After disastrously failing as a manager himself, Paul Scholes has some advice for Mikel Arteta.
“I think the key to Arsenal is the front three players, look at Manchester United the same,” Scholes told Premier League Productions.
“I think if he keeps Aubameyang, Lacazette and Ozil fit, I think they’re three quality players.
“It’s just has he got the quality in behind them? Defensively has always been Arsenal’s problem and I think that’s the first thing he needs to do, try and sure up that defence.”
Arteta for his part seemed very upbeat.
“It will be a process,” Arteta said.
I was worried what would happen if we conceded a goal. We did and I was very pleased with the character they showed.
“They came in at half-time and their faces, their reactions [were spot on]. It was about how much they wanted it.
“Normally, when you are in this process and you concede a goal, the confidence goes down and a lot of things that have happened in the past can come back.
“It didn’t happen, it happened in the complete opposite sense and that’s a really positive thing to take on board.”
Arteta also reserved special praise for Ozil.
“To be fair his attitude in training since the day that I walked in the building has been incredible. I’ve seen this,” he added.
“I’ve said that I was going to give a clean slate to everybody and it was fair to give it to him.
“When we did the game preparation and were watching the opponents, where we could hurt them, we believed that he could be a key point.
