The former England striker believes the Gunners could be three years away from performing at the top level again
Alan Shearer claims Arsenal's defence is "so bad it's unbelievable" and that the club could take up to three years to get back on track.
The Gunners were torn apart 3-0 by Manchester City in the Premier League on Sunday as the club remained ninth and seven points shy of the top four.
Arsenal's defence has been a key issue this season with their last clean sheet now dating back to October - a run of 14 straight games in all competitions.
