BBC Sport
This article discusses the current state of Arsenal Women's Super League (WSL) team and the potential future of their manager, Renee Slegers.
Only five matches into the season, Arsenal finds themselves 10 points behind leaders Manchester City, occupying a disappointing 10th place in the WSL table. Their recent 4-2 defeat by City added to their struggles.

Key points:
- Slegers expresses optimism despite a disappointing start, attributing it to "perspective" and the upcoming international break.
- The Arsenal manager received a positive reception from fans at Manchester City's Etihad Stadium after the match.
- While some supporters are questioning Slegers' future, club sources insist she retains their full backing.
- There has been investment in the team during the transfer window, suggesting a commitment to turning things around under Slegers' leadership.
