Arsenal and Tottenham had very surprising results today. Arsenal lost against Southampton by 1-0 and this was their third loss in a row in the Premier League. I really wonder what is going on with them now. It is not good to see Arsenal performing this badly to me. I hope that they can improve their performance again and stay in the competition for gaining the fourth position in the league standings. They must be thankful for Tottenham to lose their game as well. Brighton did the same against Tottenham like they did to Arsenal and defeated them by 1-0. Arsenal are still three points behind them however Manchester United are back in this fight again too as they defeated Norwich.
The way Arsenal has been playing games this season has been remarkable and clearly demonstrates that the squad is taking a very nice shape, but all of a sudden they have deformed, I hope they wake up and win future games to keep their top four hopes alive.
Good hope.
We'll see how Arsenal will fulfill the expectations of many of their supporters by being able to end the year in 4th position. Because it has become a habit to end the season badly even if it starts well.
3 consecutive defeats is not a good achievement for Arsenal if they want to end the 2021-2022 season in a safe position.
Arsenal started the season really badly then they improved and now at the end of the season they are back in a bad form, I think it's the mentality, they are currently fighting for the 4th place in the table, initially Arsenal really benefited with a points lead and also still a game to go. but after failing to get a win in their last 3 matches I think they are out of the competition for 4th place in the standings. they don't have the mentality for it, now they will have a tough match in the next match, most likely they won't be able to bounce back and will have another bad result.
Champion mentality? I think that's rare for any Arsenal player nowadays.
For the next Arsenal will play Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Of course this is not an easy game for Arsenal to get points. Then after against Chelsea, Arsenal also completed 2 big games. Arsenal have to face Manchester United and West Ham United. Under these circumstances, it is Tottenham Hotspur who are advantageous.
It seems that Arsenal's players confidence has fallen after being defeated by Crystal Palace with a fairly large score. Therefore, in the next two
matches, Arsenal lost again, even though the opponents they faced had quality players below Arsenal. Like you said Arsenal players don't have
a winning mentality, so it's hard to expect Arsenal to come back from bad results in the last 3 games. Moreover, Arsenal have to face Chelsea,
Man United and West Ham. Most likely Arsenal will continue their poor form. This is all because of Arsenal's own fault, wasting opportunities
to get points when facing a weaker team. With Arsenal's bad situation, it's no wonder that Tottenham have benefited. Because unlike Arsenal,
Tottenham played badly only against Brighton, even before Tottenham managed to win 4 consecutive wins. Even the opponent that Tottenham
will face next is a weaker team than Tottenham. So Tottenham have the most chance to be in 4th place at the end of this season.
