Mikel Arteta: Art Of The New Deal

[Sapient Hawk]

Loved him prowling the touchline as though he's threatening to get on the pitch. The meltdown from opposition fans & the media will be too delicious

Motivating us to go another season. Keeping the team strong, especially defensively even with Timber and Saliba out.

The way Arteta is cooking, he can give Gordon Ramsey a run for his money.

Put clause in your contract that says if no top attacker or two signed next summer you'll leave.

We struck gold with Mikel his football might not be your Barcelona or psg but with him you gonna win too many games and that what important in football.

Im not seeing any sign of we won the title now so we dont care this season no in fact we seem taking our game into another level 3 games from 4 games we played really nice football too. And that sign of more demanding manager

We'll see how long it continues but with timber and bruno coming back it'll only get better

 

[Dokaka]

I know a lot has been said about his preference for signing defenders over attackers and all that, and that people are frustrated (justifiably so tbh) with the window that just closed, but can we take a step back and just consider how ****ing mental this bench is? Against a top side in the league as well:

And that's with Saliba, Timber and Mosquera out.

At least 5 of those players would start for pretty much any other team in the league and be considered a vital player.

 

[Entropics]

So far so good, making the best out of being the most settled team in the league

We'll see later how much all that Julian Alvarez simping really hurts us

I appreciate the evolution of what we're trying to do in possession. We were genuinely a delight to watch at times today. I wish that had been augmented by some signings to take the idea to the next level but I can't fault the intent we played with today.

We didn't treat Chelsea like a big club at all. We treated them like a poorly organized experiment which is what they deserve. The next big test will be how we approach Liverpool away. If we look to punch them in the mouth like Chelsea and City then I think we see a team that can still stroll to a title as long as there are no big injuries.

 

[White Rice]

This man's sideline movements are elite. In or out of that box, doesn't matter, they all know about this, they hate it, yet nobody can contain him. Mikel is every 4th official's nightmare.

 

[Blood on the Tracks]

If Havertz, Saka and Ødegaard can keep form / fitness I think we'll be seeing a much more potent attack from Arteta.

Coventry and Chelsea was very good offensive performances, Villa a bit of a grind.

If we can score an additional 10-15 PL goals this season no-one is touching us, with our defensive strength.

Honestly is feels like we are going to stroll home to the title.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Arteta say there still new level to unlock and we still not at our best and need to improve in some areas

He really need to work with his players with counters we can't be that poor at them it'll make life way easier its becoming very poor the amount of times we just waste 3 v 2 or even 3 v 1 counters

 

[Sniper Mik]

City are the only team that worry me a bit. Maresca being a bit of a milquetoast coach tactics-wise has probably helped them. Means no great upheavel from Pep.

If we can rotate our squad well, keep injuries to a moderate level, we are still good enough to win the title more comfortably than last season. You need to be an absolute machine to get 85 points in this league. Only us and City can manage that

 

[MikelHadADream]

I’ve kind of accepted the CL may be tough for us this season with the lack of top level quality and variety in the forward line, but I think the story of this season is being the first Arsenal team to retain the title post war.

I think we showed we were levels above Chelsea today.

 

[DJ_Markstar]

I just realised that we have 4 right backs and all of them would rather play centreback. Arteta truly is a madman.

 

[GDeep™]

Even without that top attacking signing, Arteta has a formidable team that nobody is touching this season.

Something has to go seriously wrong for it not to be a Back2Back season.

 

[Goonger]

Who would have thought, we play better football when our better attacking footballers are fit and confident and playing together?!

But there's some Arsenal fans & plenty rivals think it's more because Arteta picks & chooses when to play with the handbrake on.

Arteta is win manager as long he get W he doesn't care about what people think what help if our top attackers available is that he can be flexible with our style of play

Honestly we won the league last year with half our attackers in patchy form, if Saka, Ødegaard and Havertz produce top seasons for us we're actually walking the league.

And Alf Ramsey too.

 

[DuBB]

I don't really post much in this thread, but I mean, come on... look at this!?

Our RB is on the edge of the box

Our RW is in the 9

Our 9 is on the RW

And our LB is in the 10/Left 8 position.

And all over the rest of the pitch, every position is covered for and balanced to stop any potential counter.

I love this team. I love our coach.

 

[Taylor Gang Gunners]

This beautiful man has introduced me to a brand new lifestyle I’m still low key getting used to.

I am GUTTED whenever we concede a goal. I almost feel insulted like how dare you score against us?
