Laurent Koscielny has laid bare the crisis of confidence at Arsenal and admitted the players’ self-belief will not return swiftly after Brighton inflicted the team’s fourth defeat in the space of 11 days. “We know we are in a bad situation, a bad period,” Arsenal’s captain said. We tried to fight and play football but you could see the confidence is very down. We know we need to win to have a little bit more confidence in us. “I think it has been difficult for everyone, maybe the first time for all of them,” Koscielny said.
