Forget the lack of a major physical force in midfield. Ignore that they don't have a real top class centre forward. Nevermind that second-hand car salesman Jose Mourinho has suspiciously sold them a 33-year-old model without too much of a fight.
Arsenal's real problem - according to Roy Keane - is their obsession with selfies.
The act of pointing a smartphone at oneself and clicking is distracting from what should be the Emirates' sole focus of winning the Premier League.
Keane told the Sunday World:
There's too many Arsenal players interested in selfies, I think, whatever they are. Instead of focusing on winning Premier League titles, it's all about how their bodies look, how their hair is, more so than winning football matches, which is the way things are going.
They've got good players, really good players, it's just one or two of their players, they're more interested in selfies and six packs.
They've lots of good players, good characters who roll their sleeves up, not just those who are trying to get their pictures every day of the week with selfies.
Given that Lukas Podolski has departed, the quantity of selfies emanating from north London is likely to severely diminish this season.
Whether or not this is something which Roy factored into his calculations is unknown.
