Arsenal’s defensive frailties hindering their progress

Question

Arsenal have conceded 28 league goals this season – more than the likes of Aston Villa, Birmingham City and even Stoke City.

Manager Arsene Wenger has to tighten up the defence if they’re to launch a title challenge. With a decent enough back four, perhaps the Arsenal boss should look at a new defensive midfielder in the mould of former enforcer Patrick Vieira.
