Arsenal are yet to lose a match in the Premier League and have also been able to continue that impressive form in the UEFA Champions League.
Mikel Arteta’s team are aiming to win the Premier League this season but face a huge challenge from the likes of current champions Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea.
Though Arsenal are currently second on the log, two points behind leaders and reigning champions Manchester City, ex-England midfielder Paul Scholes has shared his thought on the Arsenal squad noting that they are “struggling” already.
“Arsenal, at some point, have got to beat them [Manchester City at the Etihad]. They nearly did it, and it was a great effort,” he said on The Overlap podcast. “I sat here at the start of the season and thought Arsenal might win the league, but I’ve been a little bit disappointed with their start to the season.
“Arsenal have been poor going forward this season. You look at all the goals they scored last year, and everyone was talking about getting a centre-forward in the summer and you thought they probably didn’t need it. But five or six games in, it feels like Arsenal are struggling – it’s not quite clicking.”
Scholes statement is coming just days after Arsenal played out a feisty 2-2 draw against Manchester City at the Etihad.
Arsenal are back in action against Bolton in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup and will be eager to show Scholes they are willing to compete for all available trophies.
