Graham: Huge disappointment if Arsenal miss top four

Arsenal legend George Graham can't contemplate his old club missing the top four.

Arsenal have qualified for the Champions League in the past 16 seasons, but they are in grave danger of missing out this time around.

"It will be a massive disappointment if Arsenal don't qualify for the Champions League, Arsene set such a high standard in his first period but slowly it has ebbed away and it is something that everyone in the club needs to look at," Graham told BBC Radio 2.

"They need to look at if the club is being run to win things or simply run to finish in the top four every season.

"Apart from the first game of the season they went on a fantastic run and looked potential champions, the last few months they've hit the depths. They've lost a lot of confidence and not played their normal game, there is a lack of energy and a lack of their normal rhythm.

"The players and the manager need to roll their sleeves up and get back in the top four as soon as possible."
