From reading what he says he needs a lot of players to get us challenging. He basically wants us or expects us to back him like we’re backed by a state.
I agree to a certain extent, but he has had the chance to bin 4 of them players and chose not to. This summer will be telling there is no two ways about it. He will be also under pressure when the fans return.
Clowns to the left of me!
No. Only players brought when Arteta here are Partey Mari Cedric Gabriel the others are not his.
The squad is good, it's just the manager who didn't figure out after more than half of the season who should be starting games.
Think the rot had sat in under Wenger. When Emery came in he had a big job in front of him and some players actively worked against him like Özil. It really isn’t until this January that we really have started to cut away at the deadwood. This is clearly going to be a journey. I hope that Arteta is up for it but it sure as hell isn’t without doubt.
I suggested the pound land Klopp at Southampton a couple of years back when he left Leipzig. We need an overachiever, not some bum who needs £300m to play his style of football.
Does that mean we have to be mid table until Arteta buys "his" 20 players? He is clearly underperforming and we are comparing him to fcking Emery, not some other great manager. There's not a single manager who will come in and get a full squad he picks, that never happens, but all the other managers are still required to perform at least to some basic requirements the club should set, and for us, that was 4-6th place on the table which leads to EL
You’re the Rakitic to my Xavi, the Foden to my Silva, the Henderson to my Gerrard. You will replace me, you will get there, but not yet. You don’t quite see things on my level right now.
I'm 100% on that, the rot was set by him and Gazidis but I love the guy so much and I'm still convinced he was the best person in the world to fix that problem if he stayed, but the club wanted to move him and start something new.
If we're talking about titles then he can talk about spending like City but we're miles off that. I'd expect a decent manager in a wide open season like this to at least have us right in the mix for top 4 though. 10th just screams of incompetence to me.
What a loada nonsense......... Guendouzi is looking so average at Hertha Belin and he's not the midfielder we need at the moment. His skillset is very similar to Xhaka's. Hes a good passer of the ball, yes, but his physical attributes and fitness are not up to scratch. You would rather get rid of the one midfielder we have who brings balance between midfield and attack for another deep lying midfielder. This makes no sense. As for Saliba, the guy is still only 19 FFS. I guess you would be one of the first ones to jump on his back if mistakes were made by him leading to his confidence to crumble. Luiz, although not ideal, is an experienced professional who has won everything. We need experienced players like that who play with no fear and have won and been influential in the 'Big' finals. His influence on and off the pitch has been applauded by many coaches within the club. Willian is another player who although it hasn't quite worked out so far, has won stuff and will help nurture the likes of Reiss Nelson, who will i'm sure slowly take his place over the next year and a half. It's only a short term solution for crying out loud! And you say we're developing 2 Real Madrid prospects completely forgetting that Edu and Arteta have had difficult circumstances and financial restrainsts of the pandemic to operate under!!! Come on, you've got to be reasonable man!
Why is this a write off season? It sure as hell wasn’t for lampard. Maybe we the only club effected by COVID? He can get 10 more seasons, but a bad manager is a bad manager and the excuses will get funnier and funnier. I already know the main one for next season. He doesn’t have his squad
