Ex-Man Utd skipper Keane hits out at 'soft' and 'weak' Arsenal

Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane has labelled Arsenal as 'soft' and 'weak' following their Champions League loss to Olympiakos on Wednesday.


Keane, who works as a pundit for ITV, pulled no punches in his assessment of Arsenal's performance against the Greek outfit, which saw them defeated 3-2 at the Emirates Stadium.

"They're soft. They're weak," Keane said ahead of Sunday's clash between the Gunners and his former Man Utd.

"The goals they give away — you saw [on Tuesday] night, two set-pieces again.

"You've got no chance of winning any big game if you defend like that.

"There is a certain weakness to the group. They look like they lack characters, leaders and winners."
