Ian Wright Sends Message To Arsenal Board About Mikel Arteta

 


Ian Wright has urged the Arsenal board to back under-fire Mikel Arteta despite the north London side suffering their eighth defeat of the 2020-21 Premier League season on Saturday evening.

The Gunners slumped to their fourth defeat in their last six Premier League games with a 2-1 loss to Everton at Goodison Park to leave Arteta’s side just above the relegation zone.

Arsenal have lost eight of their 14 games in the Premier League to leave the Gunners facing the prospect of being sucked into a relegation battle.

Arteta has endured a difficult first full season in charge of Arsenal after the Spanish head coach led the Gunners to the FA Cup last term.

Former Arsenal striker Wright wants the Gunners to persist with Arteta despite the north London side’s dreadful run of form in the Premier League.

“I think they’ve come out and backed him – and rightly so, he’s a good coach – and they’re going to have to have to do something for him in January,” Wright told DAZN, as quoted by Metro.

“I think with the current players he’s got – I’m not saying Arsenal are going to go down, of course I’m not saying that – if you can’t arrest that slide, you will get dragged in.

“And then you’re going to be under real pressure to get yourselves out of it, then people have to perform to a certain level to get yourselves out of it.

“Because other teams can smell that blood and they will go for you, it’s a very ruthless league.”

Arsenal haven’t won a Premier League game since a 1-0 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford on 1 November.

The Gunners have only beaten Fulham, West Ham, Sheffield United and Manchester United in the Premier League this season.

Arteta’s men will take on bitter rivals Chelsea FC at The Emirates on Boxing Day before the Gunners make the trip to Brighton on Tuesday 29 December.

UNSATISFIED Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang Sarcastically Responds To 87-Rated FIFA 21 Card As Arsenal Talisman Receives Same Rating As Last Year

It’s safe to say Pierre-Emerick Aubemayang isn’t very happy about his FIFA 21 rating. The Gunners’ talisman has been handed an 87 rating for the new edition of the game – the same rating he was in FIFA 19. And the Gabon international has sarcastically responded to his card with a laughing face emoji. Aubameyang had another superb season for the Gunners, hitting 22 Premier League goals for Mikel Arteta’s side – the same he managed last year. However, the 31-year-old played a pivotal role in Arsenal’s FA Cup triumph, netting a brace against Chelsea to seal a first trophy in management for Arteta. Meanwhile, it is understood Aubameyang will ‘imminently’ sign a new three-year contract at the Emirates. It is understood he will become the club’s highest earner on his new deal, surpassing Mesut Ozil’s reported £350,000-a-week wages. The report adds Arteta has been integral in talks to keep the 31-year-old striker in north London. Former Arsenal head of football Raul Sanllehi is believed to ha...

'I Cried A Lot' - Arsenal Star Martinelli Opens Up On Knee Injury That 'Broke' Him

 The 19-year-old attacker has said that manager Mikel Arteta was a great support as he was returning to fitness. Arsenal attacker Gabriel Martinelli has admitted that the horror knee injury he suffered in June caused him a huge amount of pain both physically and emotionally. The young wide player sustained the issue during training, and though it did not feel like anything at first, it required surgery. After missing several months with the injury, Martinelli is now only finding his way back into competitive football. I was about to receive the ball and felt a little pain on my knee,” he told the Daily Mail. "Not enough for me to stop practising, but, while we were on the finishing session, I told them that I was in pain. They told me to rest and, if I felt the pain the next day, to let them know. “When I woke up, I felt it but I was able to walk. I thought it was nothing at first, but it was a pain I'd never felt before. I went to the club for the examinations and they said i...
