Arsenal not only dropped two points in Sunday's 2-2 draw at West Ham United they also dropped a clear hint that they still lack the experience to challenge for the English Premier League title.
It was not just the result that set off alarms about their lack of championship credentials. It was the manner of the result. And this is why:
1) For the second time in less than a week, against opponents they should have beaten comfortably, they wasted a clear lead.
2) For the sixth time in eight away games this season, in all competitions, they failed to keep a clean sheet
3) In those eight away games, they have now conceded 12 goals, and in the league alone they have conceded nine goals in five games.
4) Arsene Wenger has not made clear who his preferred first choice goalkeeper is this season , and his team needs that decision made.
5) It is one thing to gallop into the attack and score goals for fun, particularly at home, but clean sheets and defensive solidarity are the foundations on which championships are built and Arsenal lack this solidarity at defence.
i think alot of Arsenal fans won't like what i wrote but all what i said is clear infront of everybody and we will see what happens in the next days.
