Arsenal's terrible start could go from bad to worse

Trouble for Mikel Arteta's Arsenal. The group is preparing for the 2021-22 season with various friendly matches, like all other teams in world football, and so far, the results in their case are awful. Not only because of the way the scores looked, but also because of the sensations on the pitch. A 2-1 loss and a 2-2 draw were the results.

The opponents were Hibernian and Rangers. Jack Ross' side were the weaker opponents and rightly witnessed the most mistakes on the part of the 'Gunners'. Willian's poor form, a silly goalkeeping error that ended in a goal... there was no lack of bad news.

The slump could go further because the team's next matches are far from easy They will face Inter Milan, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur. The Serie A champions and two Premier League sides will test the Emirates Stadium side's unstable start to the new season.

On an optimistic note, perhaps Arsenal will surprise everyone and pick up victories against these opponents to turn their pre-season around. The first official fixture will be against newly promoted Brentford. It is an ideal scenario to start the season with three points.
