Neville: Man City don't have Arsenal's defensive fear factor

in #sport6 days ago

Gary Neville on Sky Sports News on what's changed for Man City:

"The defensive stability and quality they have compared to what they had before.

"Against a couple of players they have in that back four, I won't name them, you just always feel like you've got a chance. Other teams feel encouraged.

"Sometimes when you play Arsenal and you see Gabriel, [William] Saliba, [Jurrien] Timber, you think, 'I'm not going to get a kick here.' You know before the game that you've got a real problem.

"I don't think teams are feeling like that against City right now. They feel like they can get at them."

On Erling Haaland's recent struggles: "He's been inactive.

"Sometimes they don't feed him as much as they should and he doesn't get the service.

"But now with [Omar] Marmoush, [Rayan] Cherki, [Phil] Foden, [Antoine] Semenyo around him, there should be a lot more happening.

"Today would be a good day to get back into it. Him against [Virgil] Van Dijk is always a major battle."
