After a series of sublime matches with a circuit of 8 victories in all competitions, Arsenal's "racing car" gradually slowed down and the worries for the Gunners were getting bigger and bigger.
Arsenal have gone 2 games in a row without a win. They drew Southampton 1-1 in the Premier League on October 23 and most recently finished 0-2 against PSV in the Europa League group stage. Leaving aside the Soton draw, many people think that Arsenal's loss to PSV is not too much to discuss because they have already won tickets to the knockout round, so they can "release" the opponent. However, the truth is not so when Arsenal exactly played badly.
Disoriented defenders, ineffective strikers, almost non-existent midfielders, that's what Arsenal showed against PSV. In the second half, Arsenal seemed to have stepped back in time 188BET, returning to an old period under Mikel Arteta's reign, where they used to play like strangers with a surrender mentality. The Gunners haven't looked this pathetic in months, and it's been a long time since they've played so poorly after the break.
"Now it's time to rest and analyze what happened. We weren't playing at our level. PSV deserved to win, there's no doubt. When you play like that against teams At the top, it's very difficult to win. We played badly today. My responsibility is to get the best out of the players. They played exceptionally well and at a level that perhaps not. Now it's time for me to wake them up again," admitted coach Arteta.

In fact, PSV deserves a rain of goals against Arsenal because the defense of the Premier League representative has played too badly. The final result at least did not cause great panic for Arsenal because they were still at the top of the table, but there was a feeling that a collapse was surrounding Arteta's teachers and students. It would not be worth mentioning if in the past, Arsenal were very broken at the end of the first leg. They can play to the extreme, but around the end of the year, the Gunners gradually lose their breath and then lose everything.
The bigger concern right now is the nature of Arsenal's performance in the Netherlands. In recent matches, the Gunners have no longer maintained the intensity and excitement as at the beginning of the season. In addition, the solid defense that was the fulcrum for Arsenal's high flight was no longer maintained. The game against PSV was not only Arsenal's first defeat since September, but also the first time the Gunners failed to find the net this season. Arsenal's colorful, colorful attacking style suddenly disappeared, giving way to extreme stalemate.
"We did not create a threat and decisiveness. This was worrying. The moment we were down, we fell. The whole team did not know how to react," added coach Arteta. Obviously, even the Spanish strategist is worried about the performance of his students. Arsenal in fact only needed a draw in the Netherlands to be sure to top the Europa League table but then they fell apart.
This weekend, Arsenal will host Nottingham Forest in round 14 of the English Premier League. At the moment, they are still leading, but uncertainty is a pervasive feeling. With a decline like this, Arsenal will most likely lose the top spot to Man City before the tournament pauses to make way for the 2022 World Cup to kick off. After the match against Nottingham, Arsenal will have a heroic performance against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, and it is not known what will happen.
Not too pessimistic at this point, but starting to feel worried for Arsenal.
