Common sense Arsenal fans could never accept Mikel Arteta building Arsenal from the second division. But the threat is real now!
Arsenal have a glorious history in the top category of English football. Since the Premier League era, they have never fallen into a relegation puddle.
Even if you want to offend the dark record of those who were demoted to the second caste. It has been counted for a long time, that is, in the 1919/20 season, of course, long before the EPL era was born.
After relegation that season, Arsenal never felt such a decline again, because in fact they are the only team that has lasted longer at the highest level of Queen Elizabeth’s country soccer competition.
However, the condition of Arsenal in the present seems to describe the previous horror episode as one that seems to be repeating itself, and the threat is really in sight.
Losing 2-1 to Everton, which was Arsenal’s eighth loss of the season, as well as making them a crop of ridicule, also created a number of painful records for the north London club.
After the game at Goodison Park, Arsenal posted their worst start in 46 years. Of the 14 matches so far, they have only accumulated 14 points, which shows how nationalistic Emirates Stadium is today.
In addition, coach Mikel Arteta is equally saddened by the 33 games he has played with Arsenal, in fact his record is no better than that of the previous coach, Unai Emery, instead, the former assistant of Pep Guardiola was once hailed as a revolutionary figure in team corps.
Rob Holding made a suicide target to give The Toffees the lead in the 22nd minute before Nicolas Pepe answered 13 minutes after the penalty. However, Yerry Mina’s header confirmed the 2-1 victory for Carlo Ancelotti’s squad.
The absurd saw Arsenal languish in 15th place in the standings, but it was even more bizarre to find them with the relegation zone just four points away.
“I’m not sure. I’m not sure about the starting team and the attitude that the players have shown,” said English legend Alan Shearer. Match of the day, when asked if Arsenal could remain in the Premier League this season.
Lack of creativity, lack of fighting power, loss of confidence and disciplinary issues seem to have mixed in the chaos at Arsenal this season.
Premier League statistics record, since the international break last October, Arsenal can only score three goals and make 27 shots on target. When qualified, The gunmen ranks last, also known as 20th out of 20 PLA contestants as the team with the worst attack in the 2020/21 campaign. For a team like Arsenal, this record is staggering.
“It’s terrible. There’s no creativity, the players just follow the moves, they don’t work hard enough and they don’t close the gap,” Shearer continued.
“Mikel Arteta should be the one worried about the players trying to save their place. They have no options. Against Everton, Pepe is not ready to go into the penalty area, it is the same as jogging, sometimes walking. He could have been. done better, “he said. .
“There are some players on this team who don’t give their all for the coach. Arsenal will never score a goal playing like this,” says Shearer.
Arsenal managers have said for some time that Arteta still has their support to continue building this team. But the question is, does Arsenal have to build a team from the Championship? Common sense Arsenal fans everywhere will not be able to accept playing on the second tier next season!
Arsenal must change the situation immediately. Clubs and teams must work together to make radical changes. As Arteta said, this team soon “needs more wins.” Otherwise, your status could change from a top competitor to a relegation fighter.
Unfortunately, Arsenal have to face tough rival Manchester City in the next League Cup game before facing fierce rival Chelsea in the Premier League. Victory in a prestigious match can be a great medicine to heal mental injuries and team confidence, but if the opposite happens, things will be even darker for Arsenal to get through the second half of the season.
“You will build a team from the Championship if they don’t do something soon, because next game is Chelsea and I imagine they will give Asrenal a defeat at Emirates on Boxing Day,” said former Aston Villa forward Gabriel Agbonlahor.
“There has to be a change, because when you look at the standings, I think if Burnley won the two games that they haven’t played, they would be ahead of Arsenal and if Brighton wins and Burnley triumphs, Arsenal could be 17th, one step above area. degradation, “he said.
A huge task awaits Arteta before the turn of the year, and Boxing Day is a boost. It is no longer about betting on the coaching position, now it is about Arsenal’s dignity as a top team.
