Indeed, it is very unfortunate, because Arsenal have lost again to middle-class clubs in a row. Yesterday's 2 - 1 defeat against Fulham was disappointing again, after their previous defeat.
Honestly this time Arsenal really made the fans most likely to lose faith, consecutive defeats against teams that are much weaker than them are very bad results for a team like Arsenal who have always been favored in several seasons, honestly for me personally this is an unexpected result, I thought before they would be able to comeback by trying hard to get the full three points in this match to restore the confidence of the fans and also to maintain the prestige of the club after losing to West Ham 2 - 0 but apparently my assumptions and predictions were wrong.
Yes, if it happened once or at most twice, maybe Arsenal was in bad condition at that time and in the end they could get through it well. Especially against other top teams, Arsenal is still able to put up a strong fight and win. If it was still like that, maybe the fans wouldn't be so disappointed. but here, the situation is very different, although they may say it will be fine, but it is definitely not like that. Losing faith may definitely exist. because Arsenal experienced this even sequentially, and in a diary of 5 matches they only won 1x. From initially being in first position, in the end he had to fall straight to 4th position. In fact, this was much worse than last season. Meanwhile, to climb up again and take first place again, it is quite difficult because the competition in the EPL is very tight. many other clubs have higher potential and more solid strength at the moment. So, Arsenal must try hard enough and not experience consecutive defeats like this again in the future.
Arsenal is indeed very strange. Last season they did the same thing. Namely they started the season very well until the middle of the season. But then they started to lose their consistency from the middle of the season. I think this should not happen again if Mikel Arteta can learn from his experience last season. Because many people have high hopes for Arsenal in the title race. But if they continue like this then this will only disappoint all the fans.
Yes, this is like a repeat of last season, even worse. As you said, even though they have better and higher ball possession, their execution is quite bad. Their front line experienced a decline in strength, and their back line became quite weak. What is certain is that the enthusiasm and motivation of the players is starting to really increase. Either because they are desperate because they have to drop their position in the standings or because they seem to underestimate other clubs when they are still in the top standings. What is certain is that, for now, if the position continues like this, it will be difficult for Arsenal to take over the position again.
