Mikel Starteta Wars: Phase IV - A New Cope

[Mrs Bergkamp]

I honestly think it’s because he’s not our player. Why build him up and not invest in your player to find form. Sterling even the Bournemouth game looked better than trossard, but was subbed after the red. He’s not gonna be here next summer so no point in investing in him

I just think it’s unfair he was not given a fair crack and they got him just as cover. But this Martinelli situation can’t continue all season. We have to buy in January

Trossard is older and so hardly the future. Nobody will care if we win using a Chelsea reject. It smacks of something else.

Has nothing to do with that. We played Ødegaard and Ceballos heavily here while they were on loan. He just must look like sh*t. We know how Arteta plays favorites which is the only reason it was Sterling who was brought in.

Stop.using.trossard.as.attacking midfield

When you gonna stop being stubborn I know the guy is 17 years old you have him on bench but can't be worse than Trossard it's just like we playing with 10 men . Or if you don't want just freaking use Havertz as 10 the guy played this role before

The guy can't dribble can't pass can't cross just stop Mikel

The cap suits him tbh

Why did the club make a stupid video when he was unveiled trying to make out that he will play a fair amount of games then.

Again, it’s all because of poor planning, poor execution. Its Groundhog Day with this football club every single ****ing year

They tried to put on a positive spin. But something happened this window behind the scenes and our football director is gone.

You thought they were defeated...



...but from left to right @jones @Macho Lil @Trilly and @Rasmi , the Arteta outers were just powering up.

Wake up Mikel, it's almost over!

A manager who doesn't value scoring goals, fantastic.

 

[Sebastes]

The persistance with Trossard and Martinelli is just indefensible to some extent. WTF was the point of Sterling? Nelson could have taken those minutes and probably done more with them.

We cashed in on Nelson, which was what everyone wanted and the right decision.

Sterling was a gamble worth taking and which might still prove worthy of taking. I think it’s his lack of defensive work more than anything that keeps him out right now.

Nelson is on loan we didn't cash in

You might be right about the defensive work but having watched him, I think he just doesn't have the legs for it. A bit like Partey tracking back recently. It's not a lack of application, discipline or willingness.

I actually think it is application. That’s not to say his leg hasn’t gone, but you can see how he just doesn’t do it even early in games. Compare him to any other attacking player we have.

I think he just feels it’s beneath him in a way.

 

[Mrs Bergkamp]

I thought the money spent would bridge the gap of Arteta's inexperience. I generally try to keep quiet but we can't afford to fail again this season. We need to exit this slump and put immediate success before principles-at least for now.

I'd be surprised after his stint under Pep and despite the media hate, he's apparently not wired that way. He's probably dusted.

So who the hell did Jesus come on for? (Yes, I know, rhetorical question, because I do actually know, and if I didn't, Google would tell me quite quickly). But I came inside a couple of minutes late after the halftime stress cigarette, and saw Jesus. And my first thought was great, Trossard is off. But then I saw him. It's ok, then, maybe it's Martinelli, still good. No, Martinelli is still there (though it took five minutes to notice).

I might be one of the least #ArtetaOut people on here. But even the fat bloke at the pub knows that Jesus, Trossard, and Martinelli at the same time is a road to nowhere, and shouldn't be done unless it's the last ten minutes of an elimination cup tie and you're recklessly playing a 1-1-8 trying to find that goal.

 

[HagnSprayGooners]

The goals dried up after that international break, very frustrating right now.

1) Speed of our attacks is so slow, it reminds me of last season when we also started slow but this time we are having real bad form with it.

2) No creative players on the pitch aside from Saka. A squad of system players and very little flair. Nwaneri should've been starting so many of these games, poor management from Arteta.

This is becoming a dangerous moment for him that could turn into a real landslide if he isn't careful. He's lucky that Ødegaard is back.

 

[The Ducking Duck]

No, Inzaghi wasn't "schooled" by Arteta ffs. Sommer had to make only one really difficult save all game. Overall, Inter were in control and were happy with a point when the game started. The second half was mostly awful btw. 60000 crosses and basically all of them were harmless.

 

[Olivier_Giroud]

The mere fact that Inzaghi rested his players and showed up with his B team shows how he looks down on Arteta, does not rate him and sees him not at his level.

Inter players were laughing at Arteta and his band of bottlers at fulltime. We are a joke in Europe under this Old and Stale of a Manager.

Half a decade of process and nearly a billion spent for a Mourinho with a sprinkle of Pulis way of playing football.
