Before Liverpool won a league, they came second a few times before Manchester City won a league they had to come second as well.Arsenal suffered Carabao Cup heartbreak(Image: Stuart MacFarlane, Arsenal FC via Getty Images)"You don't go from coming fifth in the league to winning it very often. I mean, Leicester came from nowhere to win it, but there aren't many teams that don't go through the hard yards of coming second and third and second again and then winning it, you know, it's a building process."So I don't buy that Arsenal are bottlers or anything else like that.



Owen admitted his relief that they're not heading for a clean sweep, as he doesn't regard the Gunners as a 'generational' side, despite being 'bloody good'."Obviously, they're not going to be doing the clean sweep, which If I'm honest, I'm quite pleased about because if a team are going to do the quadruple, a team are going to win a treble or something like that.READ MORE: PSG submits audacious 'request' to gain Champions League boost ahead of Liverpool gameREAD MORE: Trent Alexander-Arnold posts 5-word message after Real Madrid punishment and England snub"I just think it needs to be a bloody good team, and obviously Arsenal are bloody good, but they're not like a generational team. It wouldn't be right."Now if Arsenal go and win a double then fair enough, you know that's an amazing achievement and probably what they deserve if they won an FA Cup and a league.

You couldn't begrudge them that but to go and win a whole host of trophies, I don't think they're quite there yet."They might develop to be in that, but at the moment I think they deserve a trophy or two this season. They've been the best team in the Premier League, they deserve that.
