Vincent Kompany: Manchester City can not make more mistakes

Mauricio Pochettino’s men sit second in the table and just three points adrift of leaders Leicester City, but suffered a 1-0 loss to West Ham on Wednesday. Arsenal have now had three on the trot and it’s not been good enough.

“Our players are confident”. We have a big game this weekend.

It was Arsenal’s third defeat in succession in all competitions and their seventh of the league campaign, prompting a wave of angry boos to roll around the ground at the final whistle. – Arsenal have taken the most points from the head to heads between this season’s top four (10), while Spurs have eight.

“When I was playing for Arsenal, you were there not to like Spurs”.

“We have even talked to Uefa in the past because they had an interest in our summer tournament”, Stillitano told the United States satellite radio station SiriusXM. The derby is a different game, a different environment.

He said fans are more likely to watch the Juventus v Bayern Munich and Arsenal v Barcelona games in the current round of 16 rather than matches involving PSV Eindhoven and Ghent.

“You don’t get exhausted when they’ve got a chance of winning the Premier League for the first time in Spurs’ history”. And although it was a blow to their title chances, it was far from being a sign that they’re not capable of handling the pressures of winning the Premier League. “We are not going to let a point at home dampen any confidence in the camp”. It is not a problem for Saturday to have big emotion on the pitch.

Wenger’s contract does not expire until the end of next season and the club remain total in their support although it is conceivable that the situation could be challenged if the atmosphere at the Emirates Stadium began consistently to impact on the players.

City now need to get a positive result against relegation-threatened Aston Villa at home on Saturday and, with Tottenham facing Arsenal, it could be another intriguing weekend in an unpredictable competition. Who knows what will happen in the future? Life is present and football is present.

“We’ve heard it time and time again”.

Mesut Ozil and Harry Kane will play key roles in deciding which team comes out on top when Arsenal visit Tottenham on Saturday. For me, it’s not important.
