turned on their struggling team during Thursday’s
chastening 3-0 defeat against Manchester City.

Just days after losing by the same scoreline to City in the
League Cup final, Arsene Wenger’s side endured another
miserable blow at the hands of the Premier League
leaders.
First-half goals from Bernardo Silva, David Silva and
Leroy Sane left sixth-placed Arsenal 10 points off the top
four and facing the prospect of missing out on
Champions League qualification for a second successive
season.











With seven defeats from 13 games across all
competitions in 2018, Wenger’s future is reportedly in
doubt as the Arsenal hierarchy ponder ending the
Frenchman’s reign after almost 22 years in charge.
The Emirates Stadium was half-empty for the City game
and the fans that did turn up in freezing conditions were
quick to show their frustration at Wenger and his players.











A section of the crowd chanted ‘you’re not fit to wear the
shirt’ as the players traipsed off at half-time, with jeers
spreading throughout the stadium at the end of the game.
Gunners goalkeeper Cech had no complaints about the
supporters’ fury, saying: “I understand the frustration of
the fans.













“You come and you want your team to do well, and when
you are 3-0 down at half-time then you are not happy.
“Everybody has an opportunity to make their feelings
known. Football fans — this is their way of showing this.
Second half we improved but the damage was done in
the first half.










“With the conditions like that unfortunately so many
people could not turn up to the stadium. It is unfortunate
people miss out on a big game. But that is something we
cannot control.”
