The difference will be Partey return, signing a forward, and signing another CM to partner with Partey. There is no motivational speech or extra training that is going to improve half of the players. Decreasing the number of blind crosses only gets us so far.Exactly. It’s embarrassing to read about this player or that player not being one that Arteta signed or wanted. Or that some of these players were signed by Wenger or Emery - not by Arteta.
It doesn’t matter.
No one - literally no one - would have said that we would be 15th after 14 games. No one. And that’s for a good reason: while we may not have the best squad, we have a squad that at the very least belongs to the Top 10.
We’re massively underperforming. And we need to sort this out as a team. And Arteta has an important role in that. We can also try to sign a few players in January but the priority should be to improve as a team.
I’d like to hear what the manager can do to change what is happening on the pitch significantly, given the current talent.
