It does not take a genius to see that Arsenal have had big problems away from home so far this season, in the Premier League at least. In the Europa League the Gunners have managed to win both away games against BATE Borisov and Red Star Belgrade, but apart from the win at Everton and the point at Chelsea Arsenal have done nothing but lose away from home in the Premier League.
If it was not for the five wins out of five at the Emirates that awful away record would have completely ruined the season already but we are just about keeping in touch with the top four despite the away day blues, but obviously Arsene Wenger and the players need to start picking up more points on the road.
The question is, can they turn this form around? And I would say that we can, as long as our luck improves, because I think it has been bad luck rather than poor performances that has been hurting us away from home. In fact apart from the Liverpool match at Anfield, Arsenal could argue that we deserved more from every EPL away game this season.
We were denied a clear penalty at Stoke, we had dodgy and game changing spot kicks awarded against us at Watford and Man City and had good chances to take all three points at Chelsea, so have we just been unlucky on our travels so far?
