Mikel Arteta: Aston La Vista To The Title?

[Preacher]

Arsenal have had just 60 shots in the Premier League since Mikel Arteta was appointed - the joint-fewest in the Premier League alongside Crystal Palace.

Emery probably was the same, only then we conceded a lot of shots also.

 

[celestis]

Not saying he's perfect but he was let down by the strikers today.

We had 4 clear cut chances in the first half ,one of them should have at least hit the back of the net.

 

[Trilly]

Just a ‘promising rookie’ for me until he proves otherwise. Said he was unlucky at first but he’s had enough games now.

Substitutions make no sense either.

 

[Dammit]

Don't know what people are expecting from Arteta. Zero pre-season. The two signings he has been given are barely average footballers. There is not a lot he can do specially when confidence in whole squad is broken.

Only thing I criticize him today is picking Lacazette aka worst signing in history of the club!

Hopefully the break will be useful!

Please take a look at Leicester last season, Rogers transformed them mid league. They also got results.

Lmao, took you one game to change your stance, you utter snowflake.

Apples and oranges. Leicester is not a squad full of prima donnas and poor mentally players. I mean look at Xhaka as our captain. One of the worst captain run in history of the sport. That is a captain our other weak mentally players chose to lead them.

I haven't got an issue with Arteta picking him. Should have got him off a hell of a lot quicker though. Like 20 minutes earlier.

 

[Dammit]

Leicester were a good team just not playing for Puel, good players, good mentality, good owners, top recruitment etc.

Arsenal is a mess, everything is wrong.

He has had enough time to establish us as a team at least to be be able to win a few games.

I think the problem was it was our last sub... Maybe he should have sub Laca instead of Özil. Its difficult. I don't think both should be starting at same time because it feels, specially in away games they both will have to come off in second half.

 

[Manberg]

Hard to fault Arteta. Good lineup. Strikers didn't show up today.

 

[tap-in]

He chose the strikers! I really hoped he'd have the balls to drop Laca and go Martinelli Auba Pepe, very disappointed that he didn't.

 

[14Henry]

He has improved us though. We’re defending better but the attack is still **** because we have no creativity from midfield. The only thing he’s doing wrong at the minute is questionable team selections or subs.

No improvement

 

[14Henry]

If you don't see an improvement from what emery gave us thats on you because the improvement is pretty clear to most people

Tell me what has improved

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Maybe only issue with him is his subs taking far too long. He saw the performance was not improved in 2nd half he waited until 70 min to get willock on

He has though, there are just really fine margins at this level: Laca missing a great chance in the 2nd half at Palace, Pepe being denied a clear penalty against Sheffield 1-0 up and Auba/Laca missing chances you'd expect them to score. Where Emery was getting a lot luck last season, Arteta has had none at all so far.

 

[Pop Tart]

Too slow with subs, wrong selections etc. He has done well but hopefully he can learn from mistakes so far.

 

[tap-in]

Maybe only issue with him is his subs taking far too long. He saw the performance was not improved in 2nd half he waited until 70 min to get willock on

And 89th min to take Laca off!

 

[A_G]

He chose the strikers! I really hoped he'd have the balls to drop Laca and go Martinelli Auba Pepe, very disappointed that he didn't.

I don't think choosing those players was the issue, their finishing was just poor today. That's on the players themselves imo, Arteta can't stick the ball in the net for them.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Tell me what has improved

Defensively and our discipline in midfield we were getting outplayed everytime conceding at least 20 shots a game. Offensively you can't do nothing about it if your players aren't clinical

 

[OnlyOne]

Emery was actually getting points at least and apparently there was no improvement..
