The Gunners currently sit top of the league table, but their performances in recent weeks have been mediocre.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mikel_Arteta_has_issued_a_warning\"><\/span>Mikel Arteta has issued a warning.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"my-2 (&amp;+p):mt-4 (&amp;_strong:has(+br)):inline-block (&amp;_strong:has(+br)):pb-2\">They are struggling to score despite spending millions of pounds acquiring quality attacking players. It will be interesting to see if Arteta can get the best out of his team in the coming weeks. There is no doubt that they have a formidable team and they should do better.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-2 (&amp;+p):mt-4 (&amp;_strong:has(+br)):inline-block (&amp;_strong:has(+br)):pb-2\">The Spanish manager has spent more than \u00a31bn since joining the club in 2019, winning the FA Cup and two Community Seals. Considering the investment amount, winning a trophy is small, and he will need to achieve a big trophy from now on. It remains to be seen whether Arsenal can win the league or even the UEFA Champions League this season. They are certainly in a good position to win the league title. Teams like Manchester City are very mediocre and Arsenal are the sure favorites to go all the way.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Arteta&#8217;s three-letter message to Arsenal players as they tackle the &#8216;fear of failure&#8217; after defeat against Man United<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_Arteta_win_the_title\"><\/span>Can Arteta win the title?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mikel Arteta applauds Arsenal fans (Photo by George Wood\/Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"my-2 (&amp;+p):mt-4 (&amp;_strong:has(+br)):inline-block (&amp;_strong:has(+br)):pb-2\">Arteta has successfully rebuilt the team following a slump following the departure of manager Arsene Wenger. But he needs to deliver the trophy now. Club executives have backed him with large sums of money and are now looking for tangible benefits.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-2 (&amp;+p):mt-4 (&amp;_strong:has(+br)):inline-block (&amp;_strong:has(+br)):pb-2\">Arsenal invested in Victor Gokeres, Eberechi Eze and Noni Madukes in the summer transfer window to solve their attacking problems, but all three players were very poor. If we want to finish the season on a high note, we need to get the most out of our new players.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mikel Arteta tells Arsenal players: &#8216;Standards have to rise&#8217;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End -->\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is reportedly under pressure from the club&#8217;s top brass following the team&#8217;s recent defeat to Manchester United.
