Speaking on the most recent episode of the Transfer Window podcast, Ian McGarry revealed certain Arsenal players are ‘dissatisfied’ with the team’s results and performances and have started ‘pointing the finger at the younger players’ for costly errors.

The Gunners have endured a torrid 2020/21 campaign. Mikel Arteta’s side are currently sitting in ninth position in the Premier League standings and are likely to embark upon a first season without European football in 25 years after losing to Villarreal in the Europa League semi-finals.

Poor displays have seen the capital club collect just 15 victories from their 35 top-flight outings this time around, increasing the pressure on their 39-year-old manager.

Now though, McGarry has disclosed how things in the Arsenal dressing room are starting to sour as the elder statesmen of the capital club’s first team have started to lose patience with some of the younger members of the squad.

He said: (2:35) “We are hearing at the Transfer Window podcast, there is still a residue of bad attitude, and certainly friction in the dressing room.

“Some players are dissatisfied, not just with results, but the fact that they’re not playing well, and some of the more senior players are pointing the finger at the younger players for mistakes in their game and costing results as well.”

TIF Thoughts on Arsenal…

It’s been a tough time for the north London outfit of late, but Sunday’s comfortable 3-1 victory over West Brom may ease some tensions for now.

A mid-table finish is inevitable for the Gunners, though, and that is simply not what is expected of the 13-time English top flight champions.

Big improvements will have to be made next season if Arteta wants to keep his job at the Emirates Stadium, and it’s no surprise there’s unrest within the dressing room.
