PREMIER LEAGUE Neville names four Arsenal players responsible for Premier League title collapse
The Gunners have dropped crucial points in recent games, putting their title ambitions in jeopardy.
“All the characteristics of it being too much have appeared. Loss of form, giving up leads, energy and legs going, making unforced errors not seen earlier in the season, young players becoming tense and losing their freedom of expression and others showing too much emotion when calmness is needed,” he added.
“I understand why we want to use less emotive language in 2023. However, in a high-performance environment and at an elite level, we must still recognise when pressure has taken its toll. That league table below was only 7 games and 5 weeks ago. I hope these Arsenal players are there again one day(if it’s not United) and can see it through
