Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola said his side can ill afford a repeat of the “under-14s” defending that saw them thrashed 5-1 by Arsenal in February.
Guardiola’s men travel to the Emirates again on Sunday, already trailing the Gunners and defending champions Liverpool in the Premier League title race. City lost two of their opening three games to Tottenham and Brighton but have bounced back with victories over Manchester United and in the Champions League over Napoli.
The thrashing at the hands of his former protege Mikel Arteta was one of the low points in a miserable campaign for Guardiola. “The game last season, we started like many times last season, like an under-14s team and gave away a thousand million goals,” said Guardiola when asked to reflect on his last visit to the Emirates. “We were, a lot of the time, pretty good considering how it was last season, but the last 15-20 minutes were a disaster. We forgot to do what we had to and it was easy for Arsenal.”
