Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher has further criticised Arsenal's players this week.

The former Liverpool defender, who has been impressed with the Gunners this season, fears they are letting their title dream slip away.

Arsenal were leading 2-0 against West Ham United and were pegged back for a 2-2 draw, despite having a penalty that could have made the score 3-1.

"When you're in the run in for a title there's always that question mark against a team that's not won it before, have they got the nerve?" Carragher stated on Sky Sports' Monday Night Football.

"And when they lose a game or drop points, 2-0 up this week, last week, have they bottled it?

"This idea that Arsenal have bottled the nerve, I think it's completely the opposite. When you talk about a team getting nervous in the run in, you can't play as well as they did in the first half hour at Anfield, or the first half an hour of this game if they're going into it tense. The football was out of this world.

"The problem Arsenal have had is they've got complacent, they've got cocky. I mean that game was so easy, I was commentating on it and couldn't believe there was a way West Ham could get back into it."
