Declan Rice has admitted that Arsenal has been poor in their last few matches after they lost to Fulham this evening.

Mikel Arteta’s side went into that fixture after a shock loss to West Ham and needed to win to get back to the top of the Premier League table.

However, they were beaten again and will be five points behind Liverpool if the Reds win their game.

After the match, Rice admitted on Sky Sports:

“Very disappointing. Very tough to take. Not good enough again from us today. The last two results have not been what we’ve required or what we’ve been setting over the course of the season. We’ve been performing very well up until the last few games, especially off the back of the draw at Liverpool we felt like we could really kick on. Two defeats, it’s a tough one to swallow.”

Just Arsenal Opinion

We have been poor in the last two games, and it has to change if we truly want to win the league. 

Our players have done well in the last few months and are beginning to show signs of tiredness psychologically.

A few new teammates could help the team to get back to form and we must make some purchases next month.

The games will keep coming thick and fast and there will be no chance to make serious changes, so our players must pick themselves up quickly.

  1. Arteta cause all problem that’s happening to arsenal by singing raya a Spanish to replace a great figure of England and fan favorite a figure of unite in the team

    1. That is why the stupid English referees are denying arsenal the right decision against Newcastle and Fulham out of the field goals

    2. What problems.? Raya is playing for a team with the second best defence in the league, the needs of the club comes first not that of individual players or fans.

  2. As it was in Wenger’s latter day Arsenal, attackers and midfielders not able to hold the ball for a minute put too much pressure on the defence leading to mistakes and goals. They were also weak mentally and physically. Arteta belonged to that group of players and he replicating!

  3. I share Kunie’s perspective; opting to bench Ramsdale seemed like a risky move that hasn’t paid off. It’s not a critique of Raya’s performance, but rather a belief that the decision to sideline Ramsdale may have disrupted the team’s mentality.

  4. The present squad is not enough to take EPL trophy,they are rather worse than last season so far as number of games played and point secured are concerned .
    We also need tactician ,player or manager .Unless improved one way or the other we will surely relegated outside Top 5

  5. When you don’t rotate, this is the outcome. It happen last year, happening now and will happen next season also. Insanity is repeating the same thing and expecting different results. Walk away Mikel. Owners should sack him. It’s time fans make some noise on match days

    1. Im not a big fan of arteta put sometimes i open up my eyes so that i can see the reality of things,arteta gave us Champions League for the first time in six years made arsenal title contender last season same as this season arsenal is among the title contenders again and here you are with your impatients, the first three years was about arsenal rebuild as stated in that arsenal Amazon documentary that means from last season henceforth arsenal should be for the title challenge which we are currently in the season hasn’t ended so it is premature for arsenal to suck arteta which they wouldn’t do it anyway.

    1. We sell players in epl and come back to haunt us. Willock of Newcastle was our player. Mavropanos of Westham scored against us. Lenoh, Wilian and Iwobi made sure fulham collected three points from us. We don’t have a reserve bench that can come in and change the game.
