Theo Walcott believes consistency is the key to Arsenal's Premier League title hopes
THEO WALCOTT believes Arsenal's Premier League title hopes rely on consistency and has challenged Arsenal to take advantage of the open nature of the league this season.
Despite sitting second in the table, the Gunners' inconsistent early-season form has led some to question their title credentials, but Walcott believes the time may have come for Arsenal to end their 11-year wait for the title.
Speaking to Sky Sports he said: "It could be our year this year but we need to focus on not looking too far ahead, that is important.
"The sense in the dressing room at this moment in time, the players that are in there believe we need to be doing better, we've got the talent it is just, at times, the work ethic may not be there."You can sense from the Manchester United game that if we continue to play like that we can beat anyone, we really can."The Premier League is so open this year. You can see how tight it is, every team is competing and every can beat each other."It is one of these leagues were you can't say who is going to make the top four, where you could in previous seasons. It is that intense and that close this year - teams are getting better and stronger."Everyone wants to beat the top teams, they want to prove they are better than you. That is what we are doing, we want to think we are better than any team we play against."Each individual player, when you look at our opposition, we are better than anyone, it is just believing in that and getting that belief in the team."[Belief] is definitely showing in patches but, more so in the Premier League, it is becoming a regular occurrence."We just need to continue that belief. At times, that belief has not been there and, sensing it now, it is probably the strongest it has ever been since I have been at the club and that is good sign."
