Former Liverpool manager, Souness, stated in an interview that Arsenal has a natural sense of inferiority when facing Manchester City. This makes it difficult for Arsenal to overcome the obstacle that is Manchester City and claim the Premier League title.
Arsenal’s away game against Manchester City saw them take the lead 2-1 with only ten men on the field, but throughout the second half, Arsenal tried to hold onto their lead. However, they were equalized by Manchester City during injury time. Had they won this match, Arsenal would have topped the league table. Instead, after the draw, they dropped to fourth place, behind Liverpool and Villa.
Souness said, “Against Manchester City, Arsenal has an inferiority complex. They will say after the match that Manchester City is much stronger than us, and we will never win the Premier League title.”
“Even in the first half, Arsenal did not engage in a confrontation with Manchester City. Manchester City is an incredible team, and when you face them away from home, you must be brave. The current Arsenal side travels to Manchester City’s home ground, and before the match even starts, they lose psychologically. They accept any result at Manchester City’s home ground rather than trying to win the match. I think this is very dangerous.”
