The 1-0 defeat at home to Manchester City disappointed all the Arsenal players and fans, but in addition to the disappointment, the fans expressed their understanding of the result, on the one hand, Arsenal's performance in this game was not bad, but it lacked a lot of luck, and the responsibility for the loss did not lie entirely with the team.

On the other hand, the Premier League's Christmas schedule is indeed too scary, and the players can easily get tired from back-to-back games, and in such a dense and high-intensity schedule, the occasional mistake does not seem to be an unforgivable thing.

Fans regret that in the league rankings, due to this defeat, Arsenal still have 42 points, but the ranking has dropped from second to third, and Chelsea has 45 points for winning this round, completing the comeback. Manchester United, who also won the game, reached 48 points, and the gap between Arsenal and Manchester United was widened again.

A defeat did not dampen Arsenal's confidence, and two days later, a reinvigorated Arsenal hosted their FA Cup quarter-final opponents Leeds United at the Emirates Stadium.

Today's Leeds United team is no longer the hot Young Guard, Leeds United, which has been slumped due to financial problems, has been so bad in recent years that it has even fallen out of the top flight, and now they are struggling in the Championship, in the middle of the table, and there is no hope of promotion this season.

Faced with such a team, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger chose to hide most of the main team and sent a squad dominated by second-tier players. originally thought that a "second-tier team" would be able to cut the opponent down, but the final result was a big disappointment, and Arsenal, who were playing at home, were forced to draw 1:1 by Leeds United.

In addition to the disappointing result of the game, what made fans even more dissatisfied was the process of the game, in their own home stadium, Arsenal was beaten by the opponent to score a goal, actually trailed Leeds United for a full 87 minutes, if it was not for the substitute Bendtner who took advantage of a chance to score a goal, then it is very likely that Arsenal would have been hated at home.

It is worth mentioning that Qin Shou is still the starter in this game, his physical strength is not a problem at all, even if he fights continuously within a week, Qin Shou is still full of energy. And Bendtner's missed goal at the last moment also came from Qin Shou's powerful long-range shot at the edge of the penalty area, which caused the opponent's goalkeeper to save it. This also proves once again that Qin Shou is indeed a player with his own aura - as long as he can't score from a distance, then his teammates can score goals.

The FA Cup clash with Leeds United was disappointing, but the team didn't lose, and with the FA Cup quarter-finals being a two-legged knockout format, they still have a chance to turn the tide on the road.

However, Arsenal didn't dwell on the draw to end the FA Cup clash with Leeds United, with the Gunners resting for a break and returning to travel three days later to Suffolk County in the east to take on Ipswich away.

Ipswich is Arsenal's opponent in the League Cup and is a team in League One.

One is an old powerhouse in the top league, and the other is a weak team in the first division, and they are several levels behind each other, which can be described as a world of difference. However, the result was once again beyond everyone's expectations, with most of the main players starting, Arsenal played in a mess, sleepwalking on the field, and finally were upset by the opponent, losing the game with a score of 0:1.

League, FA Cup, and counting the defeat in the League Cup, Arsenal has lost two and drawn one in the last three games, and has not won in three rounds. Although Arsenal are still in the top three in the league table, and neither the FA Cup nor the League Cup have lost hope of progressing to the next round, fans are beginning to question the team's form - Arsenal have not won a title in the past six years, during which there are many excellent performances at the beginning, but often in the middle and late stages, they gradually fall behind and lose their contention for the title. Fans are worried that the team will have another "Waterloo incident", losing confidence in consecutive defeats, so that the more they play, the more they are out of shape, and thus the collapse of the team.

And the English media, which has always been good at fanning the flames, has not been idle, and has begun to add fuel to Arsenal's performance in recent times.

"Back-to-back wins have boosted the Gunners' self-confidence, and a three-game winless run is their punishment!"

"Arsenal's old mistakes are repeated, the lack of stamina, and the shortcomings of not being durable make it difficult for them to take the lead on the road to the championship!"

"Professor Arsene Wenger is great, but his lack of on-the-spot command has been shown in recent games!"

"Fighting on four fronts, it is very likely that the four fronts will be completely defeated! Just over the halfway point of the season, Arsenal is facing the biggest dilemma - the form is so sluggish, what else can the Gunners rely on to win the final title! ”

'With no wins against the underdogs, Arsenal will host a strong Chelsea in the next round of the league and I'm very unoptimistic about the prospects of the Gunners.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Failing to win three games in a row, facing the doubts of fans, and the overwhelming reports of accusations or ridicule in the media, Arsenal as a whole is under tremendous pressure, and the atmosphere in the team is extremely dignified.

After an early slump and a raft of injuries, the team has finally regained their sense and started to climb the league table, which has given the whole Arsenal team hope of winning a trophy this season. But now, Arsenal are winless in three games, and the team is facing difficulties again, and this kind of rollercoaster ride is really frustrating.

The players were already under a lot of pressure during this time, and when they saw the one-sided criticism and questioning in the media, the anger in everyone's hearts was even worse, if it wasn't for the head coach's pressure, maybe some players would have jumped out and had a war of words against the camera and the media.

While the outside is full of doubts and criticism, the interior of Arsenal is not calm.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and the same is true for football clubs. There are often many voices in a dressing room, and when the team is doing well, the contradictions are temporarily covered up. And when the results are not good, then the contradiction will be planned, and even conflict.

Conflicts broke out more than once between the local gang led by Walcourt and the foreign gang led by Fabregas. The former believes that the team has been on the right track until Fabregas returns, and when Cesc Fabregas returned, he replaced Rosicky as the command, but did not give much help to the team, resulting in poor results.

The latter, on the other hand, felt that the former did not give them more support during the game, which was a clear distrust of them. If the former is new and new to help his teammates, the team's performance will not suddenly and quickly decline.

In fact, Cesc Fabregas's performance on the pitch after his return was really average. It's normal for this to happen, and it's rare for a player to return to perform well after a few months off the pitch. A lot of times, players play to find form and feel and then settle in again.

And Walcott and others really don't buy much into the accounts of this group of star players. Seeing the poor performance of their teammates, they have more options to go it alone, which makes the team seem to split into two groups in the game, each doing their own thing, and not having anything to do with each other.

The conflict between the two small groups in the team escalated, from mutual accusations at the beginning, to mutual pushing and shoving in training. There are hot-tempered players who even almost get into a fight. If it weren't for the timely discovery of the coaches, maybe the Arsenal team might have really staged a full-fledged martial arts performance.

And in this contradiction, Qin Shou did not participate too much. Although he is friends with Walket and others, after all, he is a player on loan from Major League Soccer, and it remains to be said whether he can stay in the team in the end.

But if you don't get into trouble, it doesn't mean that trouble won't come to your door. It was precisely because of his good relationship with Walcott and others that Fabregas automatically classified him into Walcott's group, and suffered a lot of accusations from the other party.

Qin Shou is not a good-natured character, and when he is angry, he naturally wants to fight back. After a verbal abuse, Qin Shou, who was furious, threw Bendtner, who had a quarrel with him, to the ground. Don't look at the Bendtner people, but Qin Shou, who has practiced boxing since he was a child, has a huge strength, and he smashed the opponent with one hand.

The two main figures in the Arsenal team who almost staged an all-martial arts show are Qin Shou and Bendtner. Fortunately, the coaches appeared in time and pulled the two groups apart, otherwise no one knows how far this incident would eventually develop.

Coach Wenger was rarely angry, whether it was right or wrong, all the players involved in this conflict were angrily scolded, and several players with serious circumstances were fined within the team, and the two players who were involved in the action, Qin Shou and Bendtner, were punished more severely, and the two were not only punished by the coaching staff with a large amount of money, but also banned by the team for three games.

In other words, in the next three games, Qin Shou and Bendtner will not be able to play for the team.

Such a punishment is tantamount to a heavy blow to Qin Shou. Unlike Bendtner, who is a regular Arsenal player, he is only a player on loan, and if he can't impress the club's leadership, he will have to pack up and return to the United States after the winter break. And now that he has been banned for three games, by the time he can return from the ban, there is not much time left. This undoubtedly cast a shadow over his loan trip.

Walcott and other friends also understand that such a punishment is indeed extremely heavy for Qin Shou, and in addition to guilt, they are also very unhappy for Qin Shou, they said that they will collectively go to the head coach to intercede, proving that this conflict has nothing to do with Qin Shou, and hope that the team can reduce the punishment of Qin Shou.

Qin Shou stopped the kindness of his teammates, he knew very well that he had indeed made a mistake this time, even if it was for a reason, it could not hide the fact that he had done it. Wenger is a very assertive coach, and it is difficult to make changes to what he decides, not to mention the conflict within the team this time, if his wrist is not strong enough, I am afraid it will be difficult to hold down the players, and it will also be extremely damaging to the majesty of the first army manager.

Therefore, for the team's punishment, Qin Shou can only accept it silently. The only thing he can do now is to wait, wait for the ban to be lifted, and use the little time left to impress the club.
