Rice and manager Arteta are determined to get Arsenal back on the winning track. |
Despite still leading the Premier League, the London team made things difficult for themselves by missing the opportunity to widen the gap with Man City. The gap is now only 5 points and Arsenal have played one more game. The two points dropped against Wolves have raised doubts about their character.
However, manager Arteta responded emphatically: "'Self-destruction' is not in my vocabulary. No one intentionally throws away a victory. We have to accept it and move on." He stressed that he takes responsibility when the team performs poorly, while affirming that the demands placed on the players are always at the highest level.
Midfielder Declan Rice revealed that the entire team had a frank discussion after the draw against Wolves. "The championship doesn't come automatically. We have to win it and deserve it. The whole team isn't shying away from the issue and we're all ready to move on," Rice emphasized.
Late on February 22nd, Arsenal will travel to Tottenham's stadium. Three points are essential if the "Gunners" don't want to continue their downward spiral in the title race. Notably, Arsenal haven't lost to Spurs since 2022. After the derby, Arsenal will face Chelsea and Brighton in the Premier League and Mansfield in the FA Cup.
Pressure is inevitable. But as Arteta insists, the only answer must be given on the pitch. There, Arsenal must decide their own destiny.
