Mikel Arteta fires back at 'bottlers' tag as Arsenal face title nerves
"Arsenal are fighting for the Premier League title, but they have been quite mediocre in recent weeks. They have dropped several points in recent weeks (only two wins from the last seven league matches), and naturally, there has been speculation surrounding their ability to get over the line. They recently dropped points against bottom-placed Wolves, and there have been claims that Arsenal could bottle the league title once again."
"When asked about the potential tag of bottlers ahead of the pre-match press conference, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta refused to entertain the question, saying the word is not part of his vocabulary and that he is not concerned about the tag. Mikel Arteta said on the tag of bottlers: It's not part of my vocabulary, and I don't see it like this because I don't think anybody wants to do that, as an intention, but I wouldn't use that word, but that's, that's me."
Arsenal are competing for the Premier League title but have produced mediocre results in recent weeks, winning only twice in their last seven league matches. The team has dropped points, including a draw against bottom-placed Wolves, raising concerns about their ability to close out the title. Manager Mikel Arteta rejected the 'bottlers' label and said the word is not part of his vocabulary, insisting no one intends to fail. Arsenal possess a strong squad but need greater consistency to fend off experienced rivals such as Manchester City. With Liverpool and Manchester City not at their peak, a clear opportunity exists that must not be squandered.
