Freddie Ljungberg took charge of his first game for Arsenal in the 2-2 draw against Norwich, but he failed to convince fans that he has what it takes to take on the role of manager on a permanent basis.
Arsenal looked good in spells but relied on two goals from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and some brilliant saves from Bernd Leno to salvage a draw against a team in the relegation zone.
The decision to recall Mesut Ozil and Granit Xhaka to the side didn’t really pay off for the Swede as their influence was limited, and that has led some supporters to suggest there is too much similarity to Unai Emery’s reign.
Many were left unimpressed by Ljungberg’s selection choices and the changes he made mid-game, indicating that a permanent manager, perhaps one with more experience, would be better equipped to the task of turning Arsenal around.
Numerous candidates have been linked with the job so it could take the club some time to narrow down their man, which means Ljungberg could get a few more games to prove himself.
Here are some of the reactions to the interim boss’ first game in charge.
