Mikel Arteta: Managerial Royalty

[Hunta]

Remember how he talked about improving these results when he first joined? Lovely stuff

 

[Paperino]

The Nketiah sub was insane. Pepe is out in january or in 6 months.

 

[Pyres7]

We always drop off when we score and I honestly dont think the players are being instructed to do that. That being said, I dont see Arteta out there raging at them for not keeping a high tempo.

It's happened consistently throughout Arteta's tenure. If he doesn't want them to do it why is he not getting the message through to the players? I almost don't want us to score too early because we all know we're going to retreat instead of dominating and killing the game off.

His post match interviews after we lose are awful, almost as bad as all the Athletic puff pieces.

What did he say?

 

[Sniper Mik]

I just don't buy this perception of "dropping off". A drop off would mean we have some sustained spell of good attacking moments. There wasn't anything of that tonight. We caught a break cause De Gea was in fetal position. But we played exactly the same before and after the goal - unable to string more than 3 progressive passes together and go back to Ramsdale.

 

[Hunta]

It’s Arteta’s fault either way. He’s either telling them to sit back or they’re not listening to him.

Tick tock.

Henry >>>>>>>


So glad he’s saying this about this Mikel and Wenger bullsh*t thank you.

Henry and Evra straight up calling it good PR and questioning what else was he really going to say.

 

[MartiSaka]

Where is Pepe why we bringing on Nketiah ffs

 

[Paperino]

How will Arseblog be able to blame this on anyone but Arteta? He will try.

I haven't looked on here for a long time but I was a little surprised to see such a massive Arteta out crowd, I especially this season feel like I understand what he wants us to do, we're actually pretty ambitious when we're attacking, we move forward with most of our players and we stand high, and he's built a really promising defense but not all of our players have been playing well enough, especially some our experienced players have been letting us down greatly I feel.

I'm still patient because I knew there would be growing pains and we still need to replace 3-4 players imo, I think with the players we have he's been doing a decent job, he's worked to fix what he thought was the most important to fix that being the defense (which I agree with) and trust the veteran players in our squad to do the job for now, but they're not doing it.

I don't feel like I can ask much more of him to be perfectly honest, there's game tactics during the game (subs and such) that I'm not always happy with, but ultimately I don't feel like our squad is good enough, the young players need more experience and many of the older players aren't up for the job, it's a real shame because I feel like we're not that far off from playing to our potential as we are right now.

Are you still watching the game? My condolences.

Elaborate.

King Thierry.

That’s why you’ll always be my favourite.

 

[Riou]

Auba and Ødegaard together, was never gonna work in a match like this.

Arteta has gotten the teams wrong in pretty much every big away game this season.

 

[Macho]

Elaborate.

He was asked what did he think of Arteta wanting Wenger back and he dismisses it.

Said if he said anything different after showing up to a show in Wenger’s honour he would have been kicked out.

Evra chimed in at the end and said it’s just good PR what else is he going to say.

Never seen a manager get such leeway by journalists where they are extrapolating what we see in every single match is not actually down to the manager. irrespective of whether it’s what he wants or not; he is responsible for it as manager.

These people are sick in the head. Zero integrity. All this for a paycheck

 

[samspade]

Arteta bottled this by playing Elneny and moving Partey to the left side of mf, Bad message to send to the team.
