The Digest:
Arsenal legend Anders Limpar has warned that Mikel Arteta could face the sack if the Gunners fail to win a major trophy this season. Following Arsenal's 2-1 loss to Bournemouth, Limpar questioned the team's "psychological strength," comparing them unfavourably to past captains like Roy Keane and Patrick Vieira. He said: "In terms of talent, they are top of Europe, but when it comes to critical moments, do they have the mental strength?" Limpar also criticised Arteta for "throwing away" the FA Cup.
Key Points:
- Arsenal have only won one FA Cup under Arteta since December 2019.
- Manchester City holds two games in hand and could cut the lead to six points.
- Limpar accused Arteta of ranking competitions and devaluing club history.
- The former winger believes Arsenal will still win the Premier League by a couple of points.
- He said winning the Champions League "looks like a massive ask."
