'Attitude is bad, discipline is lacking & no self-confidence' - Leno delivers stinging verdict on Arsenal

Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno has delivered a harsh verdict on his side's current state, saying they are lacking in discipline, attitude and self-confidence.

The Gunners managed to draw Southampton 1-1 on Wednesday, ending a run of three straight Premier League defeats.

But Arsenal still ended the match in 15th place and with just 14 points from their first 13 Premier League games this season, their lowest tally at this stage of a top-flight campaign since 1974-75.
