Youssuf Mulumbu feels Arsenal do not have the quality to win English Premier League title
West Bromwich Albion midfielder Youssuf Mulumbu has claimed that Arsenal are psychologically very feeble to overcome Manchester United in the Barclays Premier League title race.
Mulumbu said, “I think it will be very hard now for Arsenal. They have dropped a lot of points. I feel Manchester's team is too solid to let this championship slip. I think the title is already over and that Manchester will win it. It comes down to mentality.
Manchester are very strong.”
“In a game like Saturday's, I think they could come back and equalise and then win the game. I believe that's what Arsenal is missing a bit. I would say that's their downfall. The youth and the enthusiasm they have but, unfortunately, they do not have the
mentality that Manchester possesses,” said the 24-year-old Baggies midfielder.
Mulumbu was part of the West Brom team that dented Arsenal’s aspirations of winning the Barclays Premier League title after the Baggies managed to earn a 2-2 draw against Arsene Wenger’s men at Hawthorns.
Roy Hodgson’s men took the lead over the visitors in the starting minutes when Steven Reid headed the ball from the set piece. The Baggies doubled their lead in the second half after http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Peter-Odemwingie-c29794 a golden chance
to score an open goal.
However, Arsenal who were missing their few key players bounced back in a vicarious fashion and scored the first goal through http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Andrei-Arshavin-c5771. The Russian blasted the ball inside the goal from a close range after some neat passing exchanges with Marouane
Chamakh. Few minutes later, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robin-van-Persie-c31380 levelled the score at Hawthorns by scoring a goal from inside the box.
Nonetheless, the Gunners only managed to get a draw and lost two crucial points again West Brom which could prove decisive in the title race. Arsenal are now 5 points behind League leaders Manchester United who won their last match against Bolton Wanderers
by 1-0 at Old Trafford.
However, Arsene Wenger’s men still have a game in hand and they still have to meet Sir Alex Ferguson’s men at Emirates which could decide the title.
