Tomas Rosicky today claimed the volatile atmosphere at Emirates Stadium is damaging Arsenal.
Although the full extent of last night’s defeat will be unclear until the draw for the next phase of the Champions League is made on December 20, Arsenal will play the second leg away from home after qualifying as runners-up.
That may, however, be a blessing in disguise for them because fans have becoming increasingly vocal in their frustrations with the team at the Emirates after just six home wins from 11 matches this season.
The Gunners host West Brom on Saturday and Rosicky (above), who scored last night, said: “I can understand the frustrations, I am an Arsenal fan as well when I am not playing.
“It is understandable but we have some young guys and this is not helping. We have to all stick together, which is what we did last season when everyone was writing us off. The performances we produced against Tottenham and AC Milan [in last season’s Champions League], you could feel the great atmosphere at the Emirates. Without doubt that was the best atmosphere I have ever played in.
“We have to win the people again, that is the challenge. It will be difficult but we are capable of doing it again. If we are all on board, Arsenal is a great place to play football.”
