Striker Robin van Persie has admitted his frustration at his team’s failure every year to end their trophy drought.
The Dutchman conceded that it was the same mistakes every year that would be the team’s Achilles’ Heel.
van Persie said: “Every year it always goes wrong in an identical way and that is frustrating.
“When you look at results in the last years, then Arsenal shouldn’t be talking about winning the league because too many times things have gone wrong.
“Sometimes you have to eat the truth and be realistic. But I do believe, with the signing of a number of players, then next season we should be in there competing for prizes.”
