When it comes to City you can 100% say they have a better squad. With Arsenal I disagree that they have better players than us or many other teams. They are just well coached, young/fit and some players are in the form of their life. But man for man there is may Odegaard/Rice that i would say would immediately improve or is better than what we have. Saliba/Gabriel (Gabriel is having a good 18 mnths but is he better than Konate/Matip/Quansah) in my view no. Saliba looks a very good player.
We have had very stop start season with red cards at the start then injuries through out. As soon as a player or 11 hits form (1 game even) then boom one of those 11 are injured.
Our midfield i feel is our weak area. Too slow and small, too easily bypassed and not mobile enough to recover. Endo massive spirit and application but he doesn't cover ground and our play requires him to be box to box.
But on the point overall, Rice & Odegaard only, Arsenal are good not world class. We are in this race with them and City and all 3 because they know how to win and are pretty well managed.
