Arsenal adviced by club legend to stay calm in title race

Thierry Henry has urged his former side to regain control in matches.

The Gunners threw away two-goal leads in their last two games against Liverpool and West Ham.

This allowed Manchester City to close the gap at the top of the Premier League table.

They would definitely want to get back to their winning ways when they play bottom-placed Southampton tonight at the Emirates Stadium.

Club legend Thierry Henry believes Arsenal has got too emotional in recent weeks and needs to stay calm in the title challenge.

“From Arsenal’s point of view, since the beginning of the season, I have been saying you don’t win a title on emotions. You can win a cup, the Champions League, maybe even the World Cup. But across 38 games, you can’t be too emotional about it, and recently we’ve been too emotional,” he told CBS Sports.

“You can feel the emotion coming, but don’t be emotional. There’s a difference. Stay calm. We are still ahead of Man City, but I am saying they need to get rid of the emotional part of the game and concentrate on what they have to do. We are still ahead.”
