adminLONDON. — Aaron Ramsey admits Arsenal are approaching a crucial five days in a bid to save their season. Gunners boss Arsene Wenger came under heavy fire in the week before the international break after his men threw away a 3-0 Champions League lead to draw, away to Anderlecht. Five days later Arsenal then led in their English Premier League clash at Swansea , only to lose to two goals in the last 15 minutes.
The two results mean the north Londoners have won just five of their last 14 matches in all competitions. The run has seen the early-season optimism surrounding the club — after their big-money summer spending — slowly evaporate.
It also led Wenger to claim in the wake of the Swansea match that the Gunners, 12 points behind leaders Chelsea after 11 games, are no longer in the title race.
Ramsey, however, believes the club have two key contests over the next week — at home to Manchester United on Saturday and again to Borussia Dortmund next Wednesday — to rescue their campaign. Asked if he believed his side could turn things around, he said: “Yes. It was a disappointing result against Swansea. — The Mirror.
