Former Sky Sports pundit Richards Keys has again criticised Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta for his touchline antics
Richards Keys has again lamented Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta for his touchline antics this season.
The north London outfit currently sit on top of the Premier League standings with just nine fixtures to go. But that hasn't stopped Arteta from receiving plenty of criticism from the outspoken Keys.
During the Gunners' 1-0 win over Chelsea back in November 2022, Arteta expressed his frustrations to the fourth official regarding a challenge from Blues striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang on Arsenal defender Ben White. Keys was less than impressed, writing on Twitter: "Why is this allowed every week @FA_PGMOL?
"Arteta has been jumping up & down all game - way outside his technical area. Potter is in his & 4th is watching. Do something about this man."
"The possibility is that he collides with a player and people get injured. There's a reason that the dugout is structured to be away from the pitch. He's also, at different times, has been on the halfway line or beyond. In the game against Newcastle he stood in front of Eddie Howe at one point.
"Well, that's not how it works. But there are rules for a reason, and the reason with the dugout being where it is, is for safety. So you stay in it. He certainly shouldn't be literally on that touchline and beyond, to a halfway line, and then in front of the opposition dugout.
"For large portions of games, I watch from a different angle to that which is seen at home by most viewers and it's just wrong. You would never find George Graham marching up and down touchlines like Arteta has often done.”
