3 reasons why Mikel Arteta is not the right man for Arsenal

#2 Players need a manager they can respect

Arsenal FC v Manchester City - Premier League

It’s no industry secret that this current crop of Arsenal players has an attitude problem. Many a rumour has surfaced portraying the more senior players to be causing havoc behind the scenes. That has been shown through alleged disputes with managers and players declaring themselves as ill on a regular basis. Let’s face it, this is a squad that effectively ran Emery out of power and are now disgracing the ever so loveable Swede.

This is a squad that needs love but also a figure they can respect and fear. Arsène Wenger’s fatherly love approach made players love him, but sometimes they took that for granted, as could be seen through the actions of Mesut Özil and Alexis Sánchez. This squad needs a manager that will leave players on the bench and out the squad if he deems them not worthy, regardless of how much money they’re on.
