Arsenal drew yet another game in the Premier League this time being held to a 0-0 draw by Burnley away from home.
The draw is Arsenal’s 13th of the current season and these stalemates have been one of the major reasons why they are still stuck in the 10th spot on the table.
While Arsenal have made a couple of signings during the January transfer window but neither of them are expected to solve any major issues this season which is why Jamie Carragher believes, Mikel Arteta will only be able to work his magic once he can sign the players of his liking at the end of the season.
‘I think they’ve actually deserved more in certain games,’ Carragher told Sky Sports as quoted by The Metro.
‘I think the Chelsea one was the real big standout one that really hurt them to lose that game. I think at this moment Arsenal, and I’ve been in this position plenty of times with Liverpool, where you get to the middle of January, February and you almost feel like you’ve not got that much to play for.
‘They haven’t, they’re not going to get in the top four, they’re not going to obviously go down.
‘Obviously they’ve got the cup competitions but the real big thing is actually getting back in the Champions League and challenging for the Premier League.
‘I don’t think performances are ever more important than results but where Arsenal are at now, I think people want to see something that can change only in the summer.
‘I think Mikel Arteta was asked there ‘How do you change it?’ – it’s find better players.
‘He’s putting what he wants in there, they’re a lot more aggressive, they’re pushing higher up, the back four are pushing up, it was a massive problem for them how deep they were in so many games.
‘But that will only change with better players because you still see that line up there for Arsenal, that’s not good enough.’
