Arteta is trying too hard to impress & entertain’ – Merson wants Arsenal substance over style

The former Gunners midfielder is not expecting a derby victory to be secured over Chelsea, with those at Emirates Stadium stuck in a rut

Mikel Arteta is trying too hard to impress and entertain at Arsenal, says Paul Merson, with the under-fire Spaniard urged to rein in his ambition and make the Gunners harder to beat.

The north London outfit have become far too easy to swat aside this season, with eight defeats suffered through 14 Premier League outfits.

Having become stuck in a serious rut, Arsenal find themselves languishing just four points above the relegation zone.
