Social media responses highlighted the intense pressure on the Spaniard to deliver the Premier League title this season.
“I don’t care if he wins the Carabao or FA cup. I don’t even care if he wins the UCL. If Arteta loses this EPL especially from that healthy advantage we had over City, he should walk away. OUT!
Anyone can win a cup competition. League titles is where you are judged as a manager.”
“I can't defend Arteta beyond this Spring o. He needs to win either of the UCL or the Premier League, otherwise even he would know at that point.”
Eduarfo Hagn also shared his frustration:
“Arteta has a lot to answer for. He’s playing Jurrien Timber until his bones fall off. Persists with the same stupid dynamics that have not worked for ages.
“If Arsenal do not win this Premier League, he has to go. There shouldn’t be another chance.”
Other fans highlighted tactical errors and poor performances:
“Christian Norgaard couldn't have had a worse game than Zubimendi today.. Arteta sometimes man smh.”
“Arteta's fear of losing is bigger than his desire to win, that's why we have so many useless draws.”
Samo Agbero added:
“We don’t deserve to win this league. This is not the attitude of champions. What confuses me is if it’s down to Arteta or it’s the players, or both. I don’t understand it. They’re capitulating for the 4th season running, IN THE SAME FASHION!!! Nah..”
Arsenal’s EPL hopes still alive
Despite fan outrage, Arsenal remain top of the Premier League table, five points clear of Manchester City, who have a game in hand.
Since Arteta’s appointment in 2019, the Spaniard has transformed the Gunners into a consistent title challenger, reviving hopes of ending a nearly two-decade league title drought, YEN.com.gh reports.
While recent inconsistencies have raised questions about the Gunners’ ability to maintain their form, the Premier League race is far from over.
Arsenal still have a chance to lift their first league crown since 2004, but supporters are making it clear that patience may be running thin if further points slip away.
