It’s been a miserable season for Arsenal, with their poor form continuing with a 3-0 home defeat against Liverpool over the weekend.
The Gunners barely put up a fight against Jurgen Klopp’s side, who strolled to a 3-0 victory at the Emirates Stadium to improve on their own recent patchy form.

These are worrying times for Arsenal, however, who looked every bit the mid-table side they’re proving to be as they continue to sit in 10th place in the Premier League table.
It’s interesting to see how much longer Arteta will last if things don’t improve, with these damning stats from Opta’s Orbinho illustrating just how bad Arsenal have been at home this season in particular…
Arsenal have lost six Premier League home games this season – that's more than in the whole of the last two seasons put together (5).
It's also the most home league defeats since 1994-95 (also 6).
They lost 7 in 1992-93

Arsenal Premier League home games they have failed to score in
2016-17 – 1?
2017-18 – 1?
2018-19 – 1?
2019-20 – 1?
2020-21 – 7?— Orbinho (@Orbinho) April 5, 2021
These numbers are unacceptable for a club of Arsenal’s size, especially after Arteta has actually been given a fair amount of license to bring in his own players.
Big names like Thomas Partey, Willian, Gabriel Magalhaes and Martin Odegaard have been brought in by Arteta, and it’s hard to imagine there isn’t a manager out there who couldn’t do more with this squad of players.
