In the last two seasons, Arsenal’s primary obstacle to winning the Premier League title has been Manchester City.
The Gunners have come close twice in successive terms, failing to secure the title on the final day of last season. Each time, Man City has edged them out for the crown, suggesting there might be aspects of City’s approach that Arsenal is missing.
Naturally, this raises the question of whether Arsenal needs to emulate the champions to finally overcome them and win the title. However, Arsenal defender and former Manchester City player Oleksandr Zinchenko insists the Gunners do not need to copy City to achieve this goal.
Zinchenko believes that Arsenal should focus on their strengths and continue developing their own style rather than trying to replicate Manchester City’s formula for success.
He said, as quoted by the Daily Mail:
‘I don’t think we need to copy someone like City.
‘Of course at the moment they are probably the best team in the world. If you look at the stats and titles they have won in the last couple of years, it is amazing.
‘You always need to look at the best but not be like them — we need to be on top of them.’
Just Arsenal Opinion
City is one of the best clubs in the world, and we can understand why this suggestion will arise.
However, they are not unbeatable, and we are really close to finally beating them to become England’s champions.

Clearly, MC finishing first has been the reason Arsenal had to settle for second; however, it actually feels like unlocking the Aston Villa puzzle last season was the primary obstacle to beating MC to the top.
Good
Zinny is one of the biggest reasons why we couldn’t close the gap on City The three who let us down the most are Zinchenko Martinelli Jesus We didn’t win the title last season because of these three players everyone else who played more than a handful of games performed admirably Timber was a huge loss because we relied on Zinny These are supposed to be three big players for us
