The Russian has been criticised by supporters and commentators during his time in England.
“Speaking honestly, I think my performances for Arsenal have been average,” Arshavin said.
“I’ve done some good things but I don’t assess my game on goals or assists – I look at the whole picture. Normally when I’m on the pitch, I take control of a game but I haven’t really done that here. I’m an extra tool in the team rather than the main one, so it’s been different.”
