GRAME SOUNESS: As a player, Arteta was the perfect son-in-law. As a manager, he’s got his angry head on and it's NOT helping Arsenal's cause... they have looked a very nervy bunch for a whole month

There's no way of dressing up the gravity of Arsenal's defeat to Manchester City this week.

I felt that match was an opportunity for Arsenal to plant a seed of doubt in the heads of Manchester City's players and make a big psychological gain. But they were unable to do that. Those were three fatal points to concede and I will be surprised if they can recover and win the title race.

I really hope that I'm wrong because during my time in football, Arsenal have been the benchmark of how a football club ought to be run.
