Robbie Savage believes that Arsenal’s 1-1 draw against Manchester United has effectively handed the Premier League title to Liverpool.
Despite the Gunners retaining slim hopes of winning the title, Liverpool’s relentless consistency has made their chances increasingly improbable. Arsenal entered the season with high expectations, and they have remained a key part of what has been a thrilling title race. However, their failure to secure all three points at Old Trafford has dealt a significant blow to their ambitions.
Manchester City, who have not been at their dominant best this season, have fallen behind in the title race, leaving Liverpool as the team to beat. The Reds had established a 16-point lead over Arsenal before the match, though the Gunners had two games in hand. However, following the draw against United, the gap remains at 15 points, making the challenge of catching Liverpool even more daunting.
Although the season is far from over mathematically, Savage is convinced that Arsenal’s hopes of securing the title have faded. Speaking on the BBC, he said:
“Congratulations Liverpool on winning the Premier League.
“The Gunners have fizzled out – again.”
His comments reflect the growing perception that Arsenal has once again faltered in the crucial stages of the season. The Gunners have been in strong form for much of the campaign, but results such as this have allowed Liverpool to maintain control of the title race.
While Savage’s verdict may be disheartening for Arsenal fans, it is crucial that the team does not lose focus. There are still several matches to play, and football has always been unpredictable. Liverpool has been dominant, but they are not invincible, and Arsenal must be prepared to capitalise on any potential slip-ups.
This draw at Old Trafford is a setback, but it does not mean the Gunners should throw in the towel. The Premier League title race is known for its twists and turns, and as long as there is a mathematical possibility, Arsenal must continue to fight.
ADMIN COMMENT
So here are some simple rules which I must insist commenters follow….
You agree not to give any personal abuse to other Arsenal fans. Everyone is allowed to hold their own opinions even if you disagree with them. It COSTS NOTHING TO BE POLITE TO OTHER ARSENAL FANS.
Liverpool would have to lose 5 games and Arsenal win everyone remaining to have a chance. It’s over. This time next year Rodders
Another trophy-less year under Mikel Arteta – again. But who really cares? Who’s counting?
And do you really think we will win anything under Arteta? Think again.
Title hopes😂😂😂
I think Robbie is right…. Too few games left for Arsenal to have an impact. It’s Liverpool’s title for sure….bar an unbelievable collapse which won’t happen, having only lost once all season. Oh if only we had a striker to put the ball in the net… destined to fall short again I’m afraid
The truth is we have not been good enough. Hopefully 3 years of hurt won’t affect the players next season, a quality striker in the summer would help.
Just surprised that the article says something like we were strong for much of the season. It’s OK to speak positively of our team. But I don’t believe we were at all convincing since August that we were serious out to be champions of anything other than talk of it.
And now there’s lots of hyping about “massive recruitments” this coming window which will end up in some joke …. from which the cycle of overstated positivity restarts!!
Too bad!!
Its called click bait.
Tyndale.
Remaining in second place for much of the season does suggest we were strong. Perhaps not powerful, but quite strong.
I hear you loud and clear.
Basically, we’ve been top 4 for over 20 years ….. seeing and we also saw Leicester lift the trophy right before our eyes …….. and we’ll be shortly competing with Forest to remain in top 4 having lost the back of Pool.
We must start living up to the “big club” tag we associated with ….
Why lose hope, 10 games 30 points up for grabs, we can still do the double, I trust Mikel, do you?
Do you seriously think we don’t want to trust and believe him? But it’s not magic. It must make real sense …….. at the moment and for quite a while, it doesn’t.
We love our club, and we are very cognisant of our massive potential. For so many years, we’ve been fighting to be top 4 and we have made ourselves content with this and this is unacceptable.
The so called title race was over months ago. 🤦♂️
When was the actual month you gave up then Derek?
Was it after ten games, as Reggie says, or eventually before that?
Ken1945,
It was way before that, it was in August. 😂🤣😉👍
That’s not really very funny
Actually SueP it really is, as this shows Derek for what he is.
A joker 🤡
That’s how I’ll view him and his comments from now on. 👍
Ken1945,
Like I’m bothered by what you think of me or my comments. 👍🙄
Derek will do well to change allegiance…
Munster,
I don’t need to change allegiance…
If Arteta is the club’s manager come the start of next season, then I will write off their title chance’s again in August.
We will not win the league with Arteta in charge. How many times do I have to say it. (Just my opinion of course, I don’t want to upset anyone🤦♂️).
I am with you in that. I too have written off an entire Arteta tenure however long it last.
SueP,
It is from where I’m standing. 😂🤣👍
