Mikel Arteta: Aston La Vista To The Title?

Jose scored and then retreated into his back six, worst case scenario when you play against them. Besides, at 0-1 Lacazette played Bellerin into this position:

His poor cross was cut out and it led directly to their second goal. If Auba had across Aurier maybe Bellerin plays him in and it's 1-1. Fine margins.

That's the biggest threat against them. Basically one long pass into space and bang, Son is in. Liverpool last night were spared by a stray leg of Son, otherwise Jose would've probably done the same thing to Klopp.

He’s made us defensively astute. Of course, we want more going forward but we’ve scored some beautiful team goals and the potential is there. Look a lot better with a true no.10.

One day he’ll have a fully fit squad to choose from. One day.

Outplayed today but good job with the half time change, which he confirmed was tactical.

 

[Trilly]

Think he did enough to set us up for the win. I would have liked a few clearer chances other than a set piece or relying on tricky Pepe curlers but can’t complain.

He’s doing well.

It worked. We looked a lot better going forward when Willian came on.

Yeah, despite not being a defensive side, we're pretty damn good defensively now. Tough, organised, and spirited.

The offensive progression will take time. The players need to learn this positional offence, and then need to execute it fluently. I'm not really expecting it to click until next season.

Out of interest, who is available now (tried and tested) that could do better than Arteta?

(This isn't a pro-Arteta post either )

Brendan Rodgers.

Brendan and anyone else that doesn't fight with the players or gets hounded out by fans really

If you have The Arsenal sitting back with all the 11 players camping near our own box you deserve to be sacked immediately, which unfortunately is pretty much our main way to defend now. Pretty embarrassing

Brendan Rodgers.

Available is the key word tho. If Leicester finish top 4 he ain't leaving for mid-table Arsenal.

Jesus go support city.

Don't need you around here.

Thats why we pretty much dominated the attacking play in the second half? You idiot.

I dont particularly want to go back to watching an Arsenal that doesn't have enough players defending and gets battered in big games constantly.

If you want that go support Leeds or something. So many braindead toads in this fanbase. Luckily the clued up ones are actually starting to realise.

 

[Blood on the Tracks]

Good record.

That Palace draw eats away at me a bit though. We should have beat them. 2 extra points and you'd be liking our chances of European football a bit more.

 

[Makavelii]

I hope this is the Arteta ball we can get used to....

 

[Tir Na Nog]

We absolutely need to beat Wolves tho, you can only accept these type of results if you follow it up by winning the games you should be winning.

 

[Macho]

Agreed, he made the right call.

I can’t fault Arteta today, Man U had the better team and we didn’t lose.

Arteta out if we don't beat Wolves is it??

Yes, already pre-booked the plane banner.

we have conceded less goals than matches played. Last time we ended the season with less goals than games was 15-16
