Mikel Arteta: Managerial Royalty

[Camus]

ONE game since the start of the year whilst we've been in our good run where the attack didn't gel and you're posting this nonsense?

People are so reactionary man.

Basically 2/3rd of the season in and we're 10th with the potential to be 13th due to games in hand. We've also lost more games than we've won.

How is anyone being reactionary?

 

[HairSprayGooners]

The number of complete clowns on here like @HairSprayGooners still trying to blame Wenger for this mid table **** fest are few and far between now.

The bloke left far too late, the squad was in a complete mess. He had the reigns on nearly everything at the club, of course we wasn't in the best place when he left.

Granted we couldve built better when he left but it doesn't just happen like that.

 

[MikelHadADream]

I said this at back end of last season but not being in Europe might be a good think at this stage. 1 game a week next season with a much smaller tighter squad would be a big advantage in the league.

With information that's come to light in recent months, it's clear Raul Sanllehi was the issue. Emery was not even in the running to become manager until a mutual agent friend of the two threw his name into the mix.

 

[say yes]

Must be gutting for Mikel that he’s lost the AM brain-trust. Such a rational and patient crowd.

Think I’m going to join @Gdeep in retiring from this forum. Really is the pits on here at the moment. It’s not been a great season, but seriously just get ahold of yourselves.

Dumb comment.

Look at the turn of the year where we've had a system. Free flowing attacking football ever since the turn of the year. Goals, wins etc. The only games where that hasn't happened were against united and today against Villa where we looked lethargic.

Thats why its reactionary, many, many games of good football and then suddenly we have one bad display away to an excellent villa side and people lose their damn minds.

Its embarrassing. I'm sticking with the manager, you lot can go mental because he isnt going anywhere. No matter what anyone says, no matter how many times @Makingtrax jerks off his cocktail sausage over Arsène, Mikel isnt going anywhere. So deal with it and support the team or do one.

 

[Breezy]

There might have been deadwood but the players signed as starters since then haven't been good enough. That's not on Wenger. His imprint on this team is gone.

It wasn’t gone when Emery and Arteta first took over. They inherited Cech, Bellerin, Holding, Mustafi, Chambers, Xhaka, Elneny, Iwobi, Mkhitaryan, Lacazette all Wenger buys who’ve let the club down for years.

And as I’ve already said the mentality and lazy attitude that’s runs through has been evident since Wenger counterproductively bragged about finishing 4th being a major success and persisting with certain players who were clearly not good enough.

To be honest, compared to the football we’re seeing now Emery was a half decent manager. Our expectations are just sliding every month, like an ageing bachelor on Tinder.

Which part did you enjoy the most conceding 30 shots against Brighton or wolves?

 

[blaze_of_glory]

Why is Wenger even being brought up, it's been three years, two managers and an entire team of new players.

And we're 5-6 places behind his worst ever season at this point.

 

[say yes]

****ing hell, just realised I'm agreeing with @HairSprayGooners

He retired again?

This. I even thought at the beginning Sanllehi would make us better. Was I wrong.

What lazy attitude, the players ran their guts out today, their football was just too confined. And finishing 4th is a **** site better than finishing 10th.

The reality of our situation is that there should be active discussions underway with our next management structure. As much as I want Arteta to figure it out and excel with us, am I not sure we have the resources and capability to give him such a platform.

Arsenal cannot be a training center, we do not have unlimited pockets for that.

 

[blaze_of_glory]

Arteta has improved since the start of the year, he's made adjustments. But today we looked so much like we did prior to the new year again.

I’ve been buried here.

 

[Sanchez11]

I’ve been buried here.

@American_Gooner is lethal never do a gdeep!!

 

[Tourbillion]

Couldn't watch it today, glad I didn't.

Do we think Arteta will figure it out or should he go?

I hate this club.

 

[2Smokeyy]

By the way, I apologise for everything I said about Arsène Wenger. We took so much of that for granted now we’re stuck with a manager who is a complete virgin.
