What really happened to Man City and what happened to Haaland in today's game? The champions dropped point today and same as the always second place club in the last 2 seasons, Arsenal. Today the upset is not what many fans expected especially the Arsenal fans, I was expecting Liverpool to either lose or draw the game against Brighton but the Anfield guys won the game due to the carelessness of the Brighton players. I don't think Liverpool came out with all they have and you'd believe me that since the game against Chelsea, Liverpool haven't been playing in their best, play so slow and not as fast as they were against Manchester United and other games before the Chelsea game. I believe is not yet over for Arsenal and at the end of the season the title challenge will be between Man City and Arsenal.

This week is a shocking week for many people especially those who bet on Manchester City and Arsenal to win, this week is not funny, I said before the match started that Arsenal would find it difficult because Newcastle is playing at home and that will give them full confidence to play against Arsenal, if we look at Newcastle performance in their stadium they are very strong and that is why Chelsea can't deal with them even in Carabao cup, Newcastle score goal from the first half of the match and that is how the match ended with just one goal without allowing Arsenal to score.

I'm not surprised by the defeat of Manchester City, Manchester City players are not complete because many of them are injured and those who are injured are very important to the team, many people think Pep Guardiola is a good coach and he can play and win a match without his good players have seen that Pep Guardiola can not coach without having good players, We can see that the absent of Kevin DE Bruyne and Rodri is affecting the team, even if Rodri did not affect the team Kevin DE Bruyne is needed in the team.

Arsenal are always putting themselves on a panic level when they play teams like Newcastle, Aston Villa even Brentford, you see the Gunners playing as if they have already lost the game. By allowing Newcastle to score first without recording up to 10+ shot on target shows that they are not putting pressure on Newcastle, just 1 shot on target and the man Saka wasn't impressive, to be sincere all the front line including the defenders wasn't in the game. I never expected what I saw from Arsenal at all, sometimes I ask if this is how they will dethrone Manchester City this season. As for City they can come back to winning ways as long as is Pep that is coaching them and if they start winning it will be hard to catch up with them, to me the injuries are not that effect to the team compared to how is affecting Arsenal.
