They have a stronger attack on the basis of Aguero. I don't think our midfield is particularly better than theirs either. Are Ramsey, Coq and Ozil/Cazorla really better than Yaya, Fernandinho and Silva? A title winning midfield?
Defensively they were shit last year but I know who I'd wager on to improve most in this area...and it's not us.
Cech is an order of magnitude better than Hart, though.
NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
By a magnitude. No doubt about it.Are Ramsey, Coq and Ozil/Cazorla really better than Yaya, Fernandinho and Silva? A title winning midfield?
But we have a codpiece for a manager so it doesn't really matter who we have in the squad as he's quite capable of turning anyone to shite.

I don't think there's loads in it, but I do think they get a lot more from their key players than we do with ours.
Whether that's the fault of the manager or our guys not being as good as we think is up for debate.
I think the debate is long over. So many teams, a stream of different players, same result over and over. One constant.

I do think our midfield is better than theirs IF the right players are played in the right positions. Mind you, I am not saying we are better by miles but I do think we are slightly better than theirs.
Like I said, there isnt much difference. May be City shade us a tiny bit overall but no way are they leagues above us. The difference is the manager.
Arsene Wenger, the only football manager that got paid 8 million quid to do nothing but sit on his arse..
I do think their midfield is better than ours, but not by that much. Having a world class striker like Aguero in front of them makes a big difference. The better the players in front of them, the more playmakers thrive.
In our case, having an average striker with no pace up front, and a CM with no pace on the right makes our midfield look a lot worse than it actually is.
The problem is Wenger never plays our players in the right position so it kind of ends the argument about whether our midfield is better than theirs.
As said by another poster, their squad is just far more balanced than ours, they have bought specific players for specific roles.
