Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is reportedly facing a backlash from his players over not taking responsibility for the Gunners' poor season and blaming them instead. Senior squad members have reportedly began to voice their concerns over Arteta's tactical decisions and treatment of some players, according to The Sun. The club's woes have come to the point where some senior players are questioning Arteta's methods, such as leaving out players following a poor result. Aubameyang came on to assist for the Gunners' only goal, leading some players to reportedly question the wisdom of Arteta's decision. After drawing 1-1 against Slavia in the Europa League, Arteta said European football was a 'minimum' requirement and reminded his stars of his and their 'responsibility' to secure a place in continental competition.
