Former Arsenal striker Paul Merson believes that the "Gunners" have lost their chances of winning the championship title this season.
Martin Ødegaard"The fight for the title is over for Arsenal — one million percent. Arsenal cannot catch Liverpool. They don’t have a striker. They have 17-year-old Nwaneri, who has a bright future ahead, but today he did not play well.
Trossard, in my opinion, is a rotational player. There’s no chance that Arsenal can win the league. Even if Liverpool were to be crushed by Manchester City 7-0, Arsenal still could not win the league.
Today I saw enough to understand that they will have difficulties until the end of the season. They have 12 matches left, and it would be good if they win half.
The result of their confrontation with PSV in the Champions League no longer looks obvious. They have no one to play up front. They are toothless. Playing a center forward is an art; you can't just send anyone there. I also can’t imagine them beating Nottingham Forest. I would be shocked if that happens.
Let’s be honest, Arsenal was lucky to win last week. At 0-0, Leicester looked decent. Then Merino came on and scored two very important goals. But playing center forward is a difficult position to play in," said Paul Merson.
Let’s add that after 26 rounds, Arsenal has 53 points. Meanwhile, Liverpool, which leads alone, has accumulated 61 points.
