Jamie Carragher has issued a warning to Mikel Arteta, claiming that Arsenal are in danger of emulating Mauricio Pochettino’s Tottenham.
Pochettino, despite coming close, failed to win a major trophy during his five years at Spurs. Carragher stated that Arsenal seemed to be running out of energy this season and delivered his verdict on what the Gunners must do this summer to take the next step.
It has been a difficult week for Arsenal, who suffered a setback in the title race after being beaten by Aston Villa and crashing out of the Champions League to Bayern Munich. Despite the setbacks, Carragher believes that Arsenal are still in the title race.
However, he warns that history will judge Arteta’s reign without a Premier League or Champions League title. Carragher believes that Arsenal need to strengthen their attack and sign a player of Declan Rice’s calibre.
He points out that Arsenal, despite being the top scorers in the league, have been goalless in five league games.
Carragher suggests that a superstar striker could have made a difference in the Champions League tie against Bayern Munich and collected additional points in the league.
He also speculates that Arsenal may have been concerned about the profit and sustainability rules in recent transfer windows, but the signing of Rice was a calculated gamble.
Carragher concludes by stating that Arsenal still have plenty to play for this season and urges fans to support the team during this challenging period.
