Arsenal have been brilliant all season and they’ve hit a little bad run of form. “They need to understand how much the fan support means to the players and how much it can help you.”The players will have put so much work in day in and day out on the training pitch to be in the position they’re in now, so when you lose a game and you get booed off, that can affect players. “I think for Arsenal to win the league, the Arsenal fans need to play their part.”Are Man City now title favourites after win over Arsenal?
