I haven't forgot that they outplayed us last season. We weren't at our best that day, so they weren't outplaying City in their stride but what stood out is how they did it. Toe to toe it felt like. It's usually only Liverpool who can do that in the PL. They are much better than they ever were last season so far, in terms of the patterns of play IMO. However, we are much more ruthless this season because we have Haaland(who's rubbing off on some of the class players we already head). So we will see how that first meeting goes. Still think they(Arsenal) need that talisman signing, that can take games by the scruff of the neck(Wright was alluding to a big signing waiting if they get the CL spot), before they can challenge City to the same extent Klopp's Liverpool have.
We best be ready when the Arsenal game comes either way. We also best be ready with the netspend spreadsheets, if they start telling us "This means more, because we did it the right way". As a club, they'll have spent more than Pep's City have spent in the same period (including academy player sales for both clubs), if they spend over £5m in Jan, which they might. CTID!
