Mikel Arteta has backed Chelsea boss Frank Lampard to get Chelsea out of their slump.
Arsenal and Chelsea both took the same route of appointing former players as managers and while Arteta has managed to overcome his slump, Lampard might not be so lucky with his charges at Chelsea.
A sacking is very much on the cards but Arteta, has shown empathy and trust in his fellow manager.
“I have known Frank for a few years, and I spent some time with him, and I would like the club to support him and give him a chance,” he told Reuters.
“He has huge experience as a player – he is an icon over there. He has done some really good things. You need time, and something we have not had in this calendar year is time to work on anything.
“I can only talk about what I have experienced. What I have experienced, it was full support in difficult times.
“The work you are doing behind the scenes, the methods you apply, the values you are trying to restore at the club, and the style you are trying to implement needs the support of results.”
