Wih young players, you need stability, calm heads who encourage them on the pitch and off it. I don't agree with having too many egotistical players. Henry's ego and personality were great at times when playing but it didn't get him far when he was manager at Monaco. The players lost respect for him so it's more about stability in the dressing room for me.

This is a real concern.
Gabby Jesus looks like he has been convinced, Hickey too. Good players but not enough to take us up a level IMO. Once we start pushing for players like Gnabry, Osimhen, Ruiz/Neves, then we will see what tonight's loss means for us.
But Ill say it again... if we push for big targets, and we get them... beware of this possibilities for our team.

Yeah.
Though Mourinho as our manager, means I leave AM for forever though.
Probably a good trade for everyone, tbh.

Was waiting to see where we ended up at the end of the season while willing to give him a pass for our average performances if we achieved top 4, but with today's loss, I can't feel too optimistic with him in charge.
Not only was the result poor, the manner of the performances in the two biggest games of our season is what was disgraceful. Not to mention, we haven't had a comfortable/comprehensive performance since the Norwich game in December.
I feel that if Arteta had the makeup of a potentially elite manager, he would have found a way to get the results needed. One might say we overachieved by even being in with a shout, but you'd figure any manager worth his salt would have gotten the points required to qualify for the CL under any means necessary given the favorable position we were in.
Everyone bar a select few assumed Sp**s would lose against Pool, but Conte (not saying he was right for us) set his team up expertly and was able to secure a result at Anfield which gave them momentum and confidence heading into the NLD. Arteta needed to have the team ready for these season-defining fixtures, but it didn't happen.
Ultimately, though, the buck stops at the board. I've said it numerous times now, but Arteta would not have received better offers elsewhere; manager of Arsenal FC was the best job he was going to get. I understand that EL was their target for this season, but handing out an extension prior to the conclusion of the season, when there could still be much variance in mood and confidence within the club and fanbase based on how the campaign ended, was not it.
*Hope Sp**s Sp**s it against Norwich to make this age like milk (not going to hold my breath tho).

We have greatly strengthened Sp**s position going forward also. Without CL, Sp**s were definitely not going to spend heavily, and hence, I think Conte was gone. Potentially he stays around now.

If you took an anonymous poll of each manager's current and former players, I promise you that Mourinho would have a higher percentage of players who like him.

Lol personally don’t pick Mourinho in any trade. I don’t hate him but stay away from Arsenal please.
Atleast with Mikel he played for us and he means well.
The title was between Man Utd/Chelsea by the time we played against Bolton, Stoke, Aston Villa and Fulham where we took 1 point out of 12. That was the winless run you criticised Wenger for, but that’s different to being in the race for a a CL spot like Arteta.I was replying to a comment about Wenger in my original post that you quoted.
But to your point, how can you say you had little to play for when you were literally 2nd, behind by 2 points with 9 games to go? Come on fam.
Wenger and the team genuinely just **** the bed. it happens, but it was still terrible.

Annoying as he is, he's right there
He’s never right about anything. That spastic thinks Ronaldo isn’t even in the top 50 players of all time. His opinion on anything is irrelevant.
Country: England
You’re probably right tbh. Willian loves him till this day actually. Relevant cause he’s played under both.

It will be curious to see how Arteta recovers from this. After Baku its been said that confidence in Emery amongst the players was lost. Is this a similar situation?, not so sure, but its a possibility

Lord, my boy has been that bad, hasn't he?
This is what you say about your 5 year old cousin when he misspells your name on your birthday card, not the manager of Arsenal

My feeling is that we cant even get Jesus without CL (but could be wrong) given he probably has quite a few clubs to chose from. It will be probably be a window of some more young players like Hickey.

So he shouldn't fall out with his CAPTAIN when he turns up late for training? He shouldn't fall out with prima donnas like that Özil? Nope, no time for people like that. Let them go to Man Utd with their attitude.

What I saw from the players today was ten times worse than Baku. They looked like they had never played football before. Ramsdale who I've had a lot of time for all season may have had the worst half I have ever seen from a goalkeeper at any level and you should remember that I grew up playing football here in America.
