Mikel Arteta's 'bring your dinner' battlecry was Arsenal manager's latest failed gimmick - Gunners fans are being let down by the team, not the other way round
Arsenal's Pattern of Late-Season Struggles
It's that time of year for Arsenal again. When the calendar rolls into April, the world sees what their team is really made of. Unfortunately for the Gunners, a familiar pattern is appearing before our eyes. Saturday's defeat at home to Bournemouth was eerily reminiscent of other losses at this stage of previous seasons.
Recent Form and Expectations
This setback against the Cherries was far from a smash-and-grab by Andoni Iraola's side, nor have Arsenal shown the form of champions over the last few weeks. Only last month did a potential quadruple seem not only possible, but more likely than not given their results up until the Carabao Cup final and kind draws in the FA Cup and Champions League.
