Thierry Henry unsure Arsenal are going in the ‘right direction’ under Mikel Arteta

Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has questioned whether things are going in “the right direction” under current boss Mikel Arteta.

The Gunners lost their first three Premier League games of the season in a row under Arteta, but they have bounced back since.

They have taken 10 points from their last four League matches, a sequence which included a victory over Tottenham in the north London derby.

But, speaking at the Prime Video Presents Sport 2021 showcase event, Henry said: “I don’t know if things are going in the right direction. I watched the Brighton game. Did you watch it?

“I’ve seen us beating Norwich before, winning at Burnley, beating Tottenham at home - because we always beat Tottenham at home.

“I was more than happy when we beat Tottenham as we were on a good run but I was waiting to see a performance, away from home, against a team that passes the ball.

“And, instead, we suffered.

“I was waiting to see the Brighton game, to see if we could have the ball and keep the ball, away from home, retaining possession, against a dangerous Brighton side.

“When we used to lose, even after I left the team, it was always said that Arsenal don’t have a Plan B and that they passed too much for the sake of passing.

“But I didn’t see that from Arsenal in the Brighton match. I saw Brighton do that.”
