Arsenal supporters were left frustrated at the weekend, after watching their side lose 3-0 to Manchester City.

Arsenal forward Nicolas Pepe has told the Metro that he understands why the fans are frustrated with their side’s form.

Arsenal have badly disappointed so far this season, and were booed off at the weekend after they were beaten 3-0 by Manchester City.

A large number of the supporters in attendance at the Emirates Stadium left at half-time, as Arsenal were completely outplayed by Pep Guardiola’s men.

Those who did stay aired their grievances at full-time, with Arsenal once again failing to impress.

But Pepe insists that he can totally understand why Arsenal fans are so frustrated watching the performances that the side are putting in right now.

‘We understand the fans,” Pepe said. “After conceding three goals, they are not happy. They are Arsenal fans, they are used to winning. We need to give them the taste of victory again.”

Arsenal are currently sat in 10th place in the Premier League table, and they have only won one game since the end of October.

Arsenal have been through a managerial change during that time, but even the temporary appointment of Freddie Ljungberg does not seem to have snapped them out of their slump.

The Gunners are now under pressure to find a permanent successor to Unai Emery sooner rather than later, with Mikel Arteta seemingly the leading candidate to take over.

Arsenal are next in action against Everton at Goodison Park on Saturday.
