Premier League: Mikel Arteta Not to Blame for Arsenal's Form, Says Keeper Leno

News 18  

Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta is not to blame for their precarious position in the Premier League and the players must shoulder the responsibility for the team’s dismal form, goalkeeper Bernd Leno said. Arsenal snapped a three-game losing streak in the league on Wednesday with a 1-1 draw at home to Southampton but the London club are not out of danger, sitting five points above the relegation zone in 15th place. We criticise ourselves and the players know that they are responsible.” Leno said a lack of discipline had contributed to Arsenal’s problems and the players were determined to put things right. “We have addressed this very clearly internally and everyone agrees that we have to change this very quickly.” Arsenal’s next match is a league trip to fifth-placed Everton on Saturday.
