Agree with most of this, except I can't blame that goal on Arteta myself. Outside of chopping and changing the defence outside of injuries unnecessarily, I'm not sure what more he can do there.

It's very easy to blame Arteta for that, he's reaching Emery levels of inconsistency with his instructions and the team are feeling it. That's the reason he has to bark at Leno to not play it short and that's the reason why Cedric feels forced to manufacture stupid risks and concede a corner instead of hoofing the ball.
That's not on poor Arteta having to deal with hopelessly stupid players, that's the players not having clarity about what Arteta actually wants. In the bigger picture it looks just like it does on the pitch, a team without any kind of identity or plan.

Have to feel for arteta, players missing absolute sitters today, you can have the best game plan in the world but you need your star players to stick them away. Three guilt edge chances missed, this game should've been done and dusted
Saka and Laca really should’ve put the game beyond doubt, even though he could’ve started with Pepe or Martinelli in attack. ESR didn’t really look fit.

Yeah I feel the same regarding the goal but the truth is considering how poor Slavia were we should've really been out of sight by then.
But just like against Benfica Arteta is scared sh!tless of the opposition and we were just off beat yet again.
I mean even if we get past this round I don't know how tf we're going to beat Villareal. For the **** we give Emery we ran amok against Napoli and Valencia when he was in charge and his team will not be as flat as ours.

Cant believe Im actually going to argue against Arteta and disagree with you here...lol.... But there's comes a point when you have to stick it at the managers door. None of it will ever be his fault directly (we dont even know what he told the players to do vs Liverpool or if they flat out **** themselves and were jus unable to carry out orders...) but if the trend persists, you only look at one man, and we're doing some dumb **** too often these days.

Arteta struggling like this and having his position under fire, further questions his handling of guys like Saliba and Guendouzi and poor signings like Mari, Cedric, Willian etc.
Not only could you go, but you’ve not developed guys we signed with a view to the future and stuck us with bum signings for the next 3/4 years.

You know the funniest thing about Arteta is how much he values experience and dislikes inexperienced young players he doesn't feel he can trust, put Saliba in the reserves then out on loan to France, gives Martinelli 5 mins at the end of the game, Nketiah and Nelson completely shunned...it's like B*TCH you the one without any goddamn experience, go send yoself out on loan to France! Go put yoself in the reserves!

Yeah he leaves it to long to change things up I feel.
Knowing when to pull the trigger and make subs or change plans is so key. Ferguson was a master of it and I used to hate it when latter day Arsène would just let the game drift.
Today it wasn’t working at all second half until Pepe came on. There’s been a few times he just hasn’t adjusted as well as he could have this year.

Cant even be sure we'll turn it around tbh. The team might be sick, like they were in Wenger's last days. Didnt matter what they told the press and promised the fans, they went out the next game and played like they wanted him sacked ffs! It was absurd. But that's when you see a disconnect that is hard to fix and is usually terminal.

We’ve been poor for 6 weeks or so now. All season you would say we’ve been decent from Christmas to Feb. It’s looking a bad season the further it goes.

Not looking forward to our next game now, for the first time all season. It become some sort of **** exam.

Should score a few away in Prague, if he hasn’t lost the players.
So things are far from over.

He was a mediocre youth player and a Barca reject and that is probably why he dislikes talented up and coming young players. Nasty and insecure little man.
Exactly.
Lads here crying like the tie is over and we lost by 4 goals.

Its hard for a rookie manager when you’ve got that w-nker Edu telling you that you have to sign his mate’s clients in dodgy deals.
We’re paying Mari and Cedric 160k combined ffs. It’s criminal.
If Arteta goes need to bin slimeball Edu as a priority. Guy is out of his depth in European football.

People are frustrated more with back to back poor results rather than just the one off result of today.

That's my take on it too!
The goals should have been scored. But Willian offered nothing from left and ESR didn't offer much. It could be because of him not being fit but I also have issues with him staying more left instead of going right and combine with Saka.
Hard to judge Arteta about the defense. There are injury issues. But he and Edu did sign Cedric for example. If that was the best we could do with the money available then maybe we shouldn't be expecting this club to move forward again?

The tie is not over because we basically got a championship level team. We will beat them after that whoever we get will beat us. People are upset because the manager is trash and want him out. Every day he stays is a L for the club
