Arsenal have had a poor performance that has seen them languish in mid-table.
With just eight games left to play, Arsenal is eleventh on the premier league table and their next match is against Sheffield United.
After winning the FA Cup, Community Shield and making a fine start to this season, Arsenal are having a hard time and was expected to be in a better position at this stage of the campaign.
Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta’s side is clearly underachieving and Heckingbottom agrees with that assessment, but he says they deserve to be where they are because of the efforts they have put into the season.
“You can say that but we are at the stage of the season where you are where you deserve to be,” he said via Football London, when asked if Arsenal were underachieving.
“You have seen in their games they can really open you up there have been questions, there are moments when they can blow teams away, we have to try and make them not be that good and play on the back foot while keeping an eye on those players they have who can produce a bit of magic and take a game away from you.”
Sheffield United is almost certain to get relegated and Arsenal cannot afford not to beat them when both teams meet on Sunday 11 2021.
