Alexis and Ozil Shine, Arsenal Struggles.
March 22, 2017
While Arsenal remains in the top 5 of the Premier League table, the team as a whole have been struggling lately. With stars all around the team and a world renowned manager, something has been off for the club. Recently they fell 5-1 to Bayern Munich unfortunately eliminating them from Champions League play. While Arsenal was a long shot to win the Champions League, they are still expected to finish highly in the Premier League. Among other good news for Arsenal, they have a relatively easy game against Watford coming up in the 6th round of the FA cup. While the team is struggling right now, Sanchez and Ozil have been bright spots in a relatively dark stretch for the team.
Up front Alexis has been an absolute dream for arsenal scoring over 15 goals this season. The Chilean international has dominated the left wing and striker position for Arsenal. Along with him is Ozil who is close to leading the league in assists this year. Despite both these players playing incredibly Arsenal still struggles to get three points consistently. Unfortunately this has created a decent amount of skepticism at the manager position. It is rumored that the club is perhaps looking to replace the current manager if the form of the team does not improve. While manager Wegner is proven and very successful, something has been off recently for Arsenal.
While Arsenal is still struggling the good news is they have the final leg of the season to make a run. Known for their ability to bounce back, this is all good news for Arsenal. With shining talent in the offensive half and a young but talented defense, it is more than possible to fall in the top three. Although currently 13 points from the top of the table, if Chelsea is to drop in form a potential championship run could be in the works. Hopefully an increase in form and deep end of season run can return Arsenal to the top three and find security at the manager position.
