In the last round of 36, Arsenal struggled to hold on to a 2-2 draw with Liverpool at Anfield. After falling 2 goals behind, the London team played bravely when equalizing thanks to goals from Martinelli and Merino.
But that was not enough to satisfy coach Mikel Arteta. He expressed his anger after the match, according to Metro: "What we did in the first half was only at the level of the championship... We reacted, great but it's clear that overall it's unacceptable."
The match against Liverpool accurately reflects the situation of the Gunners this season, when they are almost only good enough to compete, not enough to win.
After defeating Real Madrid in the Champions League Quarter-finals, Arsenal once dreamed of a miracle. But then, they had to accept the heartbreaking reality, when PSG eliminated them from the Champions League Semi-finals and saw Liverpool crowned Premier League champions. Thus, the Gunners continue to lose everything since the FA Cup title in the 2019-2020 season.
Jamie Carragher, a commentator for Sky Sports, said Arteta did well to turn Arsenal from the top four race into Man City's opponent.
But he also warned: They dont want to change coaches, but there will be many people who say: if there are no titles for five or six years, its time to ask again.
The problem is, if they replace Arteta, Arsenal could fall into a state of chaos like Chelsea. But if you do not change but still stay still, it is like standing in the middle of the flow without knowing how to continue swimming or turning around".
