Yes definitely for me.
If by Xmas we are not challenging for top 4 he needs the boot.
you not worried that we then will have wasted another transfer window and season on a mediocre manager?

If getting Ødegaard to compete with and allow rest for ESR and we had an agreement for future fee in place was his only issue then it’d be fine. He’s done lots of questionable squad stuff. Things don’t happen in vacuumsIf we didn't get Ødegaard, then everyone would be saying how Arteta is putting too much pressure on a youngster like ESR...no matter what my boy does, he gets massacred on here
How I feel as well, I'd be delighted to win the Europa more than anything but the board I'm sure would have given him the aim of CL qualification pre season and he'd have achieved it with a EL win. I'm pretty sure qualification through our league placing would have been the main aim though.If Arteta somehow wins Europa league you have to let him work tbh.
Even though I think it is possible to fluke cups and league form says more, the name of the game is CL qualification. If he achieves this whilst winning a final that our previous managers couldn't, I personally feel like we should allow him.
This is coming from someone who can't wait to see the back of him btw.
I'm willing to give him the start of next season.Top question.
@say yes @DUFFMAN @teamsoutheast
what would make you want Arteta gone? Does 10th and no EL win feel like progress?
Not really no.you not worried that we then will have wasted another transfer window and season on a mediocre manager?
45 million for Partey.The expectation for Wenger was top four, he got an extra season when he finished 5th due to his standing and was sacked (let’s not pretend otherwise) when it became obvious top four was gone for a second season.
Emery got an extra year after finishing 5th due to Raul covering his own arse after pushing for his mate to get the job and was then sacked halfway through the season.
KSE have actually backed Arteta massively considering COVID, £45m up front for Partey, paying off players early etc. 18 months and we’re 10th in the table, not 6/7/8th ****ing tenth. Only reason he’ll be here if he doesn’t win Europa is Josh seems to have pushed for him ala Raul/Emery.
Who's decision was it to have Elneny as his replacement though? Same with Ceballos. They're here because Arteta chose to have them here.45 million for Partey.
Yes but let's be honest his frost season has been a disaster
If he was playing wrekin week out I'd tend to agree with you.
Elneny has been his replacement, jesus think about that for a minute.
I think Emery was unlucky to get sacked as it was the language barrier which was his downfall (not his fault at all as he always tried his best to speak english when doing interviews etc...) His instructions were not getting across to the players clearly. Arteta speaks multiple languages and his instructions do seem to be getting across to the players. We have improved defensively big time, nobody can deny that. We just need to work on our attacking game and find that balance in our transition play. A number of players have already praised Arteta for his coaching methods. Had we have got that Penalty which was blatantly a penalty BTW, or had Ceballos shot in the dying seconds gone in nobody would be piping up on here. This Burnley game had nothing to do with Arteta as we controlled it throughout. A few seasons ago we would have crumbled under pressure and lost that game. Both teams to be fair were solid at the back.When managers get sacked it’s from their players making poor decisions on the pitch. I can’t remember a manager getting sacked while his team is making good decisions on the pitch and getting results. I mean isn’t this why Emery got sacked
He shifted Guendouzi who could have been ahead of Elneny.45 million for Partey.
Yes but let's be honest his first season has been a disaster
If he was playing week in week out I'd tend to agree with you.
Elneny has been his replacement, jesus think about that for a minute.
If they're making "club signings" like Gabriel and Thomas it should be alright. Hopefully he won't get any more specially requested Willians.you not worried that we then will have wasted another transfer window and season on a mediocre manager?

Edu will do as told by his boss Kia.If they're making "club signings" like Gabriel and Thomas it should be alright. Hopefully he won't get any more specially requested Willians.
I think nothing will make them want change in the summer. I have accepted that. My thing is they will start the progression debate next season from us finishing 10th. With this in mind it’s almost impossible for Arteta not to have made progression from finishing 10thTop question.

Whatever it is, the standards have went from top 4 to top 10 in like a year and it's incredible when you think about it.
It's actually crazy and makes no sense.. Top 6 will be seen as a successful season next year lol.
