Thierry Henry has defended Arsenal supporters who booed their team following the opening game of the season.
Arsene Wenger’s side lost 4-3 to Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool after conceding four goals in less than 20 minutes.
And when referee Michael Oliver blew for the final whistle the Emirates Stadium erupted into jeers.
Arsenal have won just one Premier League opener since the turn of the decade and fans in north London are growing increasingly tired of their situation.
And rather than criticise the angry supporters, Arsenal’s record goal scorer Henry praised them for supporting the team fully even while they were capitulating on the pitch.
“The fans didn’t have a go at 4-1, they supported the team,” said Henry on Sky Sports. “But at the end they are frustrated with another bad start to the season.
“You have a lot of things to take into consideration but the bottom line is they have lost again at home.”
