Some persons have a different view about the game, they feel Guardiola made a huge gamble with the game by deciding to leave Kevin De Bruyne on the bench against a team like Arsenal who will always play good football and try to hold possession throughout the game but I feel Arsenal have made huge improvements and are on a fast track to matching City and that was practically put in play against Manchester City in that game.
I do not agree that Arsenal can be compared with City, Guardiola does what he sees fit, besides this is only the beginning of the season and perhaps he had reasons to do so with De Bruyne. Agree when the referee adds 11 minutes of extra time to the main time, this is not normal, but that’s not even the point, I don’t think that anything has changed much and therefore I think that Arsenal will not be able to compete with City on equal terms in the Premier League.
Even I am also agreed about this but still this was good performance from the Arsenal in this match, and we already have good rivalry between them in last season with things can go for another tough season because both coaches are learning from their mistakes and try to have better performance in this coming season even now Arsenal is having more burden but still we can expect impressive run because they already fix their few problems which is good, and now they are comparable with Manchester City for the title race.
Guardiola is having very good strategy which is now surely helping him and his team, hopefully now in Premier League he will be improved and will not allow his opponents for having any advantage for the title race.
