adminLONDON. – Arsene Wenger admits Arsenal are struggling to win back their furious fans after thousands stayed away from the 3-0 Engflish Premier League win over Watford.
For the second successive game at the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal played in front of vast swathes of empty red seats on Sunday.
Arsenal blamed heavy snow for the low attendance in their recent defeat against Manchester City, but the no-show against Watford could only be put down to a fatal combination of anger and apathy after another miserable season.
“Must be -4 and snowing again at the Emirates,” Manchester United legend Gary Neville, now a prominent pundit, tweeted soon after kick-off.
But Wenger, as he fights to keep his job, conceded he could understand why Arsenal supporters are so frustrated by their team’s wretched run. “There is a lot of negativity. It is like rain in England, it is easy to get,” he said.
“Of course I worry because I want our fans to be behind the team, but after what happened in that week it is understandable. We want to have the fans on our side and we do everything to make that happen.’’ – AFP.
