It is now time to seriously worry about Arsenal going trophyless
Arsenal are lacking creativity, momentum and confidence. Other than that, they're fine.
Vibes, momentum and emotions are so important at the business end of the season and that is why we have to start seriously worrying about Arsenal finishing up trophyless just a few weeks after four trophies seemed likely. It is still a little early for chat of a meltdown, but it's almost at that stage. The way Mikel Arteta's side froze at home in their shock defeat against Bournemouth was telling of a team who have no momentum, have lost belief in what they are doing and are feeling the pressure.
Big time. "It's a big punch in the face and it is about how we react now," Arteta said , before adding. "It has to hurt.
You have to take it on the chin. There are no grey areas now. You stand up and go for the fight or you are out.
That is it. That is what this level is going to require now. " The boos rang out at the final whistle from the Arsenal fans for a reason.
