Arsenal are in a negative spiral – Andre Villas-Boas


Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas believes Arsenal are in a “negative spiral” of results that will be “extremely difficult” to get out of.

Andre Villas-BoasSpurs beat Arsenal 2-1 on Sunday to go seven points clear of their rivals.

Pressure has mounted on Arsene Wenger recently after FA Cup elimination at home to Blackburn and a 3-1 Champions League defeat by Bayern Munich.

“We are on an upward spiral in terms of confidence and they are in a negative spiral in terms of results,” he said.

“To [get] out of that negative spiral is extremely difficult.”

Although the Gunners, who are without a trophy since 2005, look increasingly likely to miss out on Champions League football for the first time in 16 seasons, Villas-Boas remains cautious.

“Seven points is not big enough in the Premier League, because this time last year Arsenal came back [from a similar deficit],” he said.

“We aim to continue doing well, but we have difficult fixtures coming up against Manchester City and Liverpool. We will try to push on and qualify for the Champions League.”

The win over Arsenal stretched Tottenham’s unbeaten league run to 12 games – their best run since the Premier League began in 1992.
