Mikel Arteta: Winner 🤴

[Trilly]

The biggest irony is that Mikel's conservatism and risk aversion was heading towards costing him the league

Hey now, don't be so negative

Wtf looooooooooooooool

Poor guy won't even see this until his need to rage about Eze at 3am starts tingling his senses

Just say 'football man' thrice and he shall appear

We will be the away team for the CL Final. So if PSG progress, we can still wear our home kit but if it's Bayern, we'll have to wear the Blue or White kits.

Gotta be the standard blue away kit if we cant' use the red. Can't be risking anything.

Pretty funny imagining this

Sound as plausible as Enriquez telling him we were better team and deserved to go through

I hope Arteta doubles in on his methods and system if he wins the title. We have more trophies to win.

...

This is what I notice too. He is just frozen on the sideline. Not reacting tactically like when it obvious the players could do with some shake up in this regard. To many games in a row where coaching team is not helping the players mentally or technically.

I aim to support Arteta and the players until its over for them. I think its good manager and good team who deserve some silverware to show for the hard work they put in, in recent years.

The last 4 months have been really bad though and I mean its completely out of my control what happens after the season but there are interesting managers out there who could come in and change perspective with this group of players how we play. Even if Arteta stays that is what he him self would have to do because this cant go on for much longer.

My main arguement is just its okay to fear the manager market and that things are not so simple for new manager to come in and play beautiful football and win everything. I mean we could of course strike lucky and get everything we want but we could also end up in manager merry-go-round like Sp**s, United and Chelsea have been in.

I agree with Pep there.

Our tactics may be negative but we were good at them or at very least effective. That really hasnt feel like the case after new year.

Mind you I have spoken about we should be aiming for some tactical shake up just to try to get the players into different mindset.

Kinda never defended Arteta attacking signings full on. I even said last summer that Berta should have vetoed Madueke.

We gave it all this season.

Might have to renew the majority squad and manager this summer.

Good talented manager. His methods may not be everyone's but they kinda have him nearly there on yearly basis.

Criticism of his attacking coaching and mentality is 100% valid also.

...

Yeah but Im obviously wrong if it works out for us.

Set new challenges as well. Try to win a major trophy using only own goals.

Been thinking, i reckon if he played Raya in the cup final and quarters in the fa cup. We woukd be in a even better position. Hes seemed like hes learned his lesson regarding MLS. Fair play.

It is negativity though, I can read through all your passive aggressive posts about him. At the end of the day if he was someone you liked you wouldn’t be constantly trying to discredit him.

Nothing wrong with negativity or positivity. Its just an analytical style. Some people build careers on just trying to find faults and errors or looking for the worst case scenarios.

You can criticise the reasoning brhind a pov, but this insistence on everyone being cherubs of cheerfulness is grumpy-shaming and discrimination against sad bitter and gloomy people

I thought it was AI generated at first



Top 2 most painful experience supporting the club man. We 100% should have beaten Barcelona in that final. I still can't get over it.



The biggest irony is that Mikel's conservatism and risk aversion was heading towards costing him the league and when he finally said "enough is enough" we've completely turned around our form. Poignant that another Hale End academy product in MLS might completely turn his fortunes around again!

The pressure of expectations was lifted and he had nothing to lose. So he unfroze

If you're grumpy about yout team while your team is top of the league and in a CL final then you should be shamed for that tbh.

 

[merciarsene]

If we looking at data, then he won diddly squat in his first five full seasons. Thats not very impressive. Maybe its this season thats the outlier.

I mean if we judging him by results, kets wait till the results are in. If we judging him on his performance, then criticisn of his manic behaviour, risk averse behaviour, in gane nanagement, squad management, slowness to react to issues are all fair game

What if i am Marvin? Dont shame me for my personality

Marvin would say you dont get trophies for being top of the table or being in finals

Not grumpy but my dream is for this team to be talked about the way prime City and Pool were, the way PSG are now.

I’m always going to compare our players and our managers to that, that’s just how I am personally, in my personal life too. Always looking to progress and do better.

I like to think that Arteta is learning from his errors. Without doubt he has over played some players, mainly Zubi, Rice & Timber. If Merino had been available, Zubi & Rice would have played less. Arteta clearly lacks confidence in Nørgaard, and has only just gained confidence in MLS.

Timber had no back up with White out, so was always going to burn out. You could argue that Gyok would have been over played if he didn’t had a rest through injury.

If you really want to go for all 4 competitions, you have to have the rotation quality in all positions .We didn’t have that rotation quality at LW, RB and Striker. These are 3 key areas that Arteta and Berta have to focus on. Maybe starter and cover at LW because the first choice is not strong enough. Good young players at RB and Striker.

I progressed. Its been awful. Now Im trying to regress back. Jobless. Divorce. Alcohol and cocaine again. A man can dream!

Yeah. He isnt pigheaded or arrogant. He does accept his mistakes and is always open to learn. I still think his response time is too high. He trusts his current process for far too long till it breaks down conpletely
