Sutton: Arsenal did not buy a forward, which was an obvious mistake, but the overall development direction of the club is correct

May 9th News Premier League veteran Chris Sutton recently played the podcast program It 's AllKickingOff and talked about Arsenal.

Sutton said: "Arsenal showed competitiveness in both rounds of the Champions League, but Paris is indeed a better team, and it is reasonable for the Gunners to be eliminated. Will there be any regrets? Arteta has been coaching for five years, and the mistake of not introducing a striker in the summer window last year is obvious. In this level of competition, details determine success or failure. They sought to buy Watkins at the last moment of the January transfer window, which in my opinion was to admit the decision-making mistake."

"In the five seasons of Arteta coaching, there were more measures to increase the team's chances of winning the championship, but overall, Arsenal's development direction is correct and it is not out of reach for the top honor."

"Arsenal's performance in the first 25 minutes of the Park Princes was amazing. They were not big. The problem was not on the court but signing decisions. Strategy. Since there is no championship this season, the next move is the key. Arteta is definitely reflecting that they should be more proactive in the transfer market. "

podcast host and reporter of the Post, Ian Ladyman, was even more acute. He said: "Arsenal did suffer from injuries, but it is not the only team affected. They are improving, but what worries me is that this season is stagnant. You said they are close to success, but is it really the case? Arsenal and Liverpool have a huge gap, and the Champions League semi-finals are also completely defeated. "

"As a giant, the season always has ups and downs, and the key is to seize opportunities at the peak of state. Remember after Arsenal swept Manchester City at home, he lost to Newcastle immediately? A major victory must become a catalyst, not just a flash in the pan."
