JAKARTA - Unai Emery is under great pressure at Arsenal. The Gunners are now sitting in sixth place in the Premier League standings by winning only four matches out of 12 matches.
Last week's 0-2 defeat to Leicester City left Arsenal eight points clear of the Champions League zone. Not to mention, the difference of minus one goal that they suffer at this time is the first time since the 1982-1983 season.
The differences between Brendan Rodgers' side and Arsenal are clear at King Power Stadium, but this year's struggles is nothing new for the Gunners.
With that defeat the Gunners have lost in the Premier League in November to 34 games, more than in any other month in the competition.
With Arsenal's defense looking increasingly weak in the game, the responsibility on Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette's shoulders to keep shooting at the other end of the pitch also grew heavier.
Arsenal's poor record in November is truly a sight to behold. Bullet Warehouse troops not only lost more matches this month than any other month, but they also had the lowest win rate, 44 percent.
Arsenal are gaining an average of 1.6 points per game at a ratio of 1.5 goals per game - lower than any other month - while they conceded 1.2 goals per game, quite high.
To add to their frustration ahead of Saturday's clash against 19th-placed Southampton, Emery's side are winless in their last four Premier League games. This was their longest match without a win from May to August 2011 (6 matches).
The Bullet Warehouse team's worst run in a season came when they won five consecutive draws in 2009.
Given Southampton is struggling out of the relegation zone, it is not impossible for Arsenal to find another steep rock. The Premier League is famous for the tireless struggles of the teams from the middle to bottom. Especially if you are under pressure.
If Arsenal are still unable to recover from their slump, it may be time for club officials to decide on Emery's future. Don't keep it too long, considering that the fans' patience is more than enough.
Just to imitate Tottenham Hotspur who dared to fire Maouricio Pochettino. Arsenal must act decisively so that the fast for the Premier League title for 19 years can be ended. If you keep the former Sevilla and PSG coaches, the Gunners will never really understand how to achieve their dreams.
