It says much about Arsenal’s predicament that the team who have conceded 12 in two games are not the side whose manager is under most pressure before a north London derby. Tottenham, four points above their neighbours before Saturday’s meeting, may have been humbled in consecutive Women’s Super League matches – but all eyes are on Renée Slegers.
Arsenal are winless in five WSL matches for the first time, and the most decorated club in English women’s football desperately need a turning point. Their failure to beat Birmingham City at home last Saturday, dropping points against a promoted side for the second time this season, again demonstrated the team’s inability to convert possession into goals. They increasingly look like a team stuck in Groundhog Day.
