Mikel Arteta: Aston La Vista To The Title?

[A_G]

Certain moderators bashing goalkeepers we've sold while ignoring the one we have letting balls go through his ****ing legs,

You must've missed the post where I said I'd upgrade on Leno, *****hole

He shouldn't be given no credit for Saka whatsoever.

If it wasn't for Unai believing in Bukayo, he'd be on the bench behind nelson and willian.

Because the bellend is clueless.

It's true though...of the games we lost it was tight margins. Our issue has been creativity and scoring goals.

Isn't that the problem? Artetaball is focused on winning on tight margins. Regardless if it's Slavia Prague or Man City.

That's the mentality we need to shift away from if we want to be a big club.

When did you come to that conclusion, after his 397th mistake this season?

Mods liking each other's abuse of me, what a shock.

I wouldn't give him credit for ESR either. Chucked him in as a last role of the dice against Chelsea. If he hadn't played so well in that game he'd be keeping Nelson company in the stands by now.

We still have the 4th best defensive record in the league. Only Chelsea, Man City, and Man U have better defensive records than we do. At least we have a solid foundation built we just need to score more and i'm sure we'll be firing on all cylinders providing we have a bit of luck on the transfer front. Considering Arteta is a so called 'rookie' I can see we have improved tactically. We were one of the poorest tactical teams in the league for a very long time IMO even under Wenger. None of you can deny we look solid defensively this season.

Bollocks. This is because of Mickeys conservative football nature. Pass it in the back for 80 minutes and then try pick it up a bit for the final 10.

The man is the cu.ck of managers. Too scared to show any ambition to win a game and would rather draw/narrowly lose to avoid the media pressure.

Anyway: Artetas statements remind me of Emerys clumsy attempts to defend our boring football during the end of his time at the club. Its desperate nonsense from someone who is under pressure.

He's never made mistakes like the one against Everton before.

Tight margins is literally Sean Dyche's favourite words. That and percentages.

Which is understandable when you're managing Burnley.

This is the problem with 3/4 of the forum. They all have agendas and won't budge from them. Certain moderators bashing goalkeepers we've sold while ignoring the one we have letting balls go through his ****ing legs, posters burying their heads in the sand over managers, people bashing players every game even if they play well etc. You can't get any joy out of football, or anything for that matter, with attitudes like that.

Oh shut the **** up moaning.

He shouldn't have done it all. I said it the other day tbf, he's not as bad as he's been showing recently. He is just remarkably unlikeable. Always moaning at someone else.

Oh shut the **** up moaning.

Why are you still up, need burping?

I missed it.

I missed it.

You must've been off tagging me in the Mari or Cedric thread

 

[Rimaal]

Obviously a great defensive record

Those are dead horses now.

He's trying to get the players to control posession. Man City play the same along with many other clubs now. Teams want their players to play out the back.

Bar the Liverpool and Man City games, we controlled posession well but didn't have enough creativity and didn't punish teams when we had the chances. Arsenal for years have been laughed at for our poor defensive displays. Why not build from the back (which we have done) and create a solid foundation for us to build upon.

We needed to work on our defensive strucutre. We have been crap for years defensively. We have finally looked quite solid this season and i'll say again, currently, only Man City Chelsea and Man Utd have a better defensive record than we do...

I would have agreed with you but these performances have been happening all season now. He hasn't changed a thing apart from a false 9 on the biggest game of the season.

Despite having a so called good defensive record, I would go as far to say our defenders are horrible (apart from Tierney) and the rest of the backline needs a massive upgrade.

Bielsa would be incredible here, scoring 10 a game but conceding 35.

Football at the end of the day is entertainment. I've never looked more at my phone during a game since Arteta took over.
