West Brom's Mulumbu takes pot shot at 'weak' Arsenal

West Bromwich Albion's Youssuf Mulumbu has given a cheeky appraisal of the Arsenal Football Club.

The 24-year old Congo-born midfielder was at the forefront of another Gunners failure on the weekend when the Baggies held them to a 2-2 draw which has put major doubt on the London club's title aspirations.

Mulumbu said the believes Arsene Wenger's men are weak mentally and will not be able to overcome Manchester United in the season run-in.

"I think it will be very hard now for Arsenal," he told The Sun. "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."
