Live Manchester United vs Arsenal 8-2 review – Guardiola speaks about Arsenal and Manchester City

After Arsenal’s humiliating 8-2 defeat at the hands of Manchester United, many people started to talk judgmental about Arsene Wenger. However, his colleague Pep Guardiola stood in defence of the Gunners boss.

Guardiola explained that poor performance by the Arsenal was rather the result of the departure of club’s key players in recent season, Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri who had gone to Barcelona and Manchester City, and that the Gunners were forced to play with unfamiliar starting eleven with Jenkinson, Traore and Coquelin, because of the many injured and suspended players. Guardiola pointed out the positive work his counterpart had done for the Arsenal during the past 15 years: “I agree with (Sir) Alex Ferguson’s opinion about (Arsene) Wenger, when he said that he didn’t know if there could be another coach who could do as much as he has for Arsenal during all these years. It’s not just the departure of (Samir) Nasri and Cesc (Fabregas) but also (Jack) Wilshire’s injury that means he can’t play and all the other injuries across the squad. They have always progressed far and been competitive in the Premier League over the past decade, always with a very characteristic style of football. When you think of Arsenal you think of a team that has played very nice football. The winner is not always the good one as the loser is not always the bad one. In sport there are many good things that have nothing to do with winning or losing. I think what Wenger has done for soccer in general…Arsenal is big. Of course you can always go to Manchester’s stadium, who have so many good players, and Arsenal with so many injuries these things can happen.”

Guardiola also keeps an eye on the other Manchester club, City which had brilliant show at White Hart Lane in their 5-1 win against the home team. Spaniard said: “They (Manchester City) can do it (win the Champions League). If you see the players and you see their manager they can do it. Maybe they don’t have the history in the last years to play in the Premiership or Europe, but if you see those names you nominated right now they are awesome. Dzeko, Aguero, Tevez, Silva, Barry, Balotelli, Yaya Toure, Kolo Toure. All of them are top, top, top players and they started very good in the Premiership.”
