Once, Arsenal came from the last place to the fourth place, ushering in the best chance to enter the Champions League, but now, their road to the fourth place or the Champions League has been greatly reduced. Maybe it all starts with Arteta being named the best coach of The Month in March, after all, it's toxic.
Arsenal lost consecutive defeats to Crystal Palace and Brighton, and the original good situation was almost gone. Lost away to Crystal Palace and home to Brighton. So what happened to Arsenal in this 2-1 home defeat to Brighton, or what happened to arsenal.
Dashed hopes?
After a 3-0 away loss to Crystal Palace, Arsenal need to show their resilience and boost morale with a win. But instead, they lost to a team that hasn't scored goals and won no victories in recent weeks.
Arsenal look like they've lost some ideas in the game and that will be a big problem for Arteta as they will be away to Southampton in the next game. The latter has just been humiliated by Chelsea and desperately needs to save face.
Arsenal's defeat meant giving up the fourth place firmly to Tottenham, after all, Spurs then beat Villa, although Arsenal played one less game than Tottenham, but this game was exactly the North London derby between the two teams.
So Arsenal's hopes of competing for four are almost slim.
VAR strikes again.
Arsenal never seem to have been favored by the FA, and it seems that the FA is particularly fair and just about Arsenal.
In this game, when Martinelli equalised with a header in first-half stoppage time, he cancelled the goal after an incredibly long period of VAR confirmation. Because of this opportunity to score from a corner, he was eventually sentenced to Martinelli for being offside.
The Gunners' players protested the result, but to no avail, and Martinelli's celebration was useless. Of course, arsenal's failure is rooted in itself.
Arsenal's attacking woes have resurfaced.
The Gunners desperately need a striker, an argument that is controversial. But with each game over, it seems very clear exactly how much they need a striker.
Lacazette was the organizer for most of the game, and while the Gunners had overwhelming possession, no one was able to hammer the nails on the head.
For a time in the first half, Arsenal had more than 72 per cent of the ball, but Lacazette did not take any of the scoring chances, which was the result of his poor no-ball running. So the burden of attack fell on young and talented midfielders such as Martinelli and Smith. Lo and Saka, though they didn't have a chance to bother Brighton either.
So how Much Arsenal need a striker.
