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.
