Arsenal drew with Tottenham Hotspur at the Emirates on Sunday.
Speaking to BBC Sport, former Arsenal defender Martin Keown has questioned the balance in this current Gunners team.
Arsene Wenger’s side took on rivals Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday in the first North London derby of the season.
It proved to be an intriguing clash between the two teams as the home side initially struggled to contend with Mauricio Pochettino’s team using a new 3-5-2 formation.
They soon rallied, though, going on to create a number of chances in the eventual 1-1 draw.

Their performance was something of a disappointment for the Gunners faithful, who had hoped to see their side lay down a marker with a victory over their rivals.
Keown was one such disappointed viewer, saying he felt the balance was not right in this current team.
“Football is alive and kicking in north London. These two are in really good form,” he told BBC Sport.
“The team with the best balance will win the league this year and I am not sure about Arsenal’s balance.”

The result leaves Arsenal fourth in the table and two points behind league leaders Liverpool. Tottenham are five points behind and sit in fifth.
Both will ultimately be disappointed on reflection, having each had numerous chances to win the game for themselves.
For now, they must simply focus on bouncing back following the international break, when they take on Manchester United and West Ham United respectively.
