Esteemed Kompany host Steven Mcinerney reacts to Manchester City’s 1-nil defeat to Arsenal in the video below. The game was a defensive affair with both sides successfully neutralising the other. It took a deflected Gabriel Martinelli strike late on to separate the two sides at the Emirates Stadium.
For Manchester City, it was another loss without Rodri. Following Sunday’s defeat, the champions lost all three games that their midfield general was suspended for. Rodri’s moment of madness against Nottingham Forest has proven costly for the treble winners.
It was another abject performance from the City midfield in the loss to Arsenal. Pep Guardiola’s side struggled to create any clear-cut chances besides the early ones off a corner. The midfield lacked any creativity and drive, which has coincided with Rodri’s suspension, and the long-term injury to Kevin De Bruyne. The European champions have the players capable of filling the void, they just need time together to gel.
