Something is happening at Arsenal. And it’s not winning, they never do anyway. the arsenal has no bullets and even the feeble teams facing relegation can beat them at home with ease.
It was another bad day in office for six-day-old Arsenal caretaker coach Freddie Ljungberg as he led the Gunners in sliding down the league table than he found it.
The environment around Emirates could not be expressed better than a furious out-of-form Mesut Ozil who came out hurling harsh words at teammate Alexandre Lacazette before facing his compatriot and Arsenal coach Per Mertesacker.

As he boiled with anger, he was seen being escorted by Mattéo Guendouzi as fans lambasted the team for poor results and even some demanded and prayed for the return of Arsene Wenger at the helm of the Gunners.

But Ljungberg has an explanation why his team was gunned down 2-1 by a lowly rated Brighton.
The players were scared, he explained. Just like that, players who have been facing bigger teams like Manchester United were scared of Brighton.

“In the first half they were scared to get the ball and a bit scored to move, they were just standing still,” he said after the match.

But fans do not want to hear anymore explanations and have flooded online platforms to vent their anger and demand that the coach be sacked, just six days after he replaced Unai Emery.
#FreddieOut.this guy was a mess in defense during his days at arsenal.I remember him jumping onto eto'o after being challenged just to avoid a score in UEFA.He is a guy who had no skill other than courage.Arsenal needs a coach first then great players to support strikers.terrible

The loss means that Arsenal are almost repeating the 1977 history when they went without a win in 10 matches. At the moment, they are on the ninth without a win.
What Unai can do Freddie can do it better😅.He carries the clubs vision and traditions like his predecessors. Post Wenger will be difficult for Arsenal #FreddieOut
