Mikel Arteta says he is having to deal with 'unheard of' changes to his squad as part of Arsenal's owner-led 'project' - but the under-fire boss knows he needs to produce immediate results.

The Gunners are bottom of the Premier League with zero points ahead of Saturday's visit of Norwich.
They were the country's biggest spenders with over £150million invested this summer, a policy that involves targeting players aged under 23.

In the last year Arsenal have now brought in 10 new signings and sold or released 21 players.
And Arteta said: 'It is a completely different squad with those numbers, it is unheard of. Now we have to make it work. We have to glide it together, build relationships, chemistry, understanding. We have to adapt and do that really quickly.
'The amount of changes in two years is almost 30 players. We are all participating, trying to build this project, obviously led by the owners.
'It is a project we believe in and have to assemble, because we believe it is the best option for the future of the club. We all take responsibility. We are all involved in the decision. Now we have to make it work.
'The complexity in football is that you want to build a medium-to-long-term project, with immediate results. We have to embrace that. There is no other way in football.'
Arsenal's disastrous start to the season has not been aided by Covid-19 and injury problems, as well as some shambolic defending.
And Arteta added: 'You have to earn the right to win. In the last few games, we have done basic things that haven't allowed us to compete.
'We are getting judged on every result we have. We don't want to use any excuse, but looking back on the past few weeks, with a bit of perspective, it's been a lot (to deal with).
'So it needs a bit of perspective, but we are willing and determined to change it as soon as possible. We have to reset now. We have to get everybody back on track and start to win football games.'
Ainsley Maitland-Niles is one player staying at Arsenal after talks with Arteta, who said: 'I am happy he has stayed, that was our intention.
'We put on the table our feelings what we have to do. He has embraced the opportunity and the chance.
'He knows he has a unique quality in any squad, which is his versatility to play in many positions. He needs to become the best at doing that. It is rare to find in football.'

let players play in their right position rather than upsetting them in different positions if you continue like this there will be no positive result

You forgot when u won the FA cup and Community shield with Arteta. What has Man-u won under Ole? U guys should give him time. Finishing 8th is not a good position but atleast He has given u guys something
the problem is..we are still going down..there is no sign of improvement..and soon players will not play for him...the players are divided...xo hw cn u expect the team to perfom undr this atmosphere?

All of these changes Arteta is talking about. If you look at the starting lineup it’s essentially the same as last year except for right back and maybe you could consider Partey. Otherwise it’s the same team that struggled to finish 8th. I don’t see this as unprecedented changes. I don’t think this guy knows what the hell he’s talking about.

Arsenal fans that are condemning Arteta you guys are insane am not an Arsenal fan but I know It's not easy for Artete, About Five of his good players are out due to Injury or illness. I agree that Arsenal been 20th is not a good result but it is just 3 games played, we still have 33 more games to play and luckily for Arsenal they have played 2 of the big teams already (Chelsea and mancity) unlike Man-u who has not yet played any big teams yet. Everybody knows Arsenal will Definitely Bounce back and finish in the Top 10. So u guys should stop Condemning Arteta. the Same thing happened to Liverpool last season when they lost 3 whole games at home but nobody said Klopp should go so why is Arteta's turn different? it's not easy to lose your star players and still progress. So Arsenal fans u guys should give Arteta time atleast in ur last four seasons u guys have won some Trophies unlike man United. So u guys should Encourage Arteta not condemn him

Wenger should be sued for saying that. he is failing to realise that the club started loosing its taste when his tenure was coming to an end. Arteta be careful also because it's the same mess you are in

Let's not talk trash; Liverpool weren't in this position too until Brendan Rodgers and after him Jürgen Klopp came in.. Similar examples are endless so to speak..

,Arteta you are not serious because last would be a lesson to you by leaded Arsenal to 8 on table. what stopped you not to prepare and buying a classic players in time and enabled them to train . your style of training is too weak there was no proper drills , running and playing football on training grounds

By unheard of changes , you mean throwing out your best playmaker(ozil),the future of midfield (willock),(guendouzi),copa winner Martinez,Saliba (who didn't get a chance in arsenal but is flourishing at marseille)/ so that you can play xhaka(walking red card),Pablo mari(headless defender),socrates(I dont even understand why he played man city),and brain dead Elneny.
