Arteta-ramsey in 2013/14 was better than Santi-coquelin in my opinion. I agree about his lack of athleticism of course, but that's why the team were more complete when he played alongside Ramsey or Song in his first season. Arteta didn't even replace Song so that's more ignorance.
Reports from the players and Wenger back then suggest both Per and Mikel positively impacted the overall togetherness and character of the squad. But Arteta was officially appointed as Captain and it was noticeable why.
Shame he's a poor manager though.
Lol, thank you sir!Hope you had a great one, your Mikel Arteta dartboard is in the post!
Mad how we’ve declined since then, probably two signings away from winning the league;
Cech > Leno
Bellerin 2015 > Bellerin 2021
Mertesacker > Luiz
Koscielny > Gabriel
Monreal > Tierney
Ramsey, Özil, Alexis and Giroud walk into the current team too.
I liked him he was alright. That's one of the negatives about his managerial reign, I'll just remember when he was the worst Arsenal manager in history instead of when he was a half decent captain for us.Since Arteta still has a lot to prove as a coach...what did everyone think of him as a player/captain for Arsenal?
when Arteta first came he was playing higher up. It wasn’t until song left that he started playing deeply in the midfield or have you forgotten? It is this role we speak of. It is during the deeper role that he captained the club. Not when he initially came here.
When he first came he was very good but after his second season his performances dropped off a cliff. That being said I always disliked that he was playing so deep because he was a very good passer of the ball he just lacked the athleticism to command the role because all our other midfielders were bombing forward leaving him exposed.
I hated the Puma kits. That skin tight fit... Made Mertesacker look like a thin pale sausage...Puma made some of the absolute worst kits of all time, watching that vid...that blue kit was beyond awful, but wasn't even the worst blue Puma kit ffs
At least Sanchez looked mad sexy in it.I hated the Puma kits. That skin tight fit... Made Mertesacker look like a thin pale sausage...
Someone said Mertesacker looked a near empty tube of toothpaste in that kit and I never looked at him the same since.I hated the Puma kits. That skin tight fit... Made Mertesacker look like a thin pale sausage...
My favourite kits where the ones at WC 1982 in Spain. Liked all the big teams' kits: Brazil, Italy, Germany etc. Classic cut. Just very dapper look! All true chaps incl. facial hair when appropriate.All football shirts should XL for every player, plus all tucked in...that's how it was in the late 90s, that's how it always should be.
So if Mik loses the upcoming Europa tie, will the board finally act?
Takes the right hunky body type to pull that kit off though. Looks a bit like I do at 6am getting out of bed to get ready for work...Not all of them though, this kit was great imoView attachment 2491
