READ: Mikel Arteta \u2018nervous breakdown\u2019 contrasts with calmness of Carrick<\/strong><\/p>\n\u201cYou\u2019re getting pumped. You can\u2019t do that. Do you win leagues doing that?\u201d<\/p>\n
After watching Arsenal lose to Bournemouth, Ferdinand added: \u201cThis is glaring, the way City set up to block all passing lanes, pressing high. I don\u2019t think Bournemouth went four up the pitch as glaring in exactly the same way.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey were great in terms of blocking passing lanes making Arsenal having to go over it or just panic a little bit and give the ball away.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cI think, is that the blueprint? Bournemouth have copied it their own way. Mikel Arteta and his team haven\u2019t found an answer yet.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt wasn\u2019t a good performance. At least get about and put it on some players.\u201d<\/p>\n
MAILBOX: Arsenal fan boos show \u2018peak entitlement\u2019 at \u2018squeaky glum time\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\nMan City boss Pep Guardiola hailed his side\u2019s \u201cmentality\u201d and thought the Citizens were \u201cextraordinary\u201d in the second half of their victory over Chelsea<\/strong>.<\/p>\nGuardiola told reporters: \u201cThe hierarchy gave me the mentality of amazing players and competitive players, that is the key to success.<\/p>\n
\u201cI push them, they push me. When you arrive in the last month and a half, with one title and in the other two competitions, it\u2019s because the team is really good. Arsenal is a final for us and for them as well.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe second half was extraordinary because we had the mindset. In that stage it isn\u2019t the tactics. We know each other for a long time and the players showed a good mentality to win here which is never easy and be close to the top of the league.\u201d<\/p>\n
