Premier League legend urges Arsenal to attack Man City and throw everything

Arsenal’s attack should be attentive against Manchester City.

Premier League legend Wayne Rooney wants Arsenal to make their attack stronger against Man City in a potential title decider.

Former Man United star urges Arteta to ask his boys to throw everything they’ve got against the Sky Blues as it could be the only way they get something out of that game.

Manchester United, like Arsenal, were in a situation where they simply needed not to lose against Manchester City. In 2011-12, Manchester City won through a Vincent Kompany header, which meant United’s game plan did not go to plan.

City went on to win the league by goal difference. Rooney still believes that if they had played to win that game, they would have won it and most likely the league in 2011–2012.

“That was another title decider of a game, and we were three points ahead with three games to play,” he wrote in The Sunday Times.

“A draw would have been a great result for us, so we went to the Etihad to try to hold out.

“I played up front by myself, and though we defended well, we didn’t create enough chances. They were the better team and scored from a set piece; a Vincent Kompany header from a corner.

“Looking back, you say to yourself, ‘Why didn’t we try to win the game?’ and the regrets kick in.”

Arsenal’s attack should be attentive against Manchester City, capitalising on any errors made by the defenders and simply scoring goals.
