Mikel Arteta is making the same mistakes as his Emirates predecessor, Unai Emery, according to Martin Keown.
The former Gunners defender was unimpressed after the north London club lost 1-0 at home to Leicester City on Sunday.
Arsenal are now 10th in the Premier League after winner Jamie Vardy condemned them to their third loss of the season, on a night where they struggled to create something remarkable in the final third.
Since Arteta took the reins at the Emirates in December last year, he has made big changes to the team he inherited, yet Keown, who played 332 games for the club, believes Artta has played too much with his team lately.
Emery, who was named Arsenal manager in 2018 was fired after 18 months, often received the same criticism for making too many changes and Keown urges Arteta to learn from those mistakes, rather than repeat them.
“They keep switching from one system to another and they did it with Emery,” Keown told the Stadium Astro.
“If you keep changing it, you can’t find a rhythm, and that’s something I found in a very successful team.
“It was like putting on an old pair of sneakers for a game. Everything was there. You’d shoot Patrick Vieira into midfield, Dennis Bergkamp, (Thierry) Henry into the channel; it was three passes.
“These players are now getting the ball and it’s getting a bit stuck, so I think keep it simple and start building from this team. If this is the way he wants to play, stick with it and try to get people involved and get the messages correct and work on it.
“It was very static, the three forwards never really moved from their positions, they weren’t available.”
Arteta is off to a great start to his coaching career at Arsenal, winning the FA Cup last season and securing the Community Shield in August and Keown believes he is the right man to continue to carry the club forward as long as he can quickly recover from. the setbacks. .
‘This is a completely new project for the manager. We don’t want to be overly critical. ‘ “I think he’s the right man for the job 100 percent, a super bright manager and he’s going to have setbacks, this is how he responds to this now.”
