Arsenal vs. Manchester United: Gunners' Loss to Man U Proves Club Isn't a Threat

With a 2-1 Arsenal loss to Manchester United on Sunday, the Gunners fall even further down the table and prove that they are not a legitimate threat in the English Premiere League

Despite a solid game that was only won on a late goal by Man U’s Danny Welbeck, Arsenal ended up on the short end of the stick once again. That makes two straight losses and three out of the last four.

There is real trouble in paradise.

The Gunners are fighting to hold on to their fifth spot on the Barclay’s table, and they can’t afford to hit the skids in the fashion they have recently. Despite the outstanding play of Robin Van Persie, the remainder of the Arsenal squad has been rather disappointing.

With a tough upcoming schedule for the Gunners, it’s time for the squad to do anything in its power to get wins. Arsenal has to do whatever it takes to get Thierry Henry on the pitch.

Henry is a legend, and anytime he is playing, he can be great. As good as he has been over the years, there have been recent issues with his ability to play because of fitness problems.

With all of the money that Arsenal throws around, you’d think that they would be able to get a person to make sure Henry is in shape and ready to play. With that big of a star sitting out, it’s no wonder the Gunners are looking up on the table.

There is still much time left this season, so there is always a chance that Arsenal could make a run. With that said, they lack the continuity to be regarded as a serious threat.
