"Former Arsenal full-back Lee Dixon says Mikel Arteta needs to "let the handbrake come off a little bit" if the Gunners are to land their first Premier League title since 2003. Yesterday's 3-2 defeat by Manchester United at the Emirates means Arsenal have dropped seven points in their last three league games with their lead at the summit trimmed back to four points following wins over the weekend for Manchester City and Aston Villa."
"Dixon was surprised by Arsenal's display against resurgent United but said there were bound to be ups and downs over the course of a season. He added: "That is the sloppiest I have seen Arsenal in a long time. "It was a disappointing performance. I think they were in control for the first half an hour, but they were not creating anything, which has been a problem of late.""
Arsenal suffered a 3-2 defeat by Manchester United, dropping seven points in their last three league games and seeing their lead cut to four points after weekend results. The team scored only twice across those matches despite possessing significant attacking talent. Lee Dixon urged Mikel Arteta to be bolder and "let the handbrake come off a little bit" so offensive players can thrive. Dixon called the United display one of Arsenal's sloppiest in a long time and emphasized that slumps happen during a season. He stressed the importance of how the team reacts and bounces back.
