How can the Gunners get back on track?

Well, the season has been awful so far. The Gunners have only collected 7 points from 7 matches, scoring 10 goals, but notably, letting in 16.

But, nothing prepares you for the fear of watching me beloved Arsenal defend!

Gunners’ town’s articles of the week

Where else can I start other than saying... "Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh". Yes, for any Arsenal fan there’s not much to write home about at the moment, certainly not in a positive light.
