Arsenal Manager Arsene Wenger says the combination of Injuries and inability to win big games cost his side the English Premier League title.
The Gunners were at a point sitting comfortably atop the table but lost it in the long run. They lost "scandalous" to Chelsea 6-0, bashed by Liverpool 5-1 and lost 6-3 Manchester City earlier in the season.
According to Talksport.com, asked by beIN Sport why Arsenal's title bid had fallen apart, Wenger said: "For two reasons. The important injuries we had and the big fixtures during that period.
"We didn't manage to win the big games. If we had everybody on board we could have won it. We were 17 or 18 times top of the league during the season but we lost Walcott, [Jack] Wilshere, [Mesut] Ozil, Ramsey and [Laurent] Koscielny at an important part of the season.
"It's just too much. If you imagine Manchester City without [David] Silva, [Yaya] Toure and [Vincent] Kompany at the same period of the season, it's not the same team."
One could not casually separate the down-sliding from the injuries suffered by key members of the team like Theo Walcott, Aaron Ramsey and also Mesut Ozil.
