Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard says he’s optimistic the Gunners can still win the Premier League title.
He made this known on the backdrop of the team’s 2-1 loss to Man City at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday, to reduce the Gunners’ points to three.
With the Citizens still having a game in hand to play on Wednesday, Odegaard, in a chat with Sky Sports, stated that Arsenal must focus on winning their remaining games.

“Disappointed not to win. Obviously we wanted to get a result and we were really up for it today. We played a good game, we pressed really well,” he said.
“Especially in the second half we looked dangerous, big moments in front of goal. Small margins to decide a game like this and we weren’t sharp enough in front of goal and that’s why we go home with nothing.
“That’s football at this level. It was always going to be like that. Very intense, very tough. Small margins. Frustrating but a lot of good things in the game from us. Now it’s about looking forward to the next game to bounce back.
“There’s always pressure always noise. That’s part of being a football player at this level. We’ll keep going, stay focused and look forward to the next game and move on. You have to live with that.”

Same old tired narrative. Ordegaard has never been the same for Arsenal since he got married.
He stopped scoring , and remained injured. How do you win EPL ?
Man City has Bournemouth and Villa still to play. I just hope the “deceit” of “remaining 3 games in UCL” will not distract us from winning the league.
Right now, I’m not even confident enough we can beat Fulham let alone Newcastle with the several “near miss” goals we are missing.
Pep should stop being hungry for once and let us win the league jor. Why should City like to imitate Bayern Munich?
