ESPN FC
Battle of Manchester

First game against Manchester City, it's going to be at Old Trafford, 70,000 people screaming for this victory, because I think even to look at the table,

ESPN FC
Battle of Manchester

This is how much things have changed.

ESPN FC
Battle of Manchester

Last time there was a derby, United were two points ahead of City and now you fast forward to this point and they're 11 points behind.

ESPN FC
Battle of Manchester

They've had a very, very tough spell in that time, but this could be a great way for them to get towards that final end of the season because we know there's no FA Cup, no Carabao Cup, no European football, so these fixtures are right here.

ESPN FC
Battle of Manchester

Yeah, I think so.

ESPN FC
Battle of Manchester

I think so.

ESPN FC
Battle of Manchester

I think Kuzinov's done well, Max Delaney's done well, but I think to be able to bring in a full international at this point in the season, I think is great.

ESPN FC
Battle of Manchester

Yes, the premium is there in paying ยฃ20 million for him, but maybe he would have come in the summer, but the necessity is there now.

ESPN FC
Battle of Manchester

I think if they want to be successful between now and the end of the season, then some of the gambles that maybe we've seen in recent weeks...

ESPN FC
Battle of Manchester

for as well as they've done, you can't really afford to have that, say, when the push comes to shove, when you're getting towards March and April time.

Battle of Manchester

I think for them to be able to bring in a player like that, somebody that's in their mid-20s, because one thing about City's defenders, some of them, like looking at John Stones, looking at Nathan Ake and the like, they are getting a little bit older than, say, you would hope for to be building a team for the future.

ESPN FC
Battle of Manchester

But in Gehi, someone who's in his mid-20s, I think it's a great signing, not just for now, but for the future of City as well.

ESPN FC
Battle of Manchester

Yeah, it's more so.

ESPN FC
Battle of Manchester

As I've been watching him play throughout the season, it's fair to say that he is a good player.

ESPN FC
Battle of Manchester

You could argue a very good player.

ESPN FC
Battle of Manchester

But for the way that Arsenal play, at times, it doesn't seem like he suits them.

ESPN FC
Battle of Manchester

There are so many games where, at times, he almost feels anonymous.

ESPN FC
Battle of Manchester

And it's good that, in some ways, yes, he can battle it out with the defenders and so on.

ESPN FC
Battle of Manchester

But when he comes up against a bunch of defenders who've got the same sort of physicality as him...

ESPN FC
Battle of Manchester

then it all of a sudden doesn't look the same, doesn't seem of a benefit to Arsenal, and maybe there's a certain amount of control that they lose in a game because, say, he's involved in that manner.
