Arsenal under Mikel Arteta – not something Thierry Henry really believes in

Previous Premier League campaign was abysmal for Arsenal – the club failed to qualify for any of the European competitions for the first time after 25 years with more than unstable performances. The new season is strange as Arsenal fans are not sure what to expect.The Gunners lost their first three Premier League games of the season in a row under Mikel 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 what is for sure is that the style and the energy Arsenal project are not that interesting or reassuring, leaving the supporters unconvinced.One of those supporters who are not sure if this is the proper path for Arsenal is the club legend Thierry Henry.##NAJAVA_MECA_5890912##The quick-footed French maestro recorded 376 appearances for Arsenal in all competitions, scored 228 goals and collected 105 assist and was one of the main reasons the Gunners were a force to be reckoned with during 2000s.Henry has been watching how his former club is doing and is he is not impressed. You could say he is even a bit ‘frightened’.“I don’t know if things are going in the right direction. I watched the Brighton game. Did you watch it?” he asked when speaking at the Prime Video Presents Sport 2021 showcase event.“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.🎩 HENRY – MAGIC SKILLS 🎩#henry #arsenal #fcb #francia #skills #football pic.twitter.com/AmXWJb4rzi— retrobalon_football (@retrobalon) October 4, 2021 “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.”Arsenal at the moment are far from what Henry is used to when he wore the red and white in north London. During his tenure at Arsenal’s former ground, Highbury, Henry helped the club win 2 Premier League trophies, 3 FA Cups, 2 Community Shields and reach the Champions League final in 2006.
