We’ve been on a fantastic run and it was always going to come to an end at some point. They deserved to win, we started well but gave away a cheap goal so quickly after ours. We had opportunities, but they were giving us problems with their running against the backline.

City manager

We’ve had trouble with( McKenzie) for a while, we just have trouble getting anything going off of him at all. When we’re playing well we figure out ways to get guys on and create pressure. There were not a lot of opportunities today.

It’ll be good for the team, we have a gap there so the club will work hard at looking to get someone in, hopefully fairly soon the two boys (Vardy and Ndidi) will be back and it gives us a nice strong squad.

Arsenal don’t have a better manager that can lead this club in this year and the next, i don’t have to give publicly my support because he has it. He’s one of the best managers I’ve ever worked with and seen. I’m pretty sure he will turn things around and perform like everyone expects. When a club comes from not a good period, it needs time.
