Arsenal face a prolonged absence from the upper echelons of the Premier League according to club legend Liam Brady, who fears his former side could be 'treading water for years.'
Mikel Arteta's first full season in charge of the Gunners has been nothing short of a disaster so far, with the club failing to build on the FA Cup and Community Shield triumphs earlier in the year.
The Spaniard's side are 15th in the table, just six points above the relegation zone -having suffered eight losses and won only five of their 15 league games.
