Jens Lehmann reveals why he thinks Arsenal WON'T win the Premier League
Former Arsenal and Germany keeper Jens Lehmann believes that the current Arsenal side are too 'cautious' to win any silverware.
Speaking to Mail Sport in Munich, Lehmann said: 'He's (Mikel Arteta's) done a good job but unfortunately, you're talking to a guy who loves Arsenal, wants them to win and not just to be up there. I was very disappointed with how they lost to Bayern Munich in the Champions League.'
'Afterwards, they showed a great reaction beating Chelsea and Tottenham. But to be a big club, you have to win trophies,' added Lehmann, who was part of the 'Invincibles' side that went unbeaten in 2003-04 when Arsenal last won the Premier League.
'They're very different to us (Invincibles) in their approach - much more cautious and slower with the ball. Physically, they run a lot more and have more high-intensity runs but they don't play faster than us because we were a one-touch team. They all take three, four touches at a time. And if you're too cautious in football, you can't win trophies. Most of the time, the bravest teams win the league. I would love them to win the title but that has cost them in certain games,' said Lehmann.
'It's 20 years since we won the league and I hope Arsenal win but it's not in their own hands anymore and that's a weakness,' the 54-year-old added.
Lehmann, who played for Arsenal between 2003 and 2008, admitted that he is still baffled by Mikel Arteta's decision to drop Aaron Ramsdale for David Raya earlier in the season.
'I never ever understood the (Aaron) Ramsdale decision. If you have a good, brave English keeper at a big English club doing well and then you bring in a Spanish guy who's never played for a big club at that level - it just doesn't make sense,' Lehmann insisted.
