Slegers: Arsenal not in title conversation and in need of a review

Arsenal manager Renee Slegers stated that her team is currently not in the Women's Super League title conversation following a 4-2 loss to Manchester City. Arsenal held the lead twice during Sunday's match at the Etihad Stadium before Manchester City mounted a late comeback. The defeat leaves Arsenal in 10th place and 10 points behind league leaders City, marking the Gunners' worst start to a WSL campaign since 2014.

Slegers announced plans to conduct a comprehensive review of all aspects of the team during the upcoming international break. The loss follows a midweek Champions League match where Arsenal surrendered a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 against Paris FC. Despite the setback, Manchester City manager Andree Jeglertz expressed confidence that Arsenal remain a strong side and will compete near the top by spring.
