Thierry Henry explains what Mikel Arteta ‘got away with for a long time’ as Arsenal hero assesses his title chances

Thierry Henry questioned Arsenal’s “courage” following their defeat to Inter Milan on Wednesday and believes their title hopes will be all but over if they lose to Chelsea on Sunday.

Henry is particularly concerned about Arsenal’s away form ahead of their trip to Stamford Bridge, with the Gunners having only won in their last six away games at the Emirates at Preston in the Carabao Cup.

“I just think it does the trick because Inter were comfortable giving the ball away, so were they (Arsenal) brave or did Inter just give them the ball?” Henry said on CBS Sports.

“Inter do this quite often, they did the same thing with Juve not too long ago but Juve came back and scored two goals and came back 4-4. They are happy to give you the ball, so were they (Arsenal) brave or did Inter give them the ball? Let’s see against Chelsea this weekend.

“I don’t know what we’re going to do, I’ll be honest with you. Actually, I don’t know how we’re going to do it.

“I know today we were 1-0 down and we had to attack and Inter gave them the ball.

“I just don’t know how we’re going to play away.”

“But my problem, and it has always been, we talked about it on the second day (after Arsenal’s draw against Atalanta), away, I don’t think it’s enough. But during For a long time we were getting by, now we’re not.

“That’s what I say, let’s see what happens against Chelsea.”

Asked if Arsenal would be knocked out of the Premier League title race if they lose to Chelsea, Henry replied: “I think it will be extremely difficult.

“Why? Because you have too many teams to catch up with. One team can have a problem, but one or two – we go with Liverpool and Man City – I can’t see two teams collapsing, that’s my problem.
