Merino opens up on one game that forced a players only meeting

Mikel Merino has revealed details of a meeting Arsenal’s players held after drawing against Wolves in the Premier League last season. The result left the Gunners frustrated, with the squad recognising the importance of avoiding further dropped points against struggling opponents.

Wolves spent much of the campaign at the bottom of the Premier League table and were eventually relegated. Despite their difficulties, they managed to hold Arsenal to a draw, prompting concerns among the Gunners’ players about their ability to win the title.

Arsenal would drop points in other matches, but the meeting proved valuable in addressing the team’s response to adversity. They eventually secured the title despite suffering late defeats against Bournemouth and Manchester City.
