Despite managing Arsenal for just two matches, the Swede boss has already attracted criticism, with a section of fans and pundits questioning if he is the right man for the job.

"100 per cent, otherwise I wouldn't be here. Of course it will be difficult. When confidence is low, it's low. We're going to work trying to get that back," he said when asked if he has what it takes to return the club to winning ways.
