Mikel Arteta: Aston La Vista To The Title?


Country: Iceland
Yep, like others I’ve noticed this too and it’s really worrying me.

Take me back to the good old days where the players thought our manager was a clown 🙏🏻

AM before: The players are making fun of the manager. We need some to establish authority at our club. We are such a joke.

AM now: This is laughable. We need players who disagree with the manager and go up against him. We are such a joke.

Good luck in your interview mate, remember it’s their not there or they’re when asking how their dogs are doing.

Or better still, the days when the manager was respected and secure enough in himself to allow his players to voice an opinion and make a decision. "Wenger has no tactical nous and just tells the players to do what they want" so many of his detractors yelled. Mmm, we're so much better now and the table is surely lying...

We need players with respect and character and a manager who is comfortable and assured in his role.

Prerequisites for our next manager:
1. Players must not respect him
2. Must say in all interviews that he is happy with 10th place
3. Must not rotate any players
4. Must not run any players into the ground

Thanks mate!

I've been struggling the whole weekend with the "Tell us about yourself" question. The only thing I have is my elite drug knowledge, AM post & likes count, and puffin hunting skills. Worrying times.

Also, my oral English is horse ****. I'm struggling with simple tongue breakers like

It amazes me how many fans can't see that Arteta was appointed under different circumstances to most other managers. If the club wanted a quick fix manager they wouldn't have appointed Arteta.

You can scream about us being 10th till you're blue in face. You appoint a rookie manager based on where you think he'll have you in 3-4 years. It's also pretty obvious that Arteta was brought in to sort the dressing room out and wind a few necks in.

The people behind the scenes obviously still have faith in Arteta to get the club to where they want to be longish term, time will tell if their faith is misplaced or not. This season he's going to get a pass from the higher ups, that's just the way it is. If we're in a similar position next season, then yeah, Arteta's most likely gone.

5. Must not insinuate that the team may be improved (whether literally, metaphorically, by way of metonymy, or through the use of a psychic medium) in case it leads to an immediate improvement in performance.

The table position this season is not irrelevant btw, it is used to gauge how good he is with extracting the most from what he has at his disposal at any time. He has underachieved and the only hope is he is learning as he goes along, but when he picks Willian ahead of Pepe against Burnley I am not so sure on that still. This thread has become a dead end somewhat though in that comparisons with Wenger instead of Emery look agenda-driven in the way they ignore Emery and the actual starting point when Arteta came in. I’m not talking about Makingtrax here, his fixation on Wenger is just his thing about protecting Wenger’s legacy.
