Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane is still behind Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta.
The Gunners are enduring a miserable start to the season with two straight league losses - to Brentford and Chelsea.
Now they take on Manchester City next weekend, in a game that could already be a "must not lose" for Arteta to keep his job.
However, Keane believes there are other issues at play after the Gunnres' 2-0 loss at home to Chelsea on Sunday.
"I would give him longer, you have to give the manager longer," Keane said while working as a pundit for Sky Sports.
"We have seen it in Ole (Gunnar Solskjaer at Manchester United), he needed two or three years before he started to make progress.
"Jurgen Klopp was an established manager but it does take time. Arsenal have a lot of very good, young potential players but it is just potential.
"This is where you need your senior players to help the young kids along and I don't think Arsenal have the real, top senior quality players who have good habits that will help the young lads.
"There are players at Arsenal on massive wages and you can't shift them. They won't want to leave Arsenal because they are settled in London, they have a cushy life and you talk about clubs when we played, players were hungry and had a desire to win football matches week in, week out.
"But you have players here who probably the manager doesn't want nothing to do with, but the club can't shift them because they give out silly contracts."
