Freddie Ljungberg believes Arsenal “just need to dig out a win” through some way or form.
The Gunners lost 1-2 against Brighton & Hove Albion at home.
It was once again another disaster performance by the side, extending their winless run to 9 games. Ljungberg insists a win might turn things around for Arsenal but that looks far from the truth.
The Emirates once again witnessed a disarrayed first Xi with no structure to their football. They gave away possession far too cheap and had no answer when Brighton had the ball. A well-drilled Seagulls side ran havoc in the midfield through Aaron Mooy.
“That’s the tough part. They looked very short on confidence, in the first half they were scared to get the ball, scared to move and were just standing still,” he told a news conference.
“We need to talk about that but they need to, have to dig out a win and get some confidence because they can do it.
“They showed it in the second half, I think we did that really well for 20 minutes. It’s hard to say that when you lose at home but they were very good in that spell.”
“I think it’s obvious that nervousness from the crowd can affect football players no matter what quality you have,” he said. “They’re human beings like everyone else, they want to do well and they feel the pressure but that’s something we need to work on. If we dig out a win, we can get there like I said. They showed that in the second half.”
