We are going to give up counter attacks like that against us all season - that's the trade off with the way we play. We will eventually draw or lose a game or two because of a counter attack sucker punch but that's the breaks. As you say this style really allows us to dominant opposition teams.

I had a look at last year's PL table at MD14 and forgot that Chelsea were on top with 33 points...I wasn't paying too much attention to other teams last season, why did they fall away so sharply? They were scrapping for top 4 in the end, were their results unsustainable?

They went through a 9 game run - match day 15 to 23 - where they took 13 points from a possible 27, which put them 11 off the lead and only 5 ahead of 5th place. Too many draws (5) and also lost 2 of those 9 games. They couldn't score goals and the dressing room started to fall apart with Lukaku speaking out about not being happy and his move being a mistake.
Game 15 was against West Ham
which they lost 3-2.Cautionary tale.

didn't they start suffering when abramovic got sanctioned?

Their results collapsed well before that I think.
That run I mentioned above was in late 2021, 2-3 months before the invasion of Ukraine.

Love the overall underestimation of Arsenal after last season. We got a payback to City after they bought our players a decade ago.

They lost chillwell and Reece the same time and wing backs was huge in how they played

A bit like when Arsenal lost Tierney and Tomiyasu at the same time at the end of last season, along with Partey...

League is very weak
Do you believe this stuff? “FootyInsider”?
City sold a bigger player to a club who in the summer would’ve been seen as a bigger threat in Sterling/Chelsea.
I don’t think City care as long as the cash is coming in.

Another factor people forget, is we've got the best defence. We've got the best structure and arguably the best personnel now. Gabriel-Saliba-White have been performing as good a unit as any around. We've got the best defensive record despite playing a high line. Only game we really got exposed was United with Partey unavailable.
City's defence this season in comparison has shown a lot of weak points and it's far from watertight.

Well they still reached the top 4 comfortably and were unlucky not to reach the CL semi finals. Point being they had better squad than us and that was proven. I don’t understand why our fans take offence with people saying we have weak squad

It's just logical, so I put it there, because it agrees with my logic.
Sterling had a year in contract, and he likely didn't want to change countries. Chelsea was his only UCL option who was willing to pay big wages. So City had to sell him there unless they wanted to lose him for free. Also I think they thought he was getting a bit past his prime because he has played for so long. And can replace him.
City surely didn't see Arsenal as any rival, so was okay to sell two rotation players here. I read their forums when there were these rumours, and almost all their fans wanted to keep Zinchenko and Jesus.
Do you think City will sell their rotation players here in the future if we are their biggest challenger for the title? What does your logic say?
Pretty sure they woudn't have sold players to Liverpool when they were both very equal title challengers.

We've got the same number of goals conceded I believe, same clean sheets too.
