As Arsenal slumped to their second defeat in a row, there was an air of familiarity around their collapse.
Top 4 was fast fading, players injured or suspended, star players not bothered and seeking to leave and the general team was bursting off in all directions.
They restarted their campaign with a 3-0 loss against City followed by a 2-1 defeat to Brighton and TV pundit Michael Owen has ripped into the team.
He said, “Again it’s the same old Arsenal.
“I happen to think Arteta is going to get it right but it’s an absolutely huge challenge that lies ahead.
“You never fancy Arsenal against the good teams – never. You never fancy Arsenal against any ‘okay’ teams away from home.
“They’re just soft and they have been soft for ten years, probably longer.
“The only time I fancy Arsenal is against bottom-half Premier League teams at home.
“They’re flat-track bullies. They have been for a long time. They beat anything that they should beat but when it gets a little bit tough they’re soft and as I say they’ve been like that for ages.
“This isn’t a surprise, I said it ten years ago.”
Owen’s analysis has been brutal and sadly for the Gunners, probably right.
