Manchester United legend Roy Keane has taken a swipe at Arsenal as they lost the Premier League title on Sunday.
Reigning champions Manchester City only need one win from their last three games to seal the league title - their third in a row and fourth in five seasons.
Keane spoke about the Gunners squad after they lost 3-0 to Brighton at home in the league on Sunday.
Asked where they fell short, Keane said: "When you look at some of the games over the last five or six weeks - particularly West Ham and Southampton stand out for me - I know they dropped points losing at City, they had Liverpool - which can happen, you can't win every game. They've won 25 league games which is fantastic, but the points they lost against West Ham and Southampton definitely knocked them back a little bit.
"We saw a team today that I think was physically and mentally shot, it really was. There wasn't enough effort there and as soon as Brighton started flexing their muscles, passing and moving, looking really sharp, they looked quicker, sharper. We'd been saying it for a few months, if they had injuries, they'd struggle, and I think the bottom line is they certainly didn't have the strength in depth of Man City or the experience and better quality in terms of their squad. They've just come up short and it's as simple as that.
"They'll need players - four or five players - but that's easy to roll up your tongue and say a team needs players. Man United need players, Man City will be getting players. It's about getting the right players and the right characters so if they ever get in this position again - pole position - and they have one or two injuries, they've got quality to come in.
"We spoke about Man City today, they made changes but they brought in pure quality players and the team didn't weaken. When Arsenal make changes, the team weakens."
