Former Arsenal striker Thierry Henry has delivered an honest assessment of the Gunners' title chances after the 1-1 draw with Manchester United on Saturday.
Arsenal looked set for a defeat, after Juan Mata put United ahead with a left-foot finish, before anOliver Giroud header brought Arsene Wenger's side level late on.
Speaking to Sky Sports -as quoted byThe Sport Review-after the game, Henry claimed the performance was not of the calibre he was hoping to see from a Premier League side hopeful of winning the league.
If they want to win the league they will have wanted to win here," Henry revealed.Again, they lost a chance to be on top this weekend.
Yes, it looked great because they came back into the game and saved a point.
But overall was that the game that we wanted to see from an Arsenal point of view? Maybe not, but give them their credit. They came back into it.�
