I really believe that’ – Sergio Aguero makes Arsenal title prediction
Sergio Aguero has dismisse the suggestion Mikel Arteta should be under pressure at Arsenal and backed the Gunners to win the Premier League ‘sooner rather than later’.
Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher recently คาสิโนออนไลน์ UFABET ฝากถอนรวดเร็ว เริ่มต้นเล่นง่าย questione whether Arteta’s Arsenal were already past their best despite failing to win any silverware since the Spaniard’s first season in charge.
Writing in a column for the Carragher said: ‘Have we already witnessed the peak years of Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal reign?
‘It feels like this Emirates era is heading towards a crossroads, with Arsenal in the middle of a high-stakes game.
‘This will either be one of the greatest seasons in the club’s history – ending a 21-year wait for the Premier League title – or a campaign which ends amid a highly-charged post-season review into how they squandered their best chance to become champions in two decades.’
Carragher also questioned Arsenal’s title credentials as they look to make up ground on Premier League leaders Liverpool.
‘There is yet to be a performance that leaves you thinking they look like the next champions,’ he added. ‘The balance of the squad is not right.’

‘Arsenal, since entering this new cycle, have shown up consistently. They’ve got great players and a newfound trademark playing style.
‘The fans ought to be happy. I’m sure winning the Premier League is their end goal, and I believe it’s bound to happen sooner rather than later.’
While Arsenal are currently second in the Premier League, they are not showing the impressive consistency they did over the past two seasons.
