Just back from a week's holiday a consequence of which was that I missed the Arsenal game. I've just managed to watch the first half on City+ and a couple of conclusions have come immediately to mind:-
- Arsenal were worse than awful, far worse than Norwich, and none of the qualities they hoped Arteta would bring to the team were at all evident. He must be in real danger of not seeing September out as manager at the Emirates because Arsenal seem in real danger of relegation if that shambles is the best he can do.
- Harry Kane would have been a good addition to the squad but Ronaldo wouldn't. None of the other strikers touted on Bluemoon were worth going for (Haaland was not available) because Torres and Jesus are showing exactly what they're worth and we might be forced into the belief that Pep was actually telling the truth when he said he was very happy with his squad.
