Liverpool legend Carra: Arsenal are weak and slow

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has slammed pedestrian Arsenal after their thumping at Everton. The Toffees are a point ahead of Arsenal with a game in hand.

Carragher told the Daily Star: "We knew the Everton game was always going to be a tough game.

"You can easily lose there - anyone can - because it's a tough place to go.

"It's the way they lost that's worrying. You watch that Arsenal team now and when I think of an Arsene Wenger team I think of power and pace.

"Watching this team I look at it and think it's weak and slow. That would be worrying.

"No matter who you play, if you haven't got that pace and strength in your team mentally and physically, even if the fixtures are kind it's going to be difficult for them.

"That's probably one of the slowest Arsenal teams I've seen under Arsene Wenger and that's a massive worry for them.

"With the energy Everton showed in that game I think you would probably have to say they were favourites [for fourth]."
