Mikel Arteta has called on Arsenal supporters to remain steadfast and show “love” to his squad after back-to-back draws against Brentford and Wolves saw the Gunners’ lead at the top of the table significantly diminish.
Mikel Arteta has urged Arsenal fans to stand by his players following a run of just two wins in seven league matches.
After a late collapse against Wolverhampton Wanderers, Arteta emphasized the need for emotional support during difficult periods.
He stated: “I was a player, love me when I draw and when I lose. To love when I win is very, very easy.”
The manager remains focused on the upcoming north London derby against Tottenham Hotspur to regain momentum.
Arsenal currently sit five points clear of Manchester City, though City hold a game in hand.
Arteta addressed the recent frustrations, adding: “I you have to love the players and be next to them when they need it the most.”
Stars Kai Havertz and Martin Odegaard may return.
