Tyler Adams claims Bournemouth fed off the anxiety in the Emirates Stadium to beat Arsenal | OneFootball

Arsenal have suffered back-to-back Premier League defeats for the first time this term following recent losses to Bournemouth and Manchester City.

The Gunners are back in action on Saturday when they host Newcastle United at Emirates Stadium, and Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is desperate for his team to return to winning ways.

The home supporters of the North London club will have to be less anxious if things do not go their way at times against the Magpies after a claim from Cherries star Tyler Adams.

Bournemouth secured a 2-1 victory over Arsenal earlier this month, and the American midfielder believes his side fed off the anxiety in the Emirates Stadium to beat the Gunners.

“I think you can tell early on, when they are trying to play out from the back, that there was a sense of nervousness,” Adams told Men in Blazers.

“The thing was, the team was playing well. Arsenal in the first five, ten minutes played some of the best football they did in that game, and you saw they were confident, but it just takes one little error, one little mistake, and the fans get a little bit nervy.

“That’s a difficult atmosphere to play in and thrive in when you are trying to chase a championship. Because we talk about them like they’re not sitting first in the table still. They are in complete control of everything.

“As an opposition it’s the best thing to hear. When you’re playing an away game and all of a sudden it feels like the momentum is swinging and it feels like a home game. At certain moments in the game I heard our fans celebrating or cheering and it was like: ‘why’s it so quiet in hear?’

“They are trying to chase a title, we are trying to chase potentially finishing in a European position, but it feels like we’re playing for a little bit more in the circumstances. I think it can be really difficult when you are in an environment like that.”

Arsenal fans want the Premier League title badly having last seen their team lift it in 2004.

However, they need to know how to support their players at home having also lost to Manchester United at Emirates this term.

Their nervousness when things do not go their team’s way in games does not help the players, and they have to find a way to ensure Arsenal win their remaining four home games of the season.
