115 | Was Manchester City's Win Against Arsenal Really A Title-Decider?

About this episode

The episode discusses whether Manchester City's win against Arsenal can be considered a title decider in the Premier League.

Join SC Libero, the most important of the least important membership clubs, now: liberopodcast.com. —Manchester City’s 2-1 win over Arsenal on Sunday was a rare thing: a Premier League game that lived up to its billing, both for the importance of the game and the quality of the football. On today’s episode Jack Pitt-Brooke, Rory Smith and Jonathan Wilson look back on the afternoon that saw City bring Mikel Arteta’s side into its grasp and ask why the vibes appear to favour Pep Guardiola's team so much more than the objective reality does. For all the fascination with Arsenal’s mental fragility, could their main problems be technical rather than psychological? And over a 38-game season why should this particular game be seen as any other dropped points? Can there ever be a true ‘title decider’ in a full league season. And if not, should the Premier League create one?
