John Hartson: Time for Wenger to go

5 Live In Short

Available for over a year

Former Arsenal striker John Hartson says the time has come for manager Arsene Wenger to go after another "inept" away performance. Arsenal were beaten 3-0 by relegation threatened Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. This was their fourth straight away defeat and leaves them seven points from the Champions League places. Hartson told 5 live: “When you look at some of the players that are taking the field, they are just not up to it. They are not at the standard and the level of a team capable of winning the Premier league.” “I think it’s time for him to go and it hurts me to say it. We have conversations - but the performances now - that last night, you would call that an inept performance.” “There was a lack of leadership, a lack of togetherness, they don’t look like a team.” This clip is originally from 5 live Breakfast on Tuesday 11 April 2017.
