Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey says it is too early in the season to judge Arsenal’s performance, and says the league table won’t start to realistically shape up until after 10 games have gone.
“It’s too early now,” he said in an ESPN report. “You can’t read too much into how the table is looking. You have to wait 10 games and see where you are then.
“Teams are going to have upsets and so many things can happen in this league. Hopefully that opening-day upset against West Ham will be our only one for a long time.”
“If we go on a run now after the international break, and win our next five or six games, then we will be there or thereabouts again. It’s important just to concentrate on what we know we can do.”
Arsenal have come under much criticism lately after a slow start to the season, particularly from Man United legend Gary Neville. Ramsey says the club isn’t too worried about it and are focused more on the belief from within the group.
“We don’t take too much notice,” he added. “We know what we’re capable of doing.”
“We know the players we have and it’s just important for us to concentrate on that and sometimes come to these sort of places and grind out results.”
Ramsey has a point, four games is far too early to make any assessments. Arsenal have yet to hit top gear, and once the form and consistency returns we should see an entirely different side.
We shouldn’t get too carried away with the league standings so soon, and should be more concerned with the form of our lads. Once that returns, the table will take care of itself.
