Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno has opened up on what the Gunners must do after yet another defeat in the Premier League.

Bernd Leno has called on his Arsenal teammates to keep their heads up after another poor outing on the road.

The Gunners lost 2-1 to Everton on Saturday and sit 15th in the Premier League. After 14 games played so far, the North London side can only boast of 14 points.

In fact, Arsenal are without a win since November 1 when they beat Manchester United 1-0 at Old Trafford via a Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang penalty.

There are rumors of unrest in the Gunners dressing room based on recent reports. Despite the sour atmosphere at the club, Leno has backed his side to turn things around.

“Of course, there’s big disappointment, it hurts a lot,” the goalkeeper said as per the club’s website.

“It’s not the time to feel sorry for ourselves. We have to stick together, we have to stay positive and this is the only way because on Tuesday we have another big game. We have to win games to come out of this situation and have a positive mood again.”

“I think the second goal was probably the key because when you concede a goal right before half-time it’s always very difficult, especially in our situation. I think in the second half we showed good body language, good attitude, so you can see this team is alive and we want to turn the situation around.”

In the process, Leno also sent a message to his teammates.

“Now the confidence is not on the top level but the only thing that can be said is we should stick together and come out of this situation.”

“A lot of things are going wrong for us but we don’t have time to feel sorry for ourselves, we have to fight for every ball, for our teammates.”
