Daniel Storey: Are these the final days of Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal?

Arteta can labour his point on bad luck all he wishes, but the reality is that his Arsenal have become far too easy to play against.

Mikel Arteta’s needs to turn things around - and quickly.

Arteta has been a player and coach in England long enough to know the importance of PR, and turning up a press conference armed with statistics that talked up Arsenal’s misfortune in losing recent matches to Burnley, Tottenham and Everton seemed a remarkably odd move. Not least because it became a story in itself at a time when Arteta does not need any extra flak.
