Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has urged fans to keep dreaming big.
Arteta gave a stirring message to the fed-up fans, but stressed he understands their frustration because the club’s past is steeped in success.
He said: “I knew the challenge. To come in the middle of the season with all the issues that were happening.
“And when you are inside you can dig even deeper and start to understand why things happen. It’s the consequences of many little aspects. I am so convinced that we are going to do it right, but we need time.
“The fans, when they get nervous it’s normal. For me, it’s not that they get nervous, it’s frustration. This club and its history is there.
“People are relating this badge with success, with joy, with trophies and emotions. We can’t change that and we must not try to change it.
“Because it makes us big and we only have to think like that. For me, it’s the only way to think about this club and the future of it. If we are all in the same place on that we will make it.
“But we have to do it then transmit it to the players, to every member of the staff and then to the fans. If we do that and we are together with that mindset we will do it.”
