Arsenal Women’s manager Renée Slegers is facing increased scrutiny following a difficult run of form that has seen the team secure only one victory in their last five matches. The recent struggles include a disappointing draw against Paris FC in the Women’s Champions League, where the team surrendered a two-goal advantage, and a lack of offensive production in the Women’s Super League (WSL), where they have managed only one goal in their previous three fixtures.

Despite these results, Slegers stated on Friday that she feels fully supported by the Arsenal hierarchy. She also credited the team's senior players for demonstrating what she described as "monumental leadership" during a challenging week for the squad. The team currently sits seven points behind Manchester City in the WSL standings, making the upcoming match against the defending champions a pivotal moment for the club’s season.

Slegers remains focused on identifying tactical solutions to the team's recent scoring drought and defensive lapses. While the pressure on the manager is mounting due to the team's position in the table and recent Champions League performance, Slegers expressed a determined outlook as the squad prepares for the trip to Manchester.
