Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta told Sky Sports: "Without conceding much we lost the game on two key moments.
"We reacted really well. We dominated the game. We created enough chances at least to not lose. We hit the bar. We don’t have the luck.
"We are in a big fight. We lost against Burnley without them having a shot on target, and now we lose because of a couple of chances.
"It’s really difficult when you play a team who are defending low and wasting time. We make it difficult for ourselves conceding the first goal.
"I think we had 15 shots but only two on target. We need to improve our rate, that’s the reality.
"We need to generate more to win football matches. When it comes to small details, the other team wants it more.
"The boys are absolutely still fighting. They’re hurt right now."
His position has got to be untenable now surely? The players have given up.
In terms of results it is untenable but I don’t believe the club have the balls to sack him. They’ve doubled down on him and are now simply hoping for some miracle turnaround when it is painfully obvious to everyone watching how far gone this team is. Scoring a goal from open play, not getting spanked, having a few more shots, these are all apparently signs of progress now which shows how low they’re falling and continue to fall.
I think it’s time for Pardew
The Chelsea match doesn’t matter. It is Brighton and West Brom after which is shaping up to be huge.
Only Sheffield United have lost more games than us. This is the worst Arsenal team in decades and they haven’t shown anything this season that suggests they’re too good to go down.
