Arsenal ranks fifth in the Premier League after seven rounds of play with thirteen points, and the lag behind the leader Manchester City has already reached six points.There is no doubt that it will be a difficult task for Arsenal to become champion and Paul Merson doesn’t believe in the title anymore.
The former midfielder of Arsenal, among others, has no high hat of Arsène Wenger and does not think that the Frenchman is able to lead the Gunners to the gold:”People say that Harry Redknapp is a wheeler-dealer, but that is very disrespectful”, says Merson in the show A League Of Their Own.Redknapp is compared to a’ car dealer’ because he often makes statements in the media about players from other clubs.
However, Merson doesn’t think that Redknapp is very close to Wenger:”Tactically, he is even one of the best trainers I’ve worked with.If Wenger had had the Redknapp tactic, Arsenal would win the title,”the analyst concludes.Redknapp was dismissed in September by Birmingham City; he was judged on the bad results in the Championship.
Do you agree with Paul Merson?
