It's not really a suprise this though.
Got to take this on the chin, City are years ahead of us and Ten Hag is only just getting going. Had the Queen not died, I'd have put money on us beating Leeds at home and we'd be in the top four, which is the immediate aim on the list of things for Ten Hag to achieve, catching City is not on that agenda this season.
This doesn't erase the fact we have beaten both Arsenal and Liverpool this season. The very Arsenal who are fapping over two players who City quite literally did not need in Jesus and Zinchenko.
City cast off's are up there as Arsenal's best players.
That's how strong and evolved City's squad is, it's not surprising they beat us at all as they are miles ahead of us at this point and for a while more yet.
Just an arse we had to have four weeks off before the match.
