Keown, who played for Arsenal during a successful period in the early 2000s, understands the challenge of coming close but not quite winning. He believes that it takes a special team to overcome this feeling of being the runners-up.

During his playing days, Keown's team had a psychologist who helped them to overcome their mentality and achieve success. The psychologist pointed out that the team's statistics showed they were often second best, but he didn't believe it was true.

The psychologist looked at the team's strengths and said that they had World Cup winners and players who had won trophies in the past. He encouraged the team to find the potential they knew they had.

Keown thinks that Arteta could try a similar approach, but ultimately, it's up to the players to respond and take action to achieve their goals.
