Former Arsenal forward Nwankwo Kanu has judged Mikel Arteta's time as Gunners boss and identified what the team must do to end the season strongly.
Arteta, who played for the North London club between 2011 and 2016, replaced Unai Emery in December after Arsenal slipped to a run of seven matches without a win under the Spaniard - their worst run without a victory since 1992.
Arsenal are currently 11th in the Premier League, ten points off the Champions League places, and host Newcastle on Sunday afternoon.
The Gunners are looking to extend an unbeaten run of seven matches in all competitions and Kanu is positive about Arteta's work at the helm so far.
"So far so good, I don’t think he is doing badly. Everybody loves him and he is trying to organise the team and also impose his own system,” the Nigeria legend told Goal.
“It’s always difficult when a new manager comes in because you want them (the players) to follow you in whatever you want to do.
“Sometimes some players might not understand what you are doing, and if you are lucky, everybody will be in the same direction."
Arsenal might be on an unbeaten run, but that includes draws in their last four league matches. However, Kanu believes the wins will come.
“If you look at the games they have played so far, there have been a lot of draws which I think is making the team steady and when he gets things rights, the results will come," he said.
“Whoever knows the Premier League knows that every team wants to win.
"Knowing where Arsenal are now and where they are coming from, a draw is better than losing games, however, the team must do better."
Victory over Newcastle will see the Gunners overtake Burnley in tenth position before they face Olympiacos on Thursday in the first leg of their Europa League round of 32 tie.
