Yesterday we reported on Bernd Leno’s comments on the underperformance of the Arsenal team, which is on the worst streak since 1959 and does not seem likely to retire anytime soon.
Leno didn’t throw punches when he said, “The attitude is bad, discipline is lacking and we don’t have confidence in ourselves. And you have to listen to the German, as he is in the training field every day and also plays in all the games, so he knows the situation closely.
Many JustArsenal readers have been blaming Mikel Arteta’s management as the reason for our downfall, but Leno said you couldn’t blame the Boss, saying, “That [pressure on Arteta] it is not a problem at all. The coach is the least guilty that we are in this situation.
“If you look at the way we ran the field sometimes, the players are the only ones to blame. I have to be honest about it. “
Another topic readers are discussing is that Mesut Ozil’s presence at workouts every day could be a factor, but Leno has also removed that from the equation. “Of course that’s a tough question,” Leno continued on Sky Germany. “He’s not even registered for the first half of the season, so he wouldn’t be an option until January, if he does. The coach made that decision.
Of course, Mesut has exceptional quality, there is no doubt about that. But the coach selected another 25 players, we have to accept it.
“He trains quite normally, behaves professionally and gets along with everyone else. Mesut does not bring any negative energy to the group. Everything else is not in your hands or mine.
So Ozil may not be a direct problem on training ground, but surely his presence must be a destabilizing factor, especially if he’s playing well while our underperforming midfielders keep getting games and doing the job like a pig. .
But the fact is, there is something desperately wrong with the club right now, and Leno believes that it is only the players who need to spice up his ideas.
Whatever the cause, Arteta needs to fix it very quickly with games against Everton, Chelsea and Man City looming on the horizon next week …
