Was looking at the league table and saw that despite Man City having been in shocking form, they are only 6 points behind us (Arsenal). I honestly believe that they will pass us and finish 2nd which will be a HUGE result which will lay bare just how horrific we have been this season. Arteta's tactics for much of the season have been horrific (by the way, i could not help laughing when I saw him pointing to his watch and talking to the 4th official) and our transfer dealings in the summer and so far this January, have been shocking!
I am resigned to a trophyless season and the worst one in the past 3 years.
League - Where will we finish

Leme guess you think City can make up 6 points on us as badly as they are performing but also think its impossible for us to catch Liverpool who are not playing and are only 6 points ahead of us in January?
You can't make this up the pessimism from Arsenal fans about their on team needs to be studied...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I really don't understand why you keep saying we're not playing well.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Probably because you're not.. you've dropped points in 2 of your last 3 games and snatched a winner in the dying minutes of the last game. If thats playing well to you... then please please continue to play well, in fact I hope you get better than you're currently playing lol
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We recovered and looked great against Forest in the second half, getting a point at a title rival is no bad thing and we should have won, unfortunately the keeper had a worldy. Then we battered Brentford who have a very good home record and kept a clean sheet. Yeah I hope both our teams continue doing what they're doing.

I am looking at History. Man City have a proven history of putting together crazy runs in the second half of the season. They have bought new players who at the very least will inject positivity into the club and we all know they have been playing much worse than the sum of their parts. Their injuries are light too. Those factors (in my opinion) mean they are better placed than we are. We have not brought in players this Jan after neglecting certain positions in the summer. Our ONE world class player in the front line who can score regularly is out through March/Apr if we are lucky and we have a small squad where an injury to a CB means reshuffling 3 players due to our other fit CB not being trusted.
I know it's easy to pooh-pooh what I am saying, but we have a history of bottling it, so what i said is not far fetched!

We have been "horrific" yet you are surprised we are "only" 6 points clear of City???
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No...it's more that I am lamenting the fact that in the year where City have been so bad by their standards, we have taken minimal advantage of it and are 6 pts clear, struggling to string results together, now have our best player out and have made zero moves in the transfer market 20 days in.
I would put 100 on City finishing ahead of us with confidence

City's next matches:
Chelsea
Arsenal
Newcastle
Liverpool
Spurs
Forest
----------------------------------------------------------------------
In Pep's time here, we have looked at these types of runs for them in the hope they drop points rather than any expectation. Would anyone be surprised if they went on to win 4 or 5 of those?

Speak for your own team, you don't need to hope anything for Arsenal. I never claimed we were playing well so my answer to your question doesn't apply to us.
You on the other hand think Liverpool are doing just great lol. So yes please do keep the same form, couple of draws here and last minute winners there would do us just nicely... 👍
Hopefully Arsenal can improve and take advantage of it.

Man City will struggle to get top 4 imo. They looked good last game but we saw against Brentford where they should have lost, how easy it is to cut through them.

8 big chances for PSG.
