Roy Keane has piled more criticism on Arsenal by claiming their current side is the worst he has seen since he started watching the club.
The Gunners were knocked out of the FA Cup with a 2-0 loss away to Sunderland on Saturday – just days after a 4-0 thrashing at the hands of Italian club AC Milan in the Champions League midweek.
Former Manchester United legend Keane’s comments came during half-time at the Stadium of Light, with Wenger’s side trailing 1-0, and he believes it is the players who are letting the manager and fans down.
“You’re on about trying to do well for your manager and once again they’re letting him down,” the Irishman told ITV.
“This is probably the worst Arsenal team I’ve seen in all my time of watching football.”
Keane also criticised the decision of most of the Arsenal team to wear gloves during the match.
“From the first minute when you see five or six of the Arsenal players wearing gloves, you’re talking about a reaction, you’re sending signals to the opposition,” he said.
“I don’t think a footballer should wear gloves when they’re playing a professional football game.”
“They’ve been sloppy, which led to the goal, there has been no focus to their passing. It’s been slow it’s been sideways, it’s been backwards.”
