Rwanda president Paul Kagame, whose country are sponsors of Arsenal, was quick to express his unhappiness. And called for a plan that can change the club’s fortunes.

Kagame insists that Arsenal must not accept mediocrity. And they need to build a team capable of winning games on a regular basis.

“What?? It’s football, it’s a loss of Arsenal at/to Brentford. Brentford deserved to win and they did.” Kagame wrote on Twitter. 

What?? It's football,it's a loss of Arsenal at/to Brentford. Brentford deserved to win and they did. The game itself aside Arsenal and the fans don't deserve to kind of get used to this….NO !!! I say this as one of the big fans of Arsenal. The change has taken to long to come!

It's been a struggle of about decade(s) -ups&downs-more downs until this point. Can't we have a plan that really works?? One part to look at is how we deal in the market- players we buy to execute the plan. The touch&go mentality does not bring change.

We just must NOT excuse or Accept mediocrity. A team has to be built with purpose to win win win. So that when we lose….it was not to be expected! I am sure we all know on whose shoulders the heaviest burden rests. I hope they know too or even accept it!!! End

Arsenal were in poor form and struggled to live with an energetic Brentford outfit, recording a result which now puts big pressure on ahead of clashes against Chelsea and Manchester City.

The Gunners failed to qualify for any form of European competition last term and as a result can focus fully on domestic matters this season.
