The Man City vs Arsenal clash ended without any goals. It looks even more depressing when we take a glance at shots on target stat: Arsenal 2 and Man City only 1.
After the game, Pep Guardiola was asked a question he tried to find the answer to throughout the whole game: "What is the solution playing against an opposition with a low block?"
The answer was simple but illegal in civil society: "Kill someone, maybe?"
The Spaniard added more about Arsenal's defence. He said: "We take the point. We tried, we didn't create much, they didn't create much."
"The defence so compact and we cannot regain the balls high pressing because there's long balls, second balls and they're really good with Havertz and all the physicality they have."
"When Rico came in, they were in that side. They had one or two chances in transitions, especially when we lose one or two balls, but it was a tight game, we were who we are. Maybe we miss a little bit in the final third but it isn't easy."
