LIVERPOOL, England -- As first anniversaries go, Mikel Arteta could definitely have asked for a better way to mark one year in charge of Arsenal. Yet all he got on Saturday was a seventh defeat in 10 Premier League games and a run of results that marks the club's worst start to a season for 46 years.
The Spaniard may have guided the Gunners to FA Cup glory last season, but that piece of silverware is now long forgotten by the club's supporters, who greeted the 2-1 defeat at Everton with a torrent of social media demands for the 38-year-old to be sacked.
