'Just need patience' - fans defend Arsenal's season

Sam: The fact that despite all the injuries, suspensions and problems faced we are still second - albeit 12 points back - in the Premier League and in the Champions League quarter-finals. Not every team can win everything every year, but we are on the verge and it's being ruined by people having a go because we've lost a few games, are going through an injury crisis while another team is having an incredible season. Nigel: We seem to be talking a lot about the need for a striker but this summer we could end up losing Jorginho and Thomas Partey - two highly experienced and reliable players that will seriously deplete the team as there are no natural replacements currently.
