Gary Neville slammed Arsene Wenger for being either arrogant or naive for never replacing Patrick Vieira.
Neville was speaking as a pundit of Sky Sports ahead of Arsenal’s scoreless draw with Liverpool, and was scathing of the French manager’s options in the middle of the park.
“I think they are good players, Cazorla is fantastic to watch. But I’m talking about Arsenal winning the league,” argued Neville. “Think about (Cesc) Fabregas or a Paul Scholes when we were playing, fantastic player. You’ve got to build people around him. Facilitate what maybe they can’t do.”
The former Manchester United feels that the likes of Patrick Vieira and Emmanuel Petit are missing, if Arsenal have serious aspirations of winning the league.
“To me it’s arrogance. I think it’s arrogance. I really do. To think that you are not going to adapt your team, to change to impact on the other teams that you’re playing against and their strengths. It is either naive, or arrogance. Because they keep losing this way.”
Don’t sit on the fence, Gary – tell us what you really think…
