Arsenal were on the wrong end of a thrashing at Anfield
Unai Emerys men have conceded more goals after 20 games (30) than any Arsenal team of the Premier League era, and Parlour is growing tired of the same old problems for his former club.We all know the problem, he told the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast. Defensively, theyre just not good enough. Theyre all over the place at the back. Theyll always give you a chance.I couldnt see Arsenal winning. I couldnt see them getting a point.Ive played with so many good defenders at Arsenal. We had the famous back four: [Nigel] Winterburn, [Lee] Dixon, [Tony] Adams, [Steve] Bould, [Martin] Keown. Then you had Sol Campbell coming in, as well as Lauren and Ashley Cole.They’ve got to look at all four positions at the back. If youre going to concede goals like that, youre never going to have any chance of trying to win the league.The Gunners end the year five points adrift of fourth-place Chelsea and Saturdays defeat only emphasised the gap that remains between Arsenal and the elite. They have not been helped by injuries with Hector Bellerin, Rob Holding and Nacho Monreal all missing at Anfield but such basic errors have become commonplace regardless of the personnel.This was highlighted by the sight of Shkodran Mustafi and Sokratis Papastathopoulos sprawled on the turf as Roberto Firmino bagged his second.Liverpool, on the other hand, boast the Premier League’s tightest defence by some margin.Roberto Firmino was allowed to waltz through the Arsenal defence to score his second goal2

The Reds have conceded just eight goals in 20 league games half the number of closest rivals Manchester City and Parlour believes that could be where the title is decided.He added: Thats where Liverpool have won it, if they do win it defensively.

But the fact is he inherited a side that is so far behind the rest of the big clubs it is quite scary, especially since Arsenal are one of the biggest clubs in world football. So they will need to be patient with the man and maybe he will be able to get Champions league football this season, as titles are a long-way off from becoming a reality.
