Mikel Arteta: Everybody Hurz(eler)

In comparison, Sigurdsson was banned from playing at Everton the moment the allegation appear and the charges were dropped eventually but he never got a second chance in England since. He was even more important to Everton back in 2021 then than Partey was to us. It's a big contrast on how both clubs handle it. Contract extension offer was really just the icing on the cake. Did they really expect him to walk away easily after getting bailed out for 7 times?
I forgot about Gylfi. You wonder how much the suits know when you look at the different ways very similar situations are handled. Thankfully the Partey circus is over for us and we can concentrate on replacing and improving what he brought to the pitch. I'll always be grateful to his agent for rejecting the offer tbh

Can you imagine the absolute ****e this bellend buys his kids at Christmas. They probably get bullied at school for wearing Tommy Hillfinger, Gregory Armani, Alf Lauren and Schmalvin Schmlein gear.

I think his time here is up.
Whatever he learnt from Pep is not relevant anymore. Football has moved on from that inverted full back ****.
It has gone back to the overlapping fullback.
Pep has caught-on. Arteta is still trying to fix a system that is a generation old.

I give him 12-18 months max here at Arsenal. Will be grateful for bringing us back to those CL spots but may be time to move on.

Reached semi final of ucl but system doesn't work? Mind you with more luck we'd have even won vs PSG.
He does play the most boring football out there for sure but the system is working mate

Nope...
The system works well in UCL as we are essentially becoming Stoke City on Steroids. So does help against big teams.

This system does not work to win the league. Defence wins you titles is an outdated quote doesn't work in the age where you need 90 pts to win a title.

We might fluke a UCL (very doubtful). But we are not winning the league with this Haramball.

Genuinely think Arteta is out of ideas now. While last year was the first year under Arteta we have regressed points wise but football wise we have regressed for past 2 yrs now.

You know most finals are won by haramball tactics? Not sure what you are saying.

He was 1 and 2 pts off the title. How is this not a working system?

Madrid / Liverpool / City / PSG are recent CL winners. None of them play Haramball.

Can you please remind me in which universe/multiverse was Arteta 1 pt off the title?

Madrid was not playing haramball against City?🤣🤣🤣 so 3 teams who have won UCL is proof that attack is winning way but at same time PSG was known as biggest bottlejobs in UCL, City proved us they can't win ucl easily either(remember Inter haramball football should have won vs City). Why did you leave out all the haramball teams who won UCL? The only team you mentioned is Madrid but they are not an attacking team...

He’s got 2 years left on his contract I imagine he will see it out and if we don’t win anything he will be off. He might still get the sack if we don’t win anything would actually like to see this happen because he’s been ruthless with some of his players and some karma would be in order. This season should be win or die for him but I doubt KSE would care too much if he delivers CL again.

Quit moving the goalposts, recent winners are known for their attacking football.
Last 5 ucl winners are Madrid 2x, Chelsea, City and PSG.
Chelsea and Madrid are counterfootball defending teams in UCL... what's your argument cause you never gave one.

You really think Madrid play Haramball.
Hahaha…
They have no clue how to defend.

Playing counterattack football is not haramball. Liverpool under Klopp also played with similar tactic to some extent.

Chelsea is the only one and they fluked it. Check their run to the final.

I dare you to watch Madrid runs then and tell me they were not defending whole game. I mean even against City only you seen enough

When the team doesn’t have the ball what else are they expected to do.
What matters is what the team does when it has the ball.
Time wasting from the 30th min
Just focus on winning the corner and win the game trying to score from the corner.
Zero flair and risk taking at play.
These are the things we do all the time.

Havertz is essentially a german Fellaini. Tell me a good team who plays with Fellaini up top. And its not because of lack of options, that is what the manager loves.
