Former Arsenal caretaker manager Freddie Ljungberg says manager Mikel Arteta's playing style is too slow.

Ljungberg assessed his old club's issues on Sky Sports' Monday Night Football and was asked what they're doing wrong in attack.

He admitted it was tough for him to scrutinise Arsenal as Ljungberg said: “I'm not there and I can't say what they train and this and that so it's a bit sensitive."

However, he continued: “But for me, in general terms, it's just a little bit slow.

“If they could just go into general games, not just this game, with a bit of a higher passing tempo, go a bit quicker.

“You saw when they had success last season a few times, it went quite quick into Aubameyang and he opened up his legs, he had space to run in, so maybe passing a bit quicker.

“Then of course it depends how you setup the team. Arsenal, they played with a five, then only with two midfielders and that showed they couldn't have a creative midfielder in the team really because they were just working really hard in midfield.

“He's now changed to a back four and they will have a 10, I think Lacazette played that role yesterday, so I think he's trying to mix it up to have a bit of that creativity in the middle of the park.

“But as you see the stats don't really lie."
