Merson: The Gunners used to be a "running team", but now they are a strong team&&; thanks to Arteta

Hupu News on October 29th, Paul Merson talked about his views on Arsenal in an interview with Sky Sports. He said Arteta would not be sacked even if Arsenal failed to win any titles this season.

Merson said: "It all depends on how things develop, doesn't it? I mean, let's say the Gunners end up with more than 90 points, but only narrowly miss out on the championship - when the team can get 90 points, you will think, 'Honestly, what else can you ask them to do?'"

"Another example is the Champions League. The team may have reached the finals or semi-finals, but suddenly the goalkeeper makes a mistake, the opponent scores a goal alone, or even the referee sends off one's own players. There are many ways to lose, and the reasons for missing out on the championship and losing the game are also different."

"People all Forget, Arsenal was just a running team five years ago. At that time, they had no hope of competing for the championship at the beginning of the season, and they were even struggling to compete for the top four and qualify for the Champions League. Now, Arsenal is one of the top teams in the Premier League, and this is all thanks to Arteta."

"Arteta's work at Arsenal has been remarkable: he has built a competitive team, works well with any sporting director he works with, and has quietly built a balanced squad - the Gunners now have two quality players to choose from in every position."
