All the money Pep earns and he looks like he is wearing a £3 t shirt from Primark

It’ll be annoying if Arsenal win today. Suddenly it makes tomorrow tempting as hell just to play the strongest team. Beating Arsenal in a Final should be much easier than a City side, irregardless of how often we’ve beaten the latter recently.

Arsenal aren't exactly an easy team to beat. They do have mistake prone players but overall, they aren't exactly "easy' to beat. They're a top team.
They really aren't unless I'm missing white text. Top teams are in the top 4/5 places

:lol: no, they're not. A top team wouldn't be sitting in tenth place.

They are 10th on the league table. Finished outside of top 4 for 3 years running now.

Arsenal have a decent forward line, that’s about it. The rest of that team is mediocre at best.

Not necessarily, Arsenal had an awful first half to the season under a new manager. I think in the last 3-4 weeks they look like they are finally playing close to or approaching their potential. On their current form they are a top 4/5 team.

Their form also coincides with their switch to this 3-4-3 formation they are currently playing and having success with.

Jeez, City are so arrogant. Think they can stroll around and everyone is going to roll over

Arteta has the advantage of knowing City very well - more than any other coach except Guardiola.

Pep with the expression of a man who's wondering where his next fix is going to come from

I don't think that's really an issue here. City play only one way and everybody knows how. They just have some exceptional players so it's usually difficult to stop them. Not impossible though obviously.

Arsenal are much more compact in the 343 and are sensible in playing in the counter or waiting to play off mistakes.

City are all over the shop and are outnumbered across midfield. City would do well to have a Giroud type CF, but that's not Pep because he's too ignorant.

They are literally a mid table team. We know this because they’re in the middle of the table
