Arsenal are not having a good time of things just now, but sometimes they really don’t help themselves either.
You can legitimately argue that they are in a relegation scrap unless they can find a win soon, so it’s only natural that the fans will start to get angry and possible turn against them.
We’ve seen so many times in different walks of life that simply ignoring the problem and burying your head in the sand isn’t going to help matters, so they need some string communication with the fans to fix this.

It would probably result in rival fans mocking them and accusing them of a small club mentality, but they need to embrace their current predicament and reassure everyone that they are doing all they can to turn things round.
What they’ve actually done is act like everything is going well and they’ve even resorted to blocking responses on their tweets because they can’t handle the criticism, so it will surprise nobody to see that some of the fans are bewildered by this approach:
It’s Embarrassing and weak. Shocking mentality

because they don’t like criticism

I have a real issue with Arsenal restricting the people who can reply to their tweets just to the people Arsenal follow. I can understand individuals doing it, but I don’t think organisations should, especially not football clubs.

Arsenal knew we’d spam their mentions with “where is Saliba?” tweets. It’s always something new with this club, isn’t it?

Arsenal Football Club have turned their tweets to “only people this account follows can reply”. Incredible. https://t.co/F1QBtZfmiG

@Arsenal most fans blocked from replying to tweets – more disconnection from fans. Is that because of our horrendous form and you don’t like the truth. Will you block us from buying merchandise?? #ARSMCI

Pretty shameful that Arsenal ‘s twitter admin has restricted the comments on their tweets to only those they follow, thereby silencing all the other fans. Despicable from @Arsenal. #CarabaoCup #ARSMCI https://t.co/9ydMZuEGWd

Our attitudes going into games is wrong we think we’ve won before we start, some players don’t care as long as they getting their thousands a week, you can see that easy on tv. Management all wrong .What did Pepe do when came on, Smith Rowe done well, Mustafi all he done more pass backs than getting ball forward,
