March fever strikes at the Emirates

March has not been a friendly month for the Arsenal.  The recent defeat to title rivals Chelsea on Saturday 22 March 2014 will hurt for the longest while. Arsene Wenger was leading Arsenal for the 1000th game in charge and it was definitely one to forget. Only 17 minutes in to the game and Arsene Wenger’s boys were 3 nil down and went on to lose 6-0. Their latest 5-1 defeat at the hands of Liverpool in Anfield started hovering in their minds.  Despite the Red Card no championship daring team should lose 6 nil. Therefore Arsenal has conceded 17 goals against title contenders and scored only 2 in 3 games.

Their defeat to Stoke City on the 1st day of the month was the start of a dreadful fever yet again. In the upcoming fixtures, they will host the free scoring Manchester City and take a difficult trip to Everton the following week. As usual, many people will expect Wenger’s men to collapse at the Emirates. The problem with Arsenal has been their inability to beat their title rivals and they couldn't even beat a dreadful ended Manchester United.

Arsenal have been in top 4 for almost 2 decades now but these consecutive defeats questions their credibility as a top side. They do not just lose to their rivals but they lose with a huge margin. They can’t win at home let alone win any silverware.  Wenger's contract is coming to an end and many people are looking forward to the decision concerning his contract.

Perhaps, a big question an Arsenal fan can ask themselves is “What change will Wenger bring that he failed to give in the past 9 years of trophy drought? At Killerpass we will wait for that killer question to be answered!
