Arsenal's have no 'superstar' players, according to Wayne Rooney - and that could derail their title challenge. Rooney also swung at Arsenal's fans and former players such as Martin Keown, claiming they are 'killing' the team with their nerves and commentary. 'What I think is happening is, the Arsenal fans, ex-players coming out, they are killing them. I don’t think they have, but they know how to win games, and they’ve shown that over the last three years.' Carragher had said shortly before: 'Arsenal have got a great mentality, but when I watch Arsenal, I don’t think they’ve got an absolute superstar in the front four or five players.
