DJBOB Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 (edited) It's interesting between City/Arsenal and Madrid/City. The latter have Vini, Rodrygo, Sane, Gnabry, and Musiala - all ball carriers that can devastate a team solo. Meanwhile City and Arsenal start Grealish/Foden/Silva/Martinelli/Saka. All good players in their own right, but none of them pacey ball carriers. Or if they are - they're actively instructed not to go for it and instead consistently play in these wide flank positions. A contrast in styles - great for consistent league play - but not so much for tournament 'magic' moments. Edited April 9 by DJBOB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more I see it the naughtier it looks, he knows what he's doing, first time I saw it I thought the defender clattered him and it was his own fault but there's more of a swing to it than that Edit fwiw I played vets football with Lee Hughes, he was an absolute master of that, every player that went to clatter him his body and his elbows were perfectly positioned so the defender did more damage to himself, he just read it every time Edited April 9 by villa4europe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJBOB Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 I'm always fascinated watching Arsenal/City play in the UCL these past few seasons. In the prem, let's face it - they're going to be significantly better than almost every club in the league bar maybe each other and Liverpool. But in the UCL, they look distinctly mortal since the opposing teams will usually have a Vini or a Sane that are just devastating their lumbering CB's as FB. This is not too dissimilar to what we did with Bailey on Gvardiol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewiek2 Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 This is the difference. man City will take a 2-1 loss confident they can overturn it at the Etihad. Arsenal though will know a home defeat gives them an uphill struggle second leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both Arsenal and City just lack any great 1v1 attackers. You see how City and Bayern are just having players go at their defenders and then the City and Arsenal players are always slowing everything down.
