Arsenal striker concedes frustration
Arsenal striker Robin van Persie has conceded the team are as frustrated as the fans but that they are “giving it their all”.
A few months ago Arsenal we involved in all competitions but defeat at the hands of Birmingham City in the Carling Cup final led to a string of poor results leaving the North London side without silverware for their sixth consecutive season and now fighting to remain in third position in the Premiership.
Van Persie has hit an impressive 17 Premier League goals this season but claims his own form means nothing if the team do end up winning competitions.
“I can understand the fans’ reaction because I feel connected with them and know they are frustrated. The players share that frustration but we are giving it everything.”
The Arsenal striker added.
“I am the first person to say when something isn’t good enough and I’m not trying to hide from our results.”
Arsenal must now win their remaining game and hope that Manchester City slip up in their final match else face a Champions League qualification match in which they could face Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich.
