Arsenal have been told not everything is all doom and gloom around the Emirates Stadium.
Owen Coyle is delighted with the form of loanee Ryo Miyaichi.Boss Arsene Wenger is currently facing criticism from various quarters after his side were dumped out of the FA Cup by Sunderland last weekend.
That defeat came hot on the heels of a thumping 4-0 reverse to AC Milan in the Champions League, with Wenger admitting his team now need a miracle to progress and keep alive the only hope they have of ending a seventh successive season without silverware.
Wenger has been accused of being his own worst enemy when it comes to his reluctance to spend big money in the transfer market, in a bid to keep up with his rivals at home and abroad.
But the Frenchman has been told by Bolton Wanderers boss Owen Coyle that he pulled off a masterstroke when he first spotted Japanese striker Ryo Miyaichi back in 2010, playing for his high school team in Nagoya.
The 19-year-old is currently wowing everyone at the Reebok Stadium after arriving on loan from the Gunners in January. Miyaichi scored a sensational goal on his full debut in the 2-0 FA Cup victory over Millwall last weekend.
I am sure he will go back to Arsenal an even better player than he is now.

And Coyle insists: "He excites me. He is only a kid, but what a talent he is. He can still learn but he is brave. He always plays the game with a smile on his face.
"It is a win-win situation for us because I have got an exciting player and I am sure he will go back to Arsenal an even better player than he is now."
Bolton are 1.36 to be relegated this season, while they are 1213.00 to win the FA Cup, having been drawn away in the last eight to the winners of the replay between Spurs and Stevenage.
