In fairness that was the point I was making without mentioning City

Fair play. I also think that we have looked a shadow of the team at the back without Saliba, I am not blaming the dropped points on Holding, but the difference in quality between him and Saliba is massive. Saliba brings quite a bit to the team with his distribution aswell as his defending.

Also, Xhaka and Partey have been poor in the last 2 games, Midfield has looked weak, I think you might have mentioned this earlier?

No, you fuck off.
Don’t preempt my response.

We won’t win the league. I don’t know any Arsenal fan who thought we would.
City were always going to steamroll us. It is disappointing to mess up today and make it easy for them though.

Fair enough…although I do think a large number of fans did expect us to win the title

I never really believed because I’m a natural pessimist

Indeed as much as I’ve been despairing over playing Holding, I think he’s actually done his best given his limited attributes. Today the defeat was on Partey and Saka mainly (why the fuck did Jesus give him the ball to take the pen)

Yeah Partey was horrible, similar to his performances when he first came to us. I agree regarding Saka, he's badly off form, almost hiding from the game at times today.

Saka almost always does take pels and tbh it might be the same reason we gave the ball to Jesus last time, i.e. to help him get confidence, a big shame though i think Jesus would have buried it
