Paul Merson has given a damn judgment about the decreasing title of Arsenal after dropping points for the third time I walk in the wrestling Manchester United.
The Gunners had to trust in Declan Rice to equalize the equalizer in a 74th minute to save a point in Old Trafford, after they had fallen behind on a beautiful but controversial free kick by Bruno Fernandes.
The result means that Runaway Premier League leaders Liverpool will remain 15 points clearly at the top of the table with nine games – and only need a maximum of 16 points of their nine remaining competitions to be crowned champions.
With Arsenal's dreams of title glory that fades by the minute, Club Legend Merson does not retain the faith of a wonderful turnaround.
When asked whether the title race was over on the broadcast of Sky Sports of the game, he said: “Yes. Fifth are closer to Arsenal Dan Arsenal first. I would say they have to concentrate and ensure that they are in the top four!
“They are so far away. Liverpool should lose half of their football matches and they have lost one throughout the season.
“It's not going to happen. It's over. They don't have an advanced edge. '
Although he smells the ball nicely enough, Arsenal was again largely toothless in advance, who clearly struggled without an out-and-out striker at their disposal.
Mikel Merino, who traditionally works as a central midfielder, was re -used as a number nine but could not enjoy much success.
Gunners -fans had hoped that the Spaniard would be the surprising savior for their attacking injury problems after he had taken a brace from the bank against Leicester in February.
However. It seems that Cameo only acted to give Arsenal false hope, in which Merson emphasizes the midfielder who became the triker as an important reason for concern for Mikel Arteta.
“He looks lost in advance,” Merson added. “He doesn't give you a presence, doesn't give you anything in advance.
'It is so important – a center forward. No team ever wins anything without a good center-forward.
“Arsenal is currently suffering and I think it is now a concern until the end of the season, because I am looking at the games and I think they should score goals, and there are no goals in them.” Merson thinks it is now to name the time of death on Arsenal's swinging title loading and instead concentrating on what is behind them.
With rediscovering form of Manchester City, Mikel Arteta can be forced to struggle with his former title rival – not for silverware, but for a place in the top four.
“It is getting a bit tight there,” said Merson. 'And Man City has some nice competitions coming.
“It would be no surprise to me – Man City, I think, is currently in fifth place – that they could catch Arsenal.”
