Jamie Redknapp tore in Arsenal after the shock -worship of Saturday at home at West Ham, and said they really had no opportunity this season.
The Gunners had the chance to close the gap to Liverpool to five points, but produced a turgid display at the Emirates.
Destroyed the attack of threat, the side of Mikel Arteta created very little with Jarrod Bowen the only goal of the game.
Redknapp said on Sky Sports: 'I think they (Arsenal) have been a difficult watch. I have never really seen that fluidity, the movement, the excitement about their game.
'They have gone a bit with set pieces and everything is about that. And it was a difficult watch for them, you know.
'And especially this year where they would have felt, you know, with Manchester City that is struggling so much, this is our chance. They really don't take it.
'And I know they have injuries, but you can see that he brings Declan Rice off at the end. I don't know how many minutes to go, but he brings him into the game.
“He can't find that rhythm in the team he wants. He has his own way of playing, and he tries to do it a bit and he wants to win so much and he gets a bit too nervous. The fans sends that out. He must try to stay calm and just let some rhythm go.
'Forget Liverpool now, make sure they start getting some rhythm and winning some games.
“You said they got Nottingham Forest in the midweek? I mean, I couldn't think of a more difficult place to go, that's really difficult for them. They must find a way.
“Much of it has been inflicted, I think, when I look at Arsenal. It is very easy to blame everyone, but the versions have not been good enough so far. '
