Arsenal supporters booed the team off the pitch following a Premier League defeat by Bournemouth. The result leaves the North London club in a difficult position ahead of a fixture against Manchester City. Mikel Arteta, the Arsenal manager, described the hunger and desire of the fans as a 'vitamin' for the players during a period of tension, per Sky Sports.
The defeat by Bournemouth followed a period of inconsistent form for the home side. According to The Guardian, Arteta wants his players to prevent the nervous atmosphere in the stands from affecting their performance on the pitch. He noted that the team must manage the pressure of the title race as they prepare for upcoming matches.
Manchester City currently sit at the top of the Premier League table, while Arsenal remain in the top four, according to official Premier League statistics. The club has not won a league title since 2004. Arteta remains confident that the connection between the supporters and the squad will improve before the season concludes.
