Mikel Arteta’s time at the helm of Arsenal has rarely been free of criticism.
Following the departure of Unai Emery in November 2019, the appointment of a young coach who'd worked alongside Pep Guardiola had fans excited at the prospect of the glory days returning to the club, yet nearly two years later the fanbase is divided on whether Arteta really is the right man to conduct the monumental rebuild needed at the Emirates Stadium.
Whatever your thoughts on the Spaniard might be, he's undoubtedly had some great moments during his time as Arsenal boss, with the team's FA Cup final victory over London rivals Chelsea perhaps the pick of the bunch.
Arteta clocked up his 50th win as Arsenal boss recently and you may be surprised to hear he reached the milestone faster than the Gunners' greatest ever boss Arsene Wenger.
Nevertheless, doubts remain over whether he's the right man for the job, and The Arsenal Way team members Tom Canton, Chris Davison and Bailey Keogh took time to reflect on Arteta's time as manager during a recent edition of The Arsenal Agenda.
Keogh kickstarted the discussion by claiming that Arteta’s reign has perhaps been judged too prematurely.
“I think nowadays the managerial job is like fast food - if you don’t perform then you are gone. Back in the day when Arsene Wenger was manager, there was more time given.
"Arsene Wenger changed the culture at the club so he was allowed to be given more time.”
Keogh continued by claiming that Arteta has had high points during his Arsenal tenure but the club's lack of consistency has continued to hamper their progress.
“He's had great moments that have kept him in the job, I remember against Manchester United and winning the FA Cup against Chelsea.
“So he's had these moments but there are too many dips as poor results follow the good ones and it kills the momentum. I think with Arteta if he can maintain consistency in his managerial role then he will be fine.
