[New post] Piers Morgan says Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal team is best since Invincibles and Premier League leaders ‘have no weaknesses’
Josh Fordham posted: " Arsenal fan Piers Morgan has hailed Mikel Arteta's side as the best since the Invincibles. The Gunners went five points clear at the top of the Premier League with a 4-0 demolition of Everton on Wednesday night. The club are bidding to " talkSPORT
"We haven't had Gabriel Jesus this year and we've lost arguably our most important player and certainly the most experienced winner in the team.
"He's not been there for months on end. We lost Partey in a crucial moment and could have whined about that.
"We've had some bad luck as well as good luck.
"That's not what the story of Arsenal is. The story is you now have a young manager who has got that team absolutely up and pumping.
"I've never seen the Emirates as loud and universal in it's support for a team and manager as it is now.
"The media are loving the way Arsenal are playing. We got spoilt in the first eight years under Wenger in the way they played.
"I think this is the best quality of football and best squad we've had since the Invincibles days.
"Are we going to win the league? We'll see, but there are only 13 games left.
"Our next four games are relatively easy and I say that not taking games lightly.
"If City were to trip up and we go eight points clear… I'll leave the rest to you."
He added: "My argument for the last 18 years has been there have been so many weak links in the team. You'd see Arsenal go out against the bigger clubs: Chelsea, United, City, whatever.
"There were always weaknesses in those starting XIs. I don't see any weaknesses now. I just see a mixture of youth and experience, players who've got the right attitude now."
Morgan also gave serious credit to Arteta for transforming the Arsenal side into potential title winners.
He himself was one of those Gunners fans who constantly called his position into question over previous seasons.
Morgan added: "It's only a year ago that the majority, and I mean more than 50 per cent, would have been happy for Arteta to pack his bags.
"He'd gone two full seasons losing 13 games in a league season. That's not what an Arsenal manager should be doing.
"That's no better than Wenger in the last few years or his successor [Emery].
"You look at Arteta and in one year he's gone from a rookie, who didn't have the support of the majority of the Arsenal fan base, to every Arsenal fan in the world thinking he's a serious manager."
