"They're just watching Man City play - like mannequins. Embarrassing", Neville said.He went on the describe their performance as "Unacceptable." https://twitter.com/KalNaimar/status/970351792897880069 Chelsea were not helped by the fact that N'Golo Kanté could not feature today, as his energy in midfield would have given them a fighting chance of limiting City's build up play. Danny Drinkwater and Cesc Fàbregas simply don't have the legs. In fairness to both Arsenal and Chelsea, this is Manchester City they're playing against. Everyone struggles against City, and if you push out away from your position, leaving a gap, they will exploit it.

Playing against City must be not only physically exhausting, as you chase shadows for 90 minutes, but also mentally exhausting. Eventually, you will stop pressing because it's not worth it. Perhaps Neville was a bit harsh, even if his observation was accurate.
