William Galas has hit out at his Arsenal team-mates for their performance during Arsenal’s 1-1 draw with PSV, a result that saw Arsenal exit the Champions League..
To say Arsenal were unlucky to go out would be an understatement. The Gunners dominated both legs and could have scored 7 or 8 over the two legs.
The experienced defender says he had already warned his young colleagues about the threat PSV pose from set pieces.
‘Our exit was hard to stomach. I think about it a lot,’ said Gallas ahead of tomorrow’s game with Aston Villa.
‘What made it even harder to swallow was I told my team-mates to be extra careful at set-pieces.
‘We conceded the goal as the result of a completely stupid and needless foul.
‘The ball was in the corner and all we needed to do was to wait. It was down to youthfulness.
Gallas also had a go at Arsenal’s attacking players, bemoaning their finishing skills: ‘We lacked finishing skills. We created far more chances than PSV yet failed to convert a single one.
‘We had to rely on Alex helping us out by scoring an own goal.’
These comments are sure to upset a few people but it’ll do the youngsters good to have someone put them in their place. Nice one billy!
