The pundit does not believe Arsenal can keep pace with Manchester City.
‘I think we discuss formations in a different way,’ said the Spaniard on Friday. ‘In the other game, there were 36 different formations in the match, against Manchester City there were 43.’
But Keane believes Arteta is over-complicating the game with his comments about Arsenal’s ‘different structures’ and, despite a big summer outlay, feels the Gunners are still short of overthrowing City.‘Obviously they’ve strengthened the squad, they were brilliant last season – particularly at the start of the season.
‘But we were here [at the Emirates] towards the end of last season where they ran out of steam physically and mentally.‘I still think they’re short, only because Manchester City are so good. ‘The rest of the teams are playing catch-up, Arsenal were the best of the rest last year, I still think that’s the challenge for them this year.
‘I don’t see how anybody can touch City if City keep their hunger up, especially the way they’ve started the season.
