ESPN FC · The Football Reporters: Will cautious Arteta cost Arsenal the title? · 27 Jan 2026 podcast

And that was even on the back of what they did against Man City.

Because I think there was still a kind of question about the Derby, whether we united really, really good, which I think they were, or was it that City were really bad, which I think they were.

So going to Arsenal, I think people, fans thought that maybe the established order would be kind of back again and Arsenal would win relatively comfortably, particularly when they go ahead.

I just think that Michael Carrick deserves an immense amount of credit for what he did because I don't think he's made that many massive changes.

Obviously, the formation is different than the one we saw under Ramrim.

Aside from all the tactical stuff, and I'm sure we'll get onto all that stuff, but aside from that, that is the biggest thing that he's done and he deserves a lot of credit for that.

There was one thing that I thought was really, really interesting that...

when the goal goes in to make it 2-2 usually we would have seen if that would have been Amrim the entire team would have sat back and taken what they had and I've got a lot of sympathy for Ruben Amrim I've said on this podcast a lot of times but
