Former Arsenal midfielder Paul Merson has insisted that Monday night's 3-1 comeback win over West Ham doesn't paper over the cracks at the club.
Having trailed 1-0 to the Hammers at half-time, a second-half treble from Gabriel Martinelli, Nicolas Pepe and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang secured a first win nine matches across all competitions on Monday night.
It was a first victory for Freddie Ljungberg too, having taken the reigns on an interim basis since Unai Emery's departure.
Following Chelsea's recent dip in form, Arsenal are only seven points away from the top four and a return to Champions League football.
However, despite the win lifting Arsenal up to ninth in the Premier League table, Merson has insisted he still feels disillusioned with the long-term strategy at the club.
With mixed reports still circulating about different potential successors to Emery, the Gunners are in a period of uncertainty, at the moment.
"Arsenal's win at West Ham papered over huge cracks at the club. Don't let the late turnaround fool you, Arsenal are heading nowhere," Merson told Sky Sports.
"I've never seen a game like it. It comes back to the same old thing - confidence, confidence, confidence.
"It sums up the situations Arsenal find themselves in at the moment, and West Ham for that matter.
"If you're not winning football matches your confidence goes, it's the worst feeling in the world. It doesn't matter how good you are as a player, when the confidence goes, that's it.
"When Arsenal turned to Freddie Ljungberg, they wanted him to come in and steady the ship.
"They would have thought 'we're not going anywhere, we're not going to get relegated and we can save a few quid'.
"But, all of a sudden, a couple of dodgy performances and it's panic stations.
"I just don't know where they go next."
