Mikel Arteta has been asked to give more time at Arsenal

Mikael Silvestre wants to give Arteta some more time.

The Gunners managed to pull off a 1-0 win against Norwich City in their last game.

Former Arsenal defender Mikael Silvestre believes that Mikel Arteta deserves more time and patience at the Emirates.

It will cost the club time and money if they sacked Arteta and another manager instead.

Silvestre said: “Everyone was wishing for Arsene [Wenger] to leave, but the question is do you give more time for Arteta to put this club together?

“We have to realise that the team and the squad wasn’t 100 per cent ready, there were injuries, Covid issues for the start of the season. There are a lot of things that need to be addressed quickly.

“I am always in favour of giving the manager more time. After the derby, then it will be time to assess if there was any progression.

“Forget the results, there should be some progress on the pitch if everyone is fit and ready in the starting XI. If there is no progress, then the question will be asked.”
