Keown explained that it's essential for Arsenal to win a trophy this season. He mentioned that the team has made progress, reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League last year, but still hasn't won a trophy. He noted that other teams like Newcastle and Crystal Palace have won trophies in recent years, and Arsenal need to follow suit.
Keown believes that Arsenal will challenge for a trophy this season, but the fans will expect a title. He compared Arteta's situation to the time of former manager Arsene Wenger, who won a trophy after years of trying. Keown thinks Arteta is still progressing and needs to focus on being positive, rather than making excuses.
Keown also mentioned that luck plays a role in football, and even champions need a bit of luck. He encouraged Arteta to take things one step at a time and focus on making progress.
