Henry: It s normal for people to question Arsenal, they should at least win a trophy or make it to the finals

May 28th According to the Daily Mail, Henry talked about Arteta in an interview.

It is reported that Henry insists that Arteta should lead Arsenal to better results and compete for the trophy more effectively. The Gunners legend believes that fans have the right to question the head coach's ability after three straight seasons and no major trophy for five years. Arteta has indeed brought Arsenal back to the top ranks since taking over in December 2019, but he has won only one official match trophy, the FA Cup he won in his first season, and two Community Shields. The team missed the championship repeatedly, which put huge pressure on the Spaniards. Paul Merson even said Arteta could be fired if Arsenal fails to enter the Premier League title before Christmas. Now, Henry joined the discussion, noting that despite Manchester United's trough, they were still able to make it and win the finals.

Speaking of Arteta, Henry said: "I'm not saying I'm disappointed with Arsenal, but now people are starting to question the performance of the team. I understand that Arteta needs at least three or four transfer windows to build his team. It takes time, and you have to give the coach time to implement his plan. But in the past three years, Arsenal should have won at least one Cup title or reached one final. So I understand why people are asking, 'Don't you fight for the trophy?'"

There is no doubt that Arteta has had a huge impact on Arsenal. Before his arrival, the Gunners had missed the top four seasons for three consecutive seasons, but after some running-in, he led the team back to the top of the standings. Arteta cleared the problematic players in the locker room and convinced the players that they could compete for the highest honor. Arsenal have been close to winning the Premier League title in the past two seasons. They finished last season with 89 points, which is enough to win the championship this season.

This season, they eliminated Real Madrid 5-1 in the Champions League semi-finals. Despite some serious injuries, they still maintained their best defensive record and played a pleasing offensive football. However, the truth is that despite Manchester United's downturn, they have won the FA Cup and the British League Cup in the past five seasons and reached another FA Cup final and two UEFA Cup finals.

Carrag also believes Arteta is under pressure to win the trophy. Speaking about this, Carragher said: "This season should feel like it's their season, and there's no doubt that next season will be very stressful for Arteta because he has to win some important trophys. If they don't win the main trophy again, the board will face huge problems because they don't want to change head coaches, but there will be many people saying: There will be no trophy in five or six years."
