‘Arsenal haven’t kicked old habit under Arteta’ – Gunners great Adams sees another ‘massive error’

A change in the dugout may have been made at Emirates Stadium, but their legendary former captain remains concerned by defensive deficiencies

Arsenal are yet to kick an “old habit” despite appointing Mikel Arteta as their new boss, says Tony Adams, with defensive frailties continuing to hold the club back.

The Gunners sprung plenty of leaks towards the end of Arsene Wenger’s reign and throughout the tenure of Unai Emery.

It is becoming apparent to the man currently calling the shots that there is no quick fix to be found at Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal have, with Arteta taking on his first managerial role, collected just one point from two games at the start of another new era.
