Paul Scholes doesn't see Gary Neville, William Gallas, or Jamie Carragher's vision that Arsenal can and must win the Premier League title this season, declaring Mikel Arteta's side is still nowhere near ready after losing to Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday.
While Scholes praised Arteta's ability to take the club from finishing 8th in the table two years in a row, to finishing top two consecutively for three years, he remains unsure if the manager can take the team "to the next level."
"Mikel Arteta has turned Arsenal around.
For Scholes, it was proof that while Arsenal have improved from the days of being bullied at big away grounds, they are still a few signings away from being a side that can dethrone Liverpool and Manchester City for the duration of the season.
The defeat left Arsenal three points off the early league leaders after they dominated Leeds 5-0 and defeated Man United in the season opener.
Scholes not only disagreed with Neville but doubled down, insisting Arsenal's mindset was all wrong from the opening whistle of the match.
“When I first saw the Arsenal team against Liverpool, I thought that it wasn’t going to be a team to go to Anfield and blow them away.
The former Manchester United captain still believes Arsenal can be serious title challengers, pointing to the depth Arteta has built and his ability to put together long unbeaten runs.
