Arsenal midfielder Samir Nasri has joined team mate Andrey Arshavin in questioning the experience of the Gunners. After the Russian declared that they lack class, Nasri is quoted as saying by The Sun that the squad lacks the experience needed to compete at the highest level.

Having lost twice against Chelsea and Manchester United, Arsenal are six points from the top of the table and have just suffered a 2-1 defeat away at Porto in the Champions League with the blame falling on the head of goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski.

Speaking on this season, the 22-year old Frenchman said:

This season we’ve had bad results in big games. We lack experience at the highest level.

Teams like United and Chelsea have more experience and can deal with these games.

The Gunners will face Sunderland this Saturday as they will try to keep their title hopes alive knowing that their rivals will both be in action in away tricky games, with Chelsea away at Wolves and Manchester United away against Everton.
