Paul Merson argues that Liverpool has all but secured the Premier League title due to Arsenal's recent performance, particularly after they dropped points against Manchester United. He highlights that Arsenal's focus should now shift to securing qualification for the Champions League, rather than the title race. Merson criticizes Arsenal for their lack of depth in attack, particularly given injuries to key players, and suggests that they failed to adequately address their striker deficit during the January transfer window. He uses past examples to underscore ongoing issues with team management.
"Fifth in the league are closer to Arsenal than they are to first. In my opinion, I'd be saying now, we need to concentrate on finishing top-four, they're too far away."
"Liverpool have got to virtually lose half their games, they've lost one all season, it's over, finished."
"We had this with Arsene Wenger too. Everyone knew he needed a centre-half, but he never got one. It's the same with Mikel Arteta now."
"They had a £60m bid rejected for Ollie Watkins rejected in January. Well, then go with 65. It's just five million."
