Arsenal Women manager Jonas Eidevall is under pressure.

The Gunners have started the season in poor form and a 2-1 defeat to Chelsea has seen a further decline in support from their fanbase.

Normally, a loss to the Blues wouldn’t rock the boat too much given they’re Women’s Super League title challengers.

However, in a week where they had already drawn 0-0 with Everton and then lost 5-2 in the Champions League to Bayern Munich, it’s hit a lot harder.

During the loss at the Emirates against Chelsea, one supporter was seen in the crowd waving a P45 – a document received after leaving a workplace.

And now it appears tension has increased with graffiti appearing close to the stadium.

The words “Jonas out” have now been spotted on Hornsey Road as fan unrest grows.

Eidevall was unable to help turn a 2-1 half-time scoreline around despite Chelsea being forced to substitute goalscorer Mayra Ramirez and Lioness Lauren James.

A host of chances fell the way of the Gunners too but some sterling defensive work from their London rivals saw their attempts at a comeback repelled.

With a lack of goals a concern now for Arsenal, the decision to allow WSL record goalscorer Vivianne Miedema leave the club.

The Dutch striker joined title rivals Man City, scoring twice in five matches already, while against the Gunners on the opening day she showcased her versatility in deeper role.

Speaking about fan discontent after the loss to Chelsea, Eidevall said: “There is no point in hiding away from reality — it’s a bad start to the season.

“People are disappointed when we don’t win football matches, and we are also really disappointed. We are really hurting, I’m hurting, the players are hurting.

“We want to do better so I fully understand that (booing) in that moment. Just as you’re allowed to show emotions when we win, you’re allowed to show emotions when you lose.

“They (the supporters) invest everything. They travel, they support us, they give us absolutely everything. I totally understand their frustration when we don’t win football matches.”

At points in the game, Swedish coach Eidevall appeared to have intense discussions with Katie McCabe and Beth Mead.

Meanwhile, some players looked extremely upset after the loss too.

Eidevall now has a huge Champions League clash with Valerenga on Wednesday night at the Emirates before another London derby with West Ham United next weekend.
