Bukayo Saka doesn’t care what people think about how they played away from Manchester City last season because they’re going to win this weekend at the Etihad Stadium.

In an interview with the media before Arsenal’s trip to Manchester City this weekend, Bukayo Saka was asked about how the Gunners played in the same game last year.

Some people think Mikel Arteta’s team should have done more to go for the win since they came away with a 0-0 draw.

On the other hand, Saka says that’s what they did and what they’ll do again.

Saka said, “We will go there to win. That is our goal.” “I don’t care about the criticism of how we did last season,” he said. We know what we stood for and why we went there.

“We are the only ones who know the truth.” We went there to win, and we’ll do it again this Sunday.

Arsenal has been known to go to a stadium with a strategy similar to the one they used at the Etihad Stadium last season and come away with all three points.

One could say that’s exactly what happened last week when Ange Postecoglou’s team played Tottenham Hotspur away. Spurs had a lot more of the ball, but Arsenal were the only ones who could score.

There was a big chance for the Gunners late in the City game as well, but they missed it. And they did get it in the first game, with Gabriel Martinelli’s goal giving Arsenal the win.

In the end, criticizing how Arsenal played against City feels like going back and changing things. No one told the Gunners before the game that they had to go to the Etihad with all guns fired and play open attacking football.

The team had a plan for winning that had worked in the past and has worked recently as well. That time, it just didn’t work out. Hopefully, it will happen this Sunday.
