I am starting to doubt Mikel Arteta. Like many Gooners, I thought controversial Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta was onto something, and we were on the way to becoming champions of England and even possibly champions of Europe.

Now, I am not convinced at all after seeing Arteta and his team make mistake after mistake, along with a few dubious refereeing decisions.

After surprising the football world by finishing second behind a seemingly unstoppable Manchester City two seasons ago, Arsenal pushed the champions yet again last season.

Arteta's impressive team was on the up and could have won the Premier League last season, only to see a few poor results let them down.

Talk in the club was that Arteta and Arsenal's strategic plan was ahead of schedule. However, this season has raised a few eyebrows as The Gunners' form is letting them down, giving them only an outside chance of winning the title.

Liverpool look strong, Chelsea seem to be improving, Man City will always be there at the end of the season and even Nottingham Forest, who lured Edu away from his role at Arsenal, has put a cloud over the optimism I had at the start of the season.

Arteta should have brought in a striker like Ivan Toney, and he should have given young Ethan Nwaneri a start against Newcastle and possibly Inter (Everton gave a young Wayne Rooney his chance despite his age) with Arsenal's creative outlet Martin Ødegaard out injured.

The form table above scares me; even some of our wins weren't convincing. I hope I am wrong, but I think Arteta is struggling to succeed because of some poor decision-making.

Chelsea away this weekend will be challenging and accurately indicate what Arteta and his team are made of.
