the game was pretty much won.
I mean, two players that actually have been very influential for City, especially in 2026.
are Ryan Shirky who unlike anyone at Arsenal right now looks like he's enjoying his football and Nico Reilly who I think is obviously the young player of the season another towering header he's having a great season yeah his goals already secured one trophy for City in that Carabao Cup final and with the way yesterday went maybe set them on the path to another but
Yeah, totally.
There's a lot of...
dissent around the club, unhappiness about the direction of what, even to the most basic question of what do the ownership, the ownership primarily being a private equity group, what do they actually want out of this?
How clear is the plan?
