Arsenal hero Robert Pires has branded the current team as "sick".
Pires made the claim after Sunday's 2-2 draw at Norwich City.
"This was a complicated and difficult game, stressful even sometimes," Pires told Canal Plus.
"The bottom line is that the team is still sick.
"Freddie or someone else, they are going to have find the right medicine.
"They are going to have to be patient but this is a little bit what has been happening since the start of the season.
"We are weak, we are not calm. When you are lacking confidence, you take less responsibility. You try fewer things.
"I think going forward things look very good, but defensively, and Freddie knows this, with Per (Mertesacker), a lot of work is required."
