Gary Neville Slams Arsenal’s Lack of Creativity Despite Top-Spot Win

Gary Neville praised Arsenal’s defensive organisation after their 1-0 victory over Newcastle United. He said their discipline at the back could keep them in the title race. However, Neville argued that Mikel Arteta’s side still struggle to create chances in open play. He pointed out that their winning goal came from a set-piece rather than sustained attacking invention. The former United captain criticised Arsenal’s build-up for lacking tempo and purpose. He warned that without more positivity going forward, their style may not be convincing enough to win the Premier League.
