Brazilian international midfielder Gilberto Silva has spoken about how upsetting it is to see his former club Arsenal struggling to affirm a Champions League spot in the Premier League.
Sitting fifth in the table, the Gunners currently occupy a UEFA Cup position and, although they are only five points behind Chelsea in fourth, their current form is a far cry from that displayed by the famous ‘Invincibles’ of the 2003-04 Premier League season.
"Things have changed,” Gilberto told the Independent. “It’s so hard to see Arsenal in the position they are at the moment. I hope they can change their situation.
"I’ve spoken to some of the players and, of course, they are really disappointed but I’m sure they’ll change their situation very soon.
"It's hard for a big club like Arsenal to be so long without a title and the team is also very young. They need time and this is the problem at Arsenal. When you are in a big club you don't have much time to grow up and they don't know how to cope under pressure.
"I don't know if they're missing a player like me but they had several experienced players like myself, Patrick Vieira, Robert Pires, other important players who did a great job for Arsenal.
"Suddenly things changed, young players came in and some [more experienced] players left the club. What matters at this time is that the experienced players stand up for the club and make sure everyone works together."
