Not sure Arteta could sound that stupid and lacking in vocabulary if he tried.

I remember people talking about the need to fix the attack first, that's what Klopp and Pep did. Then fix the defense.
But this doesn't have to be true at all. There is nothing that says you can't start fixing squad by fixing defense first. That is what Arteta has been doing. And that is probably what team with not much luck and finance in the market has to do!

We have a potentially world class coach in Arteta. Fantastic tactical performance today. Stopped City from playing while retaining a decent attacking threat throughout. Top class. We have to back him.

Teams have different circumstances. It was clear as day that our defense had structural issues. Arteta's impact in that regard was noticeable from day one. The reason we couldn't magically turn into a consistently good defensive side despite the structural improvement is that we have too many error-prone defenders, and that can only be addressed in the transfer market.

We have nothing to be proud of winning like a mourinho’s side. We should be the one who is dominating games.
Today we just win because our opponent is lacking a bit of sharpness, we have more desire and a bit of luck. In terms of football ability we are far behind this city team.
Shame to win football game this way, it’s a ****ing disgrace. We should work on our transfers, rebuild our identity that we play the most beautiful football in the world.
We should win because we are the better football team, not by better desire, not by luck, and not by parking the bus.

We played a great game and for the first time looked disciplined. It’s nice to see a team that can defend. We took our chances so well too. We attacked better than city, we just didn’t hold possession. Funny how people think possession is of primary importance, especially seeing all the times we dominate it and lost easily.
I legitimately don't remember being particularly against Arteta, maybe I didn't think him experienced enough (the extra time under Pep while Emery was here could well have been beneficial for all we know), but I've always been a fan of his character. Fwiw I was very pro-Arteta this season before he hired him, that I have no doubt about.
Feel free to prove me wrong, I've posted a lot so I obviously might have said some good and bad.

Not sure if anyone pointed out, but did anyone else really appreciate our midfielders ****ing running to close down the ball when it was cleared so City couldn't shoot from range? I think one of the main reasons we concede so many from distance at times is precisely because we let teams have a go, but today, we were brilliant at that.

You know there's two parts to a football side don't you, attack and defence?
Also, Wenger had Adams, Dixon, Seaman, Vieira, Cole, Campbell, Toure, et al at his disposal, so it's bollocks to think that Wenger didn't recognise the importance of defence to build a side that can attack with risk and excitement.
Shame on you for trying to downplay how well our boys played. And shame on you for not wanting a side that shows one of the other key components of any successful professional pursuit: desire.

I called him and Bielsa, and look both of them. Bielsa is the most football wise man I had heard in my life.

Shut up... You don't know a shiiiit about football. Don Nadie criticizing an ex pro player with a perfect game plan today. We don't need "fans" like you

Just two top player is enough to elevate this team. CB and a CM and maybe an AM and we're good for next season.

If we'd beaten Leicester and Sp**s, we would have had 58 points by now and Leicester would have been on 59 points. Chelsea still has to play wolves and Liverpool.
Leicester still has to play man utd and Sp**s.
I'm fairly confident we would have gotten one of the spots

We'll sell him anyway. His wage is too high. I imagythe club is trying to move him on.
AMN could cover both RB and LB as back up

Then you're delusional, wtf even is Pep style football? We use to play that type of football under Arsène and it was much better anyway. That style only works when you have the best players though.

All credit to Arteta for organising and motivating the players to give two back to back determined displays.
OK we haven't got the squad to compete like that over 38 games, but you can get silverware from cup competions beating the odds the richer sides have in one off games. That's what Wenger did.
