Roy Keane has labelled Arsenal’s tactics in their 2-2 draw with Manchester City as that of a “small team with a small mentality”.
John Stones scored a late equaliser to rescue a point for City after Arsenal had seen Leandro Trossard sent off at the end of the first half.
City dominated the second half against the ten men of Arsenal, having 88% of the ball and 28 shots with Arsenal trying to defend their one-goal advantage.
But Keane criticised Arsenal’s tactics, telling the Overlap: “They were just booting it, like a small team with a small mentality.
“Go back three or four weeks, Arsenal did the same thing against Brighton with 10 or 15 minutes to go – the goalkeeper went down against Brighton at home.
“This idea that they’ve gone to the great Man City, their mindset against Brighton at home was exactly the same – that’s my argument.
“I’m saying when you’ve got it, still look after it. When you do get it, try and get four or five passes together.
“They were time-wasting against Brighton at home, so forget this idea it was Man City.”
