The Gunners are currently languishing in 14th place in the 2020-21 Premier League, having picked up just 13 points from their opening ten matches. That is Arsenal’s worst start to a league season in almost four decades.
On his YouTube channel ‘FIVE’, Rio Ferdinand spoke about Arsenal’s struggles in the Premier League this season. The six-time Premier League champion said in this regard:
Rio Ferdinand praises Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta for promoting young players
The former Manchester United defender heaped praise on Mikel Arteta for playing a lot of young players. However, he is not happy that the likes of Lacazette and Pepe not delivering for the Gunners, saying in this regard:
Rio Ferdinand continued:
Mikel Arteta won the FA Cup last season and started the 2020-21 campaign with a Community Sheild win over Premier League champions Liverpool.
However, the Gunners have been very inconsistent in the Premier League, winning just four of their opening ten matches. Arsenal have particularly struggled for goals in their last six league games, with only Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang and Gabriel managing to find the back of the net once apiece.
During this period, Arsenal won at the home of Manchester United in more than a decade but have lost three home games on the trot, doing so against Wolves, Aston Villa and Leicester City.
