The loss to Everton, their eighth in 14 games this season, leaves Arsenal in 15th place and four points above the relegation zone with Chelsea leading the league.

Yet another defeat will leave the Arsenal hierarchy with even more questions to answer, just over a year since Arteta’s appointment.

Agbonlahor thinks it is clear that some players have already made a decision about Arteta; namely Nicolas Pepe and Alexandre Lacazette.

Agbonlahor told talkSPORT: “” When does it start to be embarrassing to stay with Arteta? It could get to a point where they might have to get rid of it.

“It’s one thing if you’re wrong in your tactics, but if you can’t get the players to work and run for you, then your time is up.”

He added: “You have some important characters in that dressing room – [Mesut] Ozil, [Pierre-Emerick] Aubameyang, David Luiz. I imagine that David Luiz has a lot to say in that dressing room: the things he has won in the game, the career he has had.

“I think he lost the dressing room. I can tell from Nicolas Pepe’s body language when he came out that he doesn’t have a coach. Alexandre Lacazette when he comes in for 15 minutes, you can tell he doesn’t have a coach.

“When I look at him I feel sorry for Arteta because he came in, he did well with the team, he won a trophy and now with these results the players are not running for him.

“You see him animated to the side, he is trying to motivate them … he is doing everything possible. But these players, they have done it to the previous coaches and they will do the same to him, they will throw the bus and wait for the next one to come. manager “.

Arsenal’s next game is Tuesday’s EFL Cup quarter-finals at home to Manchester City.
