Then you\u2019ve got three players, or certainly two in deep areas.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018You can\u2019t have that.

It\u2019s never easy to be a team that doesn\u2019t win it after successive years. It\u2019s 22 years for Arsenal, 26 years for Manchester United, 44 years for Manchester City,\u2019 the ex-Arsenal and England defender said.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We can still hear \u201c[Sergio] Aguero!\u201d, in the commentary because of what it meant on the day that they tripped up against QPR.<\/p>\n<div class=\"metro-poll\" id=\"1777286771510-28134343\" data-option1=\"Yes\" data-option2=\"No\" data-url=\"https:\/\/api.metro.co.uk\/polls\/v2\/\" data-track-module=\"poll\">\n<h3 class=\"metro-poll__title\">Will Arsenal win the Premier League title this season?<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u2018These nerves are there, it\u2019s natural. I just thought, at the weekend, Eberechi Eze, how he handled those nerves, I think he\u2019s an example to everyone in the team, how he\u2019s loving the situation.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I was stunned by the naivety of Arsenal, not recognising, \u201cOkay, we\u2019re all marking inside the box but that\u2019s not the player we need to pick up\u201d, and there were two early corners that was a sign to that.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018His finish was magnificent. You think about his progression in the game, he\u2019s 27 years of age, Arsenal didn\u2019t want him, rejected him\u2026 his route to this level, he\u2019s enjoying the moment and embracing it.
