Opinion – Arsenal have to do something – but what?

Enough is enough! Arsenal needs to grow some balls; we are losing it all.

Watching Arsenal play on Saturday was an eyesore. For Christ’s sake, are we really a football club or what? Must we struggle against every football team in the planet? What will it take for Arsenal to win a game of football? If playing football is such a hard thing for us, should we try just focusing on other sports and leave football alone? We have to do something soon.

Arsenal football club is a big franchise and the more we lose games, the less we become attractive to corporate brands. If we don’t improve, I see us losing sponsorship benefits and probably a fan base. Just yesterday, a friend of mine who has been an Arsenal supporter for over 30 years, vowed to stop supporting Arsenal, until they get their way right. How bad can this get?

When I hear people say Arsenal will turn a new leaf soon, I ask them, “how soon?” I am tired of watching games with my heart in my mouth; I am tired of being scared to wear my Arsenal jersey proudly; I am tired of leaving football viewing centers with a sad heart, caused by the failure of Arsenal to win a game; I am tired of seeing our players run around the pitch like clueless chickens, and I am so tired of losing my appetite after every Arsenal game.

While watching the game on Saturday, I noticed how uninspired and unmotivated our players are and I couldn’t help asking myself, “How did we get here?” Do we need to sack the coach before our players get motivated? Do we need to change our team of psychologists? What exactly should we do? Can somebody please tell me before I lose my mind? My Arsenal has always been a team of flair and positivity, but this Arsenal team is just a team that dishes out heartbreaks. With the way we are going, are we even going to win another game this season?

If we are to sack Emery before the team gets back to normal, please let us do that now. If we are to sack several of our players, please let us do that now! We should also please ask the owners of Arsenal to please show us some football ambition, and do away with this coach and bunch of players, who don’t look interested to play for Arsenal again. What can we do to get back to winning ways please? Someone must be able to do something?
