Life After Emery Begins

[GoonerJeeves]

https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/foot...171219&utm_source=Facebook#Echobox=1576572936 The senior players are saying this because they fear Arteta will bring tougher training sessions & more likely to drop them or bring them into line haha. Some of them don't deserve to play, putting in nowhere near enough effort.

The Sun is making it up as they go along. Absolute rag of a "newspaper" - pure filth.

But but i thought the delay was because of the City game.

 

[Aussie_gunner123]

Why delay Arteta?

Probably still negotiating with City, Mikels probably agreed though.

 

[Pepes blue pill]

Twice?

accept it, he lost both

For all our sakes hope this works out.

I would hate to see us going down the Milan trajectory.

Us heading down the Milan path has all to do with Management & nothing to do with the staff, who are virtually powerless to do anything.

What excite me most maybe about Arteta is that some of the best players in the league have praised his man management and credited him with how much they improved.

We have some young talents like Martinelli and Saka who can go very far and also Guendozi, Nelson, Willock and Smith-Rowe who development have standed still in last year or so.

It will be very interesting to see if Arteta can light a fire under these talents. Because if he can I think the benefits will be massive for this club!

Fair enough, I don't want to deprive anyone of some excitement, God knows its a rare things for us Arsenal fans. Whilst I think its a big risk I do accept that we cant pick & choose, we are not that attractive due to our owner & lack of CL.

Need no photo or press stuff. Appoint Arteta and get him straight on to the training ground so he can begin to sort the mess out. Bring top quality stuff around him.
Demand overtime from the players.

 

[CaseUteinberger]

actually agree with him here, there's reason to be optimistic about the type of job Arteta can do

What he talks about is pretty obvious to anyone watching Arsenal over the last several years. We are simply too spread out in attack and cannot get compact in defense quick enough. With our CBs we cannot play this open. We would need two Virgil van Dijks, which clearly we don’t have, to have any chance making this kamikaze style work.

Remember reading somewhere that Pep Guardiola says that roughly 30 yards from attack to defense is about optimal in team depth. Watch our games and it is easily 40-50 yards often with 6 player up attacking and then trying to win the ball back when we inevitably lose it. With that way of playing as a unit the result is inevitable. It isn’t even hard for any PL side to cut us open and I mean any. When we play the way we play it is bound to happen.

I personally think the players themselves need to see this also. I think Emery tried to coach this, but not sure all of the players want to play more disciplined. Player like Özil and Auba I am fairly sure do not.

I meant why delay him till next week. It’ll be done tomorrow I bet.

Player:
I prefer X over Y as our next manager...

Exec:
So if I get you what you want, are the performances/results guaranteed to improve?

Player:

[TheEconomist]

The board are probably begging Arteta to hand in a transfer request so they can try and pay less compensation to City
