Why Arsenal Failed To Win EPL Title In Last Two Seasons —Gilberto Silva

Arsenal legend Gilberto Silva has explained why his former side failed to land the elusive Premier League title in the last two seasons.

The Gunners missed out on winning the league title to Manchester City in the last two campaigns, always falling short at the tail end.

Once again Mikel Arteta’s side find themselves in a positive position going into the second international break of the season.

The North Londoners have won five out of their opening seven games and are third, just one point behind leaders Liverpool.

Commenting on the team’s performance so far, Gilberto has warned that the Gunners’ hopes of a Premier League title could hinge on any dropped points at the Emirates Stadium.

“I think that the team today is very mature, structured.

“When we look at the Arsenal team, the players, the team, the formation, the balance between the sectors is very well defined. It is important to go far,” Silva told MyBettingSites (via Mirror).

“The signings that have been coming in have been important, with results, this also makes the whole job easier. It’s not just about hiring, you need to hire athletes who come in and wear the shirt and deliver results for a team like Arsenal.

“It won’t be easy, again. It is important to learn from past mistakes. In the last two seasons, they made crucial mistakes against smaller and mid-table teams, especially at home. They have to do this homework very well this season.”
