Manchester City midfielder Samir Nasri feels former club Arsenal need to start grinding out results.
Nasri expects Arsenal to recover from their problems but has suggested sometimes they might need to adjust their playing style to gain all-important results.
He said: "Sometimes it is good to win ugly. You don't always have to play good football to win.
"It is difficult for them but the manager has a good philosophy and I know he will find a solution soon."
Nasri has previously voiced his hurt at claims his move was motivated by money and he says his early-season form was not hindered by the fee City paid for him.
He said: "I never asked Manchester City to pay £24million.
"It was a lot of money but every transfer now has a lot of money.""Arsenal is the proof of it. They play good football but, at the end, in seven years they didn't win (any trophies).
