Jorginho 'furious' with Arsenal teammates as angry moment spotted in Nottingham Forest defeat

Former Chelsea and Everton winger Pat Nevin took note of Jorginho's frustrations with his teammates during Arsenal's defeat to Nottingham Forest.

The Gunners suffered their second consecutive league defeat against Forest on Saturday afternoon.

Taiwo Awoniyi's first-half trike was enough to see off Mikel Arteta's side, just days after they were outclassed by Brighton 3-0 at the Emirates.

The defeat also sealed Manchester City's Premier League title, with Pep Guardiola winning his third consecutive league trophy with three games to spare.

The manner in which Arsenal have conceded the title may seem unimaginable to many, with the players have seemingly run out of steam at the inopportune moment.

And it would appear Jorginho has had enough of his teammates, or at least that's the opinion of football pundit Nevin, who recalled the 31-year-old's behaviour on the pitch.

Jorginho 'furious' with Arsenal teammates

Speaking after the game, Nevin postulated that Jorginho is "getting upset with his teammates".

“Jorgingo is furious with his teammates," Nevin told BBC Sport (via Sportskeeda).

"He is getting so upset with his teammates. He feels like they should be playing a lot better. Despite being a relatively new player [to the group] he is still trying to drive standards and gee up his teammates."

Jorginho only arrived at the Emirates in January, signing from London rivals Chelsea on transfer deadline day in a deal worth £12 million.

The Italian was initially used as cover for Thomas Partey, but the Ghanaian's dip in form has seen Jorginho thrust into the spotlight, starting Arsenal's last four matches.

He looked to be a sensible addition to the squad considering his previous title-winning experience, lifting the Champions league trophy with Chelsea and winning Euro 2020 with Italy. However, further silverware with Arsenal wasn't to be.

Having only penned an 18-month contract with the Gunners, only time will tell whether he will extend his stay in north London or move onto pastures new.

Indeed, The potential addition of Declan Rice is likely to limit his chances. And based on Saturday's performance, he may need some persuading.
