Arsenal lost 3-nil at home to champion Manchester City on Sunday in a very embarrassing manner.
It is Arsenal FC worst run in 42 years (since 1977). They are currently 10th on the English Premier League log - 7 points above the relegation zone.
In their next 4 games the die may be cast - with mouthwatering ties like Everton, Bournemouth, Chelsea & Manchester United line-up on the trot. The gunners are sleep walking to relegation.
Arsenal has conceded first goal in their last 6 games in the league, which is the longest run in the competition's history.
The causes of the Gunners poor form can be attributed to these factors
Absence of owner
Stan kroenke's priorities lies with the L.A Rams and his sofi stadium project in Inglewood, which will be the most expensive stadium ever built.
To Kroenke, Arsenal is a mere cash cow. He has never put any of his own money into the club, yet the worth of his revenue is increasing by hundreds of millions of pounds every season.
When Stan Kroenke joined Arsenal in 2007, the club had just been in the UEFA Champions League final - 12 years after, the team's European ambitions are bleak.
Other causes of this dampening in form are;
Lack of leadership in the team
Arsenal's previous captains are rebels.
Contracts mismanagement and a spiralling wage bills
Some great players left the club with lesser transfer fees.
Wasted millions and poor squad management
Some players have yet to live up to expectations, while some didn't at all.
