ARSENAL HAS TOO MANY PASSENGERS IN ITS TEAM; FOOTBALL EXPERT ARGUES

REDKNAPP ARGUES THAT TOO MUCH  PASSENGERS ARE AT ARSENAL.

REDKNAPP A FOOTBALL EXPERT WAS FEATURED ON SKYSPORTS and he has this to say.

Jamie Redknapp says Arsenal have too many
players not trying hard enough - and highlighted
Mesut Ozil's display at Tottenham as an
example.
Arsene Wenger's side suffered a 2-0 defeat in
Sunday's north London derby at White Hart Lane
through goals from Dele Alli and Harry Kane, but
Sky Sports expert Redknapp was impressed by
the work ethic of Christian Eriksen.
And he contrasted that with the efforts of fellow
"luxury player" Ozil, who Redknapp says did not
do enough to help his team.

"I want to mention Eriksen and on the flip side
look at Mesut Ozil today," Redknapp said on
Super Sunday .
"They are very similar players, both of them are
what you would call, in a nice way, luxury
players.

"They are the sort of players that can open the
door and you don't expect them to put too much
hard work in.
"But when I looked at Ozil compared to Eriksen
there was such a distinct difference between the
two in terms of work ethic and pressing and the
amount of times Eriksen won the ball back for his
team, but also got involved in open play.

"I thought he was fantastic today, Eriksen. I
looked on the flip side at what Ozil offered his
team when you want a piece of magic or you want
someone to unlock the door.
"At times there were passengers and you can't
have passengers in these north London derbies

"In the team Thierry Henry played in you had no
passengers whatsoever. There was too many and
they have to change that next year.
"There are too many players that look comfortable
in that red and white shirt that don't deserve to be
in it.
"Just not good enough and not only that, not
Spurs enjoyed their ninth straight Premier League
win and the result means they are guaranteed to
finish above Arsenal for the first time in 22 years.
And Redknapp argued there is a clear difference in
quality between the north London teams.
"The gulf in class between the two sides is so
apparent," he added. hard enough."

"If you said to Mauricio Pochettino he could take
players out of that Arsenal team to improve yours,
how many would he take?
"I reckon there would probably only be one.
Maybe Sanchez.
"Apart from that I think that Spurs are a different
class to Arsenal at the moment. There are no
passengers, everybody knows what they are
doing, they work hard as a team and they've got
quality."
