Emmanuel Petit has revealed the “fundamental difference” between Arsenal and Liverpool, while he slammed the two Gunners stars for “not doing enough”.
Mikel Artetas side have endured a disappointing start to the 2024/25 campaign. They are trailing Liverpool in the Premier League title race.
weapon They have the best defense in the Premier League, but they struggle in front of goal and rely too much on set pieces.
The Gunners also rely heavily on Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard, who have each had spells on the sidelines with injuries this season.
Saka is set to be on the sidelines for a few months after undergoing surgery to repair his hamstring, so he will not feature when Arsenal take on Brentford on Wednesday night.
Ahead of the match, Pete has revealed what the “fundamental difference” is between Arsenal and Liverpool.
“Arsenal looked nervous at the start of the season. They made stupid mistakes in games and conceded crazy points. Easy red cards, you know. It’s cost them,” Pete said.
“But when you lose Martin Odegaard, and you lose Bukayo Saka – your two best players – it’s difficult to manage. Arsenal have a strong squad, but they don’t have the same bench as Liverpool. .
“When you have to pay every three days, and you’re back in the Champions League, and there’s no break over Christmas… I was recently comparing Liverpool and Arsenal’s squads, in terms of depth. from, and they’re not in the same world, to be honest.”
Look at Liverpool’s quality – it’s amazing. It’s amazing how many great players they have in this area.
“Then, look at Arsenal; if one or two players are missing, it’s not the same team anymore. For me, that’s the main difference.
Petit has also admitted that he is “not happy” with Gabriel Martinelli, as he and another forward are not doing “enough”.
“Having Saka out for a couple of weeks is a huge blow – but now other players need to come in, step up and take responsibility.” Pete continued.

“I’ve been waiting for some players to step up, and to be honest, I’m pretty disappointed. I’m still waiting for them to step up to the next level.
For example, I’m thinking of Gabriel Martinelli. I am not happy with Martinelli. They had a good game against Crystal Palace a few days ago but it is not enough.
“When you look at his journey, and how he started in the first team, at the same time as Saka… when you look at how Saka has improved year on year, and is among the best players in the Premier League. has become one. I’m wondering ‘when will it come from Martinelli?’
“He’s not the only one; Gabriel Jesus is the same. He’s been playing well lately, but it’s not enough. I’m sorry, but it’s not enough.
“If you want to win titles, and you want to compete every season for the best prizes, you need consistency and consistency in your performances, and you need to take responsibility when your best players are injured. Must be picked up.
“I don’t see players moving on at Arsenal. This is quite disappointing. I know they want to do their best on the pitch, and they want to give 100%, but it’s not enough.
“The transfer market is opening soon, and I know it’s hard to find good opportunities at this time of year, but they need to strengthen the squad. Absolutely.”
