Arsene Wenger has asked Arsenal supporters to emulate the supporters of rival teams as his men try to make up ground on leaders Chelsea.
Arsenal lost 2-1 at home to Watford before losing 3-1 at Chelsea till they found themselves in the fourth position, 12 points behind the west Londonders.
With 14 league games now remaining, the French coach said the title race was not yet over, calling on increasingly disgruntled fans to behave like those of Man United, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur.
“Other clubs like Manchester United, Manchester City and Liverpool have big expectations as well and big histories. We are in a fight in which we have to be united or we have no chance to make up ground. Tottenham, too, are in the fight and all the fans are behind their team and we have to do exactly the same even if we’ve had a couple of disappointing results.” he said.
Many Arsenal fans are definitely not happy due to the fortunes of other clubs – Chelsea especially.
In the sixth game of this season, Wenger’s men humiliated the Stamford Bridge club 3-0 at the Emirates, which saw them rise to the third position.
The blues however produced a run of 13 consecutive wins to go five points clear of the then second placed Liverpool.
Chelsea boss Antonio Conte said he had told his men that they face a tough trip to Turf Moor where Burnley have actually won nine of their 13 games.
