United rebuild coming up.
Can't believe he isn't asking for 7 new players that fit his system

Honestly, Arteta is proof that nobody at the club knows anything about football. If you want to go the youth route which is what they're trying to sell then you go for a manager with a track record of being able to develop youth. You put youth with an established manager so that the only growing pains are on the players' end. Instead, we have experienced players who have never been leaders being asked to lead kids who end up leading them and a manager who may well have a personality disorder drowning in the job while the kids try to rescue him and develop at the same time. It's doomed to fail. Even if the kids are improving technically and individually, they are stagnating tactically because his tactics are infantile and don't help them to develop their positional sense in any way.

For anyone too lazy, we had 24 points in the equivalent games last season (Replacing Norwich/Watford/Brentford with Fulham/West Brom/Sheffield)
So we are on course to be 1 point worse off with games not played staying equivalent. Tragic
Something for the manager and players to work on, just got to be braver.
He can work on that in the Championship.
It was inexcusable to play Mo after we were 2-1 and then bring in Eddie before Laca or Pepe after keeping Auba out there too long. Not sold on Ødegaard despite him having a nice goal and creating a beautiful chance for Martinelli that he flubbed. He is a liability without the ball that we maybe can’t afford on this young team, he did create a lot for both us and the opponents unfortunately. He made lots of bad errors in this match Arteta, they were ripe for the taking.
I don’t think Maddison is worth 70million or so, over priced because because he is British. Good player I rate him not for the price tag Ødegaard is 35 million so far he has been a mediocre buy at bestWhat's your stance on Maddison vis-à-vis Ødegaard?

I think you make a very interesting observation. I thought the same when watching the game last night & that actually getting a goal in those circumstances seemed to affect us & not in a good way.Maybe deep down the players knew that ESR goal was **** and switched off as a result, odd events when playing can make you do that.
We probably would've been better off if it wasn't given.
This might hold some weight were it not for the fact that this team behaves identically every single time it takes a lead against any and all opposition. It's clearly coached to sit back when it goes ahead. That's been the case in every match we've scored first in this season as well as quite a few last season. I don't know why people feel a need to reach for answers that are right in front of us. In spite of who he's played and worked under, the academy he came from and the club he presently manages, Arteta has no interest in playing free flowing attacking football. He wants to scrape results by perilously inviting pressure with slim leads. It's a lower midtable mentality that has absolutely no place at a club with our supposed ambition and certainly not a club with our tangible history. And yet again, it's an example of incongruent ideas being pursued at this club because if that's what you want to do, you do it with experienced players, not mostly youngsters.Maybe deep down the players knew that ESR goal was **** and switched off as a result, odd events when playing can make you do that.

Or maybe I am Hairspray and I anticipated that this type of test question would come up and that should hide my true Maddison fetish to throw you off my trail. Winding up your guys Stalinist Soviet style paranoia is fun.Ok, that's solved, you're not HairSpray.
