David Seaman highlights Arsenal’s biggest problem

Arsenal has a problem with consistency according to David Seaman.

Mikel Arteta has won the FA Cup and the Community Shield within the first year of becoming the club’s manager.

David Seaman feels bad for Arteta as he was given a set of players that other managers before him signed.

He needs his own choice of player to make any significant changes to the squad as Arsenal finished a disappointing eighth last season.

‘When you look at last season, finishing eighth, it’s very disappointing,’ Seaman says via Mail Sport.

‘It’s something that needs to be changed. I feel a little bit sorry for (Mikel) Arteta because he’s not got his own team yet, or his own squad.

‘He’s inherited players from previous managers. But he’s got to coach those around him to get the best out of them. We saw with winning the FA Cup and then the Community Shield, I would call those bonuses, because that season wasn’t very good either. It’s the consistency that’s the problem.

‘All of a sudden we beat Liverpool and Chelsea, then we lost to lower teams. That’s his biggest problem. Do we need players? Yes we do. I still feel that the spine of the team isn’t strong enough.

‘They need a good defender and midfield player. We need a more consistent attacking player. In (Pierre-Emerick) Aubameyang, we do have a quality player. Last season, with all the different problems that he had, he wasn’t consistent enough. But you know the quality he’s got, so you don’t really change that.

‘(Thomas) Partey in midfield has done well, I like what I see with him. I want to see a more consistent season from him and hopefully that’s going to happen next year.’
