Graeme Souness now doubts Arsenal’s chances of winning the Premier League after watching their match against Manchester City.
The Gunners have been in fine form this season, but they faced a tough challenge against City early on in the game.
Arsenal was reduced to ten men before halftime, leading to one of their most defensive performances under Mikel Arteta.
City, one of the top clubs in the world, threw everything at Arsenal as they pushed to score while the Gunners held a 2-1 lead with a man down.
It took a remarkable defensive effort for Arsenal to secure a draw in the match, though they could have won if the game had ended just seconds earlier.
After watching the fixture, Souness now believes that Arsenal may have an inferiority complex when facing Manchester City.
Souness said in the Three Up Front podcast
“I tipped Arsenal to win the league at the start of the season, but I’m doubting myself now. I do think they’re getting better, but they’ve shown an inferiority complex when it comes to City. They were happy to sit back and take whatever came their way at the Etihad, without getting up the pitch and trying to cause a problem. I don’t think that was a great sign.”
Just Arsenal Opinion
It is baffling that we are being criticised for our performance against one of the top clubs in the world, especially because in our situation, most teams would have done the same thing.

You can take your goodwill elsewhere; we can do without it
Some times I feel those pundits,either they are bias or impressionistic.It’s known for any idiot that arsenal is one of the most attacking teams,play beautiful fluid football,so what happens,because we played vs the defending champion with less player all of a sudden Arsenal became a team playing with inferiority.
He makes a lot of sense. Even the fans/supporters here exhibit an inferiority complex where Ciry are concerned. Just saying…
The opinion of a failed football coach!!!!!!!!!! When it was 11 against 11 city was subdued until when the man of the match in the name of Oliver did his what he does best for man city. So at that point arsenal had the lead to protect & faught tooth & nail until the 98th minute though city finally levelled. It was the best option to defend.
