Arsenal is struggling in the Premier League title race, while Liverpool appears to be leading with much comfort and confidence. This marks the third consecutive season the Gunners have been chasing the league leaders, having lost the previous two seasons to Manchester City. This time, however, it is Liverpool standing in their way, and if the North London side cannot make up the gap, it would be a third consecutive year of disappointment for them.
Arsenal has been dealing with several injury problems, with many of their top stars currently sidelined, but Mikel Arteta is adamant that this should not be used as an excuse. Despite these setbacks, the Gunners know they will struggle to win games and maintain the level of consistency that Liverpool has shown this season. But Arteta is not ready to concede just yet.
The Arsenal manager addressed the situation in a recent interview with Arsenal Media, stating, “Mathematically it’s possible. You are there, you have to play every game. Three days ago we could close the gap and you are one and a half games away [from catching them]. It doesn’t matter, we have to continue to go. The difficulty is higher than it was three days ago, but if you want to win the Premier League, you will have to do something special, and with the circumstances we have, you’re probably going to have to do something nobody else has done in the history of the Premier League.”
Arteta’s words reflect a never-give-up attitude, believing that with the right mentality, his squad can still push for the title. Arsenal still has several fine players in their ranks and, despite the challenges, they know they are capable of challenging for the crown. Liverpool could still stumble along the way, and if Arsenal continues to work hard and win their remaining matches, the title is still within reach. The Gunners will not give up until the final whistle blows.
ADMIN COMMENT
So here are some simple rules which I must insist commenters follow….
You agree not to give any personal abuse to other Arsenal fans. Everyone is allowed to hold their own opinions even if you disagree with them. It COSTS NOTHING TO BE POLITE TO OTHER ARSENAL FANS.
Arteta says that he won’t give up on the title race. Well judging by his teams performance against West Ham they already have. 🤣😂
Arteta is just trying to protect the image of the team….. but he knows that.
Arsenal the injuries they have can’t go any further other than fighting for the top 4 right now. The club blew it up in January window by not signing any attacking player. The board knows that and they are quite about it as of now.
Let’s just face facts… it’s a 3rd season of chasing the eventual winners but we might not get 2nd this time the way this team is decimated & playing!
It is what it is for this season but Mikel is to blame for not getting what we needed in the summer, then nothing in Jan because he’s over spent as it is & have nothing to show for it…. at all!!
Maybe a change is needed, who knows but I’d say he’s fine as long as we get Top4, Stans not here for trophies just profits BUT he has invested alot of money to Mikel so we can’t blame him this time. As an owner I’d say Josh knows we should at least one title in the last 3 seasons incl this one!
Hopefully we can get Top4, spend on a decent winger & goal scorer. We will also need a CDM if Thomas leaves along with Jorginho…
Will Mikel get all the funds needed from The Kronkes and be trusted to get what we need?
Have to wait and see as this season is a bust atm
Hey!! We never seriously wanted to win this thing at all!! Our planning for the season says it all!!
These stunts aren’t helpful at all!!
Mikel may not give up in press conferences, however his lads have. They seem tired, maybe they are trying too hard on the training ground, hence they may be getting exhausted on match days. If Pool slip by a point, we slip by 3.
Relying on the mentality of this squad?
The one that led the league 2 years ago for 90% of the season and then choked the title away?
Or like last year bottled things when the pressure turned up?
When you avoid strong mentalities and strong personalities in player recruitment, then you get a team that is short on mental toughness.
Ok Mikel. Why did we give up on the Carribou cup and FA cup?
