Mikel Arteta's start to the season could not have been much worse, with Arsenal losing their opening two matches of the campaign.
The Gunners have been beaten 2-0 in both of their two games so far in the Premier League, against Brentford and Chelsea.
While there isn't exactly a lot of shame in losing to the reigning champions of Europe, the manner of how they were beaten by Brentford is one that concerned supporters.
Rather inevitably, Arteta has come under huge pressure from the Arsenal fan base following the back-to-back defeats, with a trip to the Premier League champions Manchester City on the horizon.
Brendan Rodgers, who has been manager of Leicester City since taking over from Celtic in 2019, has now been backed by TV presenter Richard Keys to take over from Arteta and sort out the "mess" at the Emirates Stadium.
Speaking on his blog, Keys said : “I said last week that I was encouraged by the attitude of so many teams on the opening day. I’ll say it again – it’s been a great start. It’s so refreshing to see teams going hell for leather to win games.
“Chelsea epitomised that attitude at Arsenal. They wanted to win – so they got on the front foot – and swept Arsenal away. What did Arteta’s team have by way of a reply? Nothing.
“Absolutely nothing – apart from one tippy-tappy spell of possession in the second half, when it was all too late. The game has moved on guys. Thank goodness.
“The next man in at Arsenal will have to recognise that. What a mess they’re in. What exactly is Arteta trying to achieve? Regulars know my view – he was the wrong choice. It was always going to be too big a job for him.
“I accept that he hasn’t had much help from people around him – but at the end of the day – it’s his neck on the line. If they lose at West Brom and City this week, he’ll be lucky to survive. My choice to replace him? Brendan Rodgers.”
Rodgers, formerly of Liverpool, has done a great job since taking over at the King Power Stadium around two years ago.
The Northern Irishman has changed the Foxes' style of play and has made them one of the most entertaining, attacking sides to watch in the Premier League.
For the past two seasons, Leicester have narrowly missed out on a Champions League place.
