Arsenal’s Mikel Arteta questions the team’s ability to win “big trophies” after a disappointing week that saw them exit the FA Cup and face a precarious situation in the Carabao Cup.
The Gunners have not won a major trophy since Arteta led them to an unexpected FA Cup victory in 2020, but the manager insists it has not been a trophy drought since then.
Struggling to keep up with Liverpool in the Premier League, Arsenal suffered a penalty shootout defeat to Manchester United in the FA Cup and now face an uphill task against Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup.
Despite playing against 10 men for almost an hour in the FA Cup tie against Manchester United, Arsenal failed to capitalize on the advantage.
Arteta expressed concerns about Arsenal’s reliance on lucky breaks and emphasized the need for proactive play rather than waiting for opportunities to arise.
Regarding the team’s chances of winning major trophies, Arteta admitted uncertainty but highlighted the level of performance required to compete at the highest level.
While Arsenal have been successful in the Champions League so far, their recent domestic struggles have raised questions about their consistency.
Injuries to key players like Bukayo Saka, Ethan Nwaneri, and Gabriel Jesus have added to Arsenal’s challenges after overcoming an earlier injury crisis.
