Arsenal's problem is an inability to finish the chances we have a occasional mistake that let's us concede against the run of play. I mean we dominated periods of that game but as usual a lack of concentration and failure to convert chances cost us. Clubs like United and City have the quality to take advantage of that.

I think it was on MOTD, i may be wrong, but one of the pundits said, when United play well they win, when Chelsea play well they win, when Liverpool play well they win and when Arsenal play well you don't know what they're going to do. I think that sums up Arsenal pretty well compared to the other top teams. It's like when Chelsea and United play badly they manage to sneak a win whereas, as we saw last season, Liverpool could only get draws when they weren't playing at their best. I think a lack of defensive minded midfielders is Arsenal's major problem at the moment and was shown to be the case against City, it's all well and good when playing against a poor Everton side, but when they face a decent side that can counter attack there's problems.
