Merson & Little Lei: Arsenal s top two teams will be dismissed this Christmas, and it s not good enough to win the runner-up

May 19 Paul Merson and Jamie Redknapp were visiting Sky Sports today and talked about Arsenal.

Arsenal legend Merson said: "This Arsenal is a good team, but you have to win something. But it's not easy. Every time they enter a critical stage, they will lose their chain."

"I know some people will say that they were strong last season, but they made a mistake against Villa, but they did mess it up. Just keep patience and win the game, but they didn't, and Manchester City finished perfectly."

"Win the championship is far more difficult than people imagine, and Arsenal is always a little worse. When it becomes the norm after repeated failures, it's worrying."

"Arteta's deadline is before Christmas. At that time, you must keep the top two in the league before you can stay. If you don't have a championship for four years, it's hard to continue. Arsenal is still attractive to players and funds are not a problem. Christmas If you can't enter the top two, the club will change coaches. The key is to seize the opportunity. When the opportunity comes, you must seize it. "

Xiao Lei said: "Arsenal has made progress in many aspects, but this season is undoubtedly a season that misses major opportunities. This is the most regrettable season because Manchester City lost nine games. If you are told this at the beginning of the season, you will think that the only champion contender is Arsenal. "

" Failure to bite Liverpool means that the performance is not good enough. Over-reliance on set pieces and insufficient offensive quality, they need fatal shooters. In the current trident of the front line, only Saka can make people feel at ease to seize the opportunity. This is the gap. Liverpool has four finishers. This is definitely a link that must be strengthened in the summer window. You can interpret it from a positive perspective, but being second again is far from enough for Arsenal."
