Mikel is in hell! Arsenal lost their opening match of the new Premier League season after a limp display at Brentford Community Stadium. Manager Mikel Arteta wanted to start the campaign in style, but he ended up apologising to the Gunners after a nightmare 2-0 defeat.”First of all, I want to thank the travelling Arsenal fans. And after that, I apologise for the result, and we know that we have to improve. We have two big games coming up right now, and we need a different performance to get a different result.”New season, old problems! Disoriented Arsenal suffer two painful Bee stings in a spectacular collapseTwo big games that Arteta is talking about are Chelsea at home and Manchester City away. There is a realistic chance that Arteta’s team could be stuck at the bottom of the table after the first three matchdays. Based on last night’s performance, you wouldn’t want to be in the Spaniard’s shoes.”I’m disappointed. It’s not the way we wanted to start the season. We didn’t start well, conceding a goal in an isolated incident. We didn’t cope well with the second balls or long balls. And that’s all they needed to create problems for us. Then we conceded from a long throw. The biggest worry was our threat in front of goal. The number of times we got around the box and got in great situations, but it wasn’t enough threat or shots on target. If you don’t do that in the Premier League, then you won’t win.”Saturday, 19.30: (7.50) Norwich (4.60) Liverpool (1.43)It was embarrassing for Mikel and everyone connected with the current Arsenal regime that they should arrive at the first game of the season so totally unprepared. Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang were missing, stricken with illness. Still, even that news raised more questions than answers, given the state of Arsenal’s recruitment policy and the supposed clear-out that is intended to finance it.The ODDS for home team to win the match and more goals to be scored in the second half (1&MG2) are at 3.05.Uamuzi ni wako!Tovuti 👉https://t.co/FyNBtNhYe3 pic.twitter.com/b3mpGP9DNm— Mozzart Bet Kenya (@mozzartbetkenya) August 14, 2021 Sergi Canos scored in the first half before Christian Norgaard headed home after the break to give Premier League new boys a dream start in the top flight.
