Clichy wants better Arsenal squad
Arsenal defender Gael Clichy believes that his side failed in their search for Premiership glory because they did not have a good enough squad to challenge in the final stages of the season.
âI think the main reason is when you have a short team like we have got at Arsenal itâs good because everyone has the chance to play some games," he noted.
âSo the atmosphere is great but also when you miss players, like five of those, including Tomas Rosicky, one of the best midfielders in Europe, Robin van Persie one of the best strikers, Eduardo, thatâs big blow and you canât do anything about that.
âLook at Chelsea and Man United, you take Ronaldo, Rooney and Tevez out, and Chelsea you take Terry, Carvalho and Drogba out, itâs not the same team.
âSo itâs really unlucky, I donât know if we would have won the league with those players but for sure weâd have had more chances of doing it.
âWeâve got five players injured and itâs really difficult to cope with that and we tried, we tried really hard, and of course when you make the mistakes we made against Birmingham and Liverpool away, itâs difficult.
âWe have plenty of quality and next season will be better.â
