Soccer-Hope in short supply for Arsenal

There have been some tough times for Arsenal since Arsene Wenger ended his long reign as manager in 2018 but there was always something to cling to for the fans, a glimmer of hope despite the nagging sense of decline.

But after Thursday's demoralising Europa League semi-final exit against Villarreal turned the lights out on Arsenal's season, hope is a commodity in extremely short supply. The long-running chorus of discontent against American owner Stan Kroenke grows louder with protests before Thursday night's semi-final.

If that was a step in the right direction, the following nine months have seen Arsenal take several back. Arteta remains confident that in the likes of Saka, Emile Smith-Rowe and Kieran Tierney, Arsenal can be optimistic."But as well they need the right surroundings around for them to grow, without putting too much pressure on them."
