You know what, I respect Thierry Henry...but I would like to see him placed in Arteta's position and with the circumstances to see how well he does. Yes the club needs accountability, but quit mouthing off when you don't have anything to show for it either.
I can see where he's coming from. We all want the best for our club and his words have some merit. It feels pretty damning that our last trophy was an FA cup 4-5 years ago and the likes of cheslkie and Spurs have claimed some form of silverware (albeit they had an easy time of it).
But, it's been a tough road since Arteta took over that I think has navigated really well. Look how much manager turn over other clubs have had with similar issues. How many pundits have compared the success of Arsenal under Arteta to that of United, Chelsea, Spurs, etc.
It's largely because of City being the behemoth they were that we missed out on the PL trophy twice. We have also been our own worst enemy at times for sure.
If anything, I feel like the club maybe let Arteta down and not financed the players we needed to remain competitive over an entire season. But, we also don't know how much is the club and how much is Arteta only wanting to bring in a specific type of player and not just jumping on any horse out of the stable.
