Well, you did say, but then what do you know?
Anyway, Jules, I trust, but you, I'm not so sure.
Arsenal might not win the game in the first 20 minutes.
What Arsenal do quite well is they grind teams down and eventually when they get that goal, like they did against Aston Villa, where it took them a time to get that first goal, and then they play with confidence, then they steam forward, then the players sort of release themselves almost at times and they look at an excellent side.
They do have periods in the game where you think, have they run out of steam?
But when they get their confidence and they have a good moment in the game, they then start to really put pressure on the opposition.
And I think they're going to do that against Manchester United.
They were very poor against Bodoglin.
I mean, Glimt, they just didn't perform.
And it's, again, the same back four almost that played against Manchester United.
And if you have struggles defensively, and Manchester City had it in both those games where they just didn't look athletic enough, they were run past too many times, there was too many spaces in between their defenders, there was too many spaces between each block of defenders.
it gives the opposition loads of encouragement.
And then you start to wonder, you know, do I close down, do I drop off?
We talked about structure earlier on in the show.
There was no structure about Manchester City in the last two games.
