Gary Neville can’t believe Mikel Arteta is still in charge of Arsenal despite five years without a trophy.
“I think it’s a massive achievement, coming into 2025 to go five years without a trophy and still be the manager of a top club with no pressure on them, not from us, not from anyone in the football community, not from anyone in the Arsenal fan base. “
That’s an unbelievable โปรโมชั่นพิเศษจาก UFABET สมัครตอนนี้ รับโบนัสทันที achievement because we thought that era where we could be so patient was over. “
I think it’s positive because normally when you don’t win anything for five years you see managers under pressure. And that’s the key thing is that you think there’s been an improvement. “
I was delighted on Friday when Mikel Arteta said in his press conference that they had regressed in the Premier League because they made us feel a little bit better with the Champions League and that took the pressure off them from the bad performance in the Premier League. “
Neville did, however, express concerns about squad depth—particularly in attack. Arsenal’s Champions League exit saw Mikel Merino, a midfielder. Forced to play as a false nine due to injuries to Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus.
“They’ve left themselves woefully short up top,” Neville said. “They’ve spent £750m and signed one striker in seven seasons. That’s ridiculous. Whether it’s Arteta or the club’s decision, that situation needs to be addressed.”
They were 13 or 14 points down on last season and the season before.
