Arsenal’s recent dip in form has left fans and pundits alike scratching their heads, with manager Mikel Arteta pointing to two key reasons for the team’s struggles.
After a stellar start to 2024, which saw the Gunners win 11 matches and draw one, Arsenal suffered back-to-back losses to Aston Villa and Bayern Munich. The 2-0 defeat at home to Villa was followed by a 1-0 loss to Bayern Munich in the Champions League quarter-final.
Speaking at a press conference, Arteta took responsibility for the team’s poor performances, citing both the quality of their opponents and his own decisions as contributing factors.
“Sometimes it’s the opponent. The opponents play very well and you have to congratulate them. Sometimes it will be my fault as well, not changing anything or making the right call,” Arteta said.
Despite the setbacks, Arsenal will be looking to bounce back when they travel to Wolves for their next league fixture on Saturday.
The Gunners will be hoping to turn their fortunes around and get back to winning ways as they look to secure a top-four finish in the Premier League. With Arteta at the helm, Arsenal fans will be hoping for a strong finish to the season and a return to form for their beloved team.
