Carragher: neutrals favour Man City over Arsenal

Jamie Carragher says we are in a "strange new world" where neutrals favour Man City over Arsenal for the Premier League title and this weekend’s Carabao Cup final. He argues Mikel Arteta’s pragmatic "win-at-all-costs" style, combined with a polarising fanbase, has flipped the old "anyone but City" sentiment into a resounding "anyone but Arsenal." Criticism has centred on Arsenal’s pragmatic approach, most recently from John Obi Mikel: "When I watch Arsenal play right now, they depend solely on corner kicks.

You have spent almost a billion, Mikel Arteta... and you're telling me the only way you can win games is through corner kicks?
