Martin Keown claims Arsenal haven’t been this bad since 1983
The Gunners legend delivers a damning verdict of Arsenal
Martin Keown has claimed that Arsenal are at their lowest ebb in 37 years.
The Gunners lost 3-0 to Premier League leaders Manchester City in the League Cup final at Wembley last weekend.
Arsenal were looking to restore some pride with a big performance against the Citizens at The Emirates on Thursday night.
However, the north London side struggled to produce an improved performance and Arsenal struggled badly in the first half.
Goals from Bernardo Silva, David Silva and Leroy Sane scored first-half goals to secure another 3-0 win for Manchester City.
Brighton and Hove Albion were 2-1 winners against the Gunners in the Premier League on Sunday to finish off a miserable week.
Arsenal crashed out of the FA Cup in the third round despite their great record in the competition over the past few months.
The Gunners will take on Serie A giants AC Milan in the Europa League last 16 on Thursday night.
Former Arsenal defender Keown believes the Gunners are at their nadir under Wenger.
“It’s been a sad evening for Arsene Wenger and I don’t think I’ve seen it this bad for Arsenal since maybe Terry Neill left in the 1980s,” Keown told BBC Radio 5 Live.
“I don’t think he’ll walk, but this will test his resolve. They’ve got a big game at the weekend now and then AC Milan. But big questions are being asked now, it these players are giving their all for Arsene Wenger.”
Arsenal are in sixth place in the Premier League table and a staggering 10 points adrift of fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur.
The Gunners have won the FA Cup three times in the past four seasons under Wenger.
Arsenal haven’t won the Premier League title since 2003-04.
