"Mikel Arteta did not make a mistake by starting Kepa in goal instead of David Raya. Kepa is a top goalkeeper and while his mistake cost Arsenal a goal, it wasn't the only reason why the Gunners lost the game."
"Arsenal started to sit back in the second half and they invited pressure from Manchester City. They must learn to play dirty and send the ball long to relieve some pressure and position a higher block, rather than in their own box."
"If Kai Havertz had scored his early chance in the game, it could've been a completely different result. He needed to shoot a bit earlier in order to have more of the goal to aim at, but James Trafford produced a set of great saves - he deserves a lot of praise for his performance."
"Arsenal need to forget about this result and learn from their mistakes. Arteta will use Sunday's defeat to inspire his team for the remainder of the season and compete for the three major trophies they have a strong chance of winning."
Former Arsenal defender Sagna emphasized that the team's tactical approach in the second half led to their defeat against Manchester City. He noted that Kepa's mistake was not the sole reason for the loss. Sagna suggested that Arsenal should adopt a more direct style to relieve pressure and avoid sitting back. He also mentioned that an early chance missed by Kai Havertz could have changed the game's outcome. Sagna believes Arsenal must learn from this defeat and use it to motivate themselves for future competitions.
