Despite the delicate situation, Mikel Arteta continues to receive support from the Arsenal dressing room itself. This time it was Bernd Leno who sang the ‘mea culpa’ for the bad results they are reaping this season. “The coach is the one who has the least guilt, the players are the only ones to blame,” said the German goalkeeper on ‘Sky Sports’. “If you look at how we ran down the field at times, the players are the only ones to blame.”

Leno insisted that “The coach is not a problem in the dressing room, there is no criticism of him. We criticize ourselves and the players know that we are responsible.” And without any regard he admitted that “The attitude is bad, we lack discipline and we don’t have confidence in ourselves. There are many factors at play here.”

The 28-year-old goalkeeper did not try to make any excuses and said that the lack of discipline had contributed to Arsenal’s problems. “We are getting red cards (Granit Xhaka was sent off on Sunday in the 0-1 against Burnley and Gabriel Magalhaes on Wednesday against Southampton), making mistakes, staying out of position. These are things that we have clearly addressed a thousand times. In the end, it’s a lack of focus on the part of the players. “

And he concluded that the players are determined to turn the situation around. “We have addressed this very clearly internally and we all agree that we have to change this very quickly.”. The next opportunity to begin to reverse this crisis of results will be on Saturday, when Arsenal will visit Carlo Ancelot’s Evertonti -one of the Premier League revelations- at Goodison Park (6:30 pm). Arteta will face his former team as a player from January 2005 to August 2011.
