Well, Arsenal themselves made things difficult and they tried to fix it as hard as they could. I must say that Arsenal fought to the end, did not give up, but the fact that many chances could not be realized is also true. So there is no need to praise or blame Arsenal, the more so because Southampton also fought to the end and every point gives them a chance to stay in the Premier League.
I don't think the game against Manchester City will be like the final of the whole confrontation for Arsenal. Arsenal have 6 games ahead and need to win everything they can if Arsenal want to be champions this year.
But that is a mistake for Arsenal because out of 3 matches they only brought 3 points, while the one behind Man City will take advantage of the opportunity with the remaining 2 matches but the hardest thing is if they meet next week the scenario Arsenal loses then the hope is even more difficult to fix because on the other hand Man City will certainly defend it until the end of the season.
Lately Arsenal have been declining I don't know if this is a decline or they have conceded a bit because they couldn't win some of their lowly team matches, like last night we should have assumed Arsenal would definitely win on paper but it was a surprise to be a draw especially Arsenal were behind goals from Southampton.
With the rest of the end of the season Arsenal have a solid match with big teams.
In the premier league there are no weak teams, even teams from the bottom of the standings can fight back and draw or even beat the favorite.
Today Liverpool almost lost on the team ranked 18th in the league and just lucky that Liverpool was able to keep the victory over Nottingham.
So Arsenal tried, but Southampton were also fighting for survival, which gave them motivation.
3 draws in the last 3 games is not the best result for Arsenal, but there were no losses either. They have a match against City ahead where they can show their character and see if Arsenal are ready to become the champion of the English Premier League this year.
