Manchester - Gary Neville had predicted the defeat to Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium, calling the defense force for The Gunners as a weak point. But he proved to be wrong and actually be impressed.
Neville so one person who always doubted the Arsenal defense force. Not solely because of the style of play that is applied, but the former Manchester United defender assess Wenger often leave the defense exposed without the help of the other lines.
No wonder if they had never able to win in away games against teams kinds of Manchester City, Chelsea, and Manchester United since October 2011. The new notes stopped when Santi Cazorla et al. conquering City 2-0 at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday (18/01/2015).
"I was wrong and I'm glad because it proved wrong. We have seen so many examples over the past four or five years Arsenal capitulate that if you offered me the opportunity to return to play as a defender Arsenal, I would say no. That would not be fun," said Neville told Sky Sports.
"I must say, they are exposed and do not have an appreciation of their defenders when they are in trouble."
"But today they are protected in the whole field. (Hector) Bellerin had once conquered James Milner in the first half and Aaron Ramsey are close to him. And you expect it because in the big matches, you can not rely on the last one on one, "he added.
In the game, Arsenal look different. Facing game attack the host, with the last Arsenal. All the players they play disciplined in keeping the defense area to make City helpless in the first 45 minutes. Throughout the first half, only one shot that successfully released the team made by Manuel Pellegrini.
"I've seen it too many times at Arsenal. Today, the defender they were never exposed. This is one of the four lines of the performance of the best defenders I've ever seen. (Laurent) Koscielny and (Per) Mertesacker may not be as tired as ever looked. they are calm, relaxed, controlled, and not involved in any matter until the end of the game, "said Neville.
"It was a very good performance and I am happy to say that I was completely wrong when trying to estimate the first defeat of Arsenal," he said.
Arsenal solid performances paid off with three points. Mistakes City players helped them win the fight. Cazorla scored the first goal from the penalty spot an error fruits Vincent Kompany who prop Nacho Monreal in the penalty box.
While the second goal, defenders City failed to anticipate the movement of Olivier Giroud well so as to welcome Cazorla free kick with a header.
