Mikel Arteta has been falling under ever-increasing pressure at Arsenal, with the Gunners currently bottom of the Premier League table, but Mikael Silvestre has warned that parting with another manager will cost the club valuable time and money.

Questions are being asked of how long Arteta will be sticking around on the back of a pointless and goalless start to the 2021-22 campaign from a beleaguered north London outfit.

Silvestre concedes that there will come a time for big decisions to be made, potentially after a derby date with Tottenham on September 26, but hopes patience will be shown with a man that has delivered FA Cup glory at Emirates Stadium and been backed in the transfer market.



Former Arsenal defender Silvestre, speaking in association with BettingExpert, told Goal of Arteta's precarious situation: "Everyone was wishing for Arsene [Wenger] to leave, but the question is do you give more time for Arteta to put this club together?

"We have to realise that the team and the squad wasn't 100 per cent ready, there were injuries, Covid issues for the start of the season. There are a lot of things that need to be addressed quickly.

"I am always in favour of giving the manager more time. After the derby, then it will be time to assess if there was any progression.

"Forget the results, there should be some progress on the pitch if everyone is fit and ready in the starting XI. If there is no progress, then the question will be asked."

Sack the terrorist.

I was always pro-sacking of Arteta but after the emotions have settled, once can adduce a lot of the failings to mitigating circumstances.
