Arteta out

I blame them both. Arteta for continuing with picking them, but the players are largely responsible for what they do on the pitch. It is them that are putting very little effort in. They have performed to a much higher standard in the past, and are capable of playing in the same, or similar, way that the EL team does. Maybe not Xhaka, to be fair, so picking him is a massive, massive, question mark over Artetas head.

And I know people will point to giving Willock a chance and that did not work...again..playing with Xhaka and Ceballos as the CM pairing...no one in that front 4 is going to look good.
--------------------------

He needs to be brave and continue with these players, they need a good run of games, a real chance. Not the odd game here and there then dropped for the next if their performance dips slightly.

Get Maitland-Niles & Willock in our Premier League starting XI more often and less Xhaka please, easy. Start getting the other young players more involved too. Nketiah, give him more PL time. Balogun, give him some, Smith-Rowe, why not? Can't be any worse than Willian, Laca, Xhaka & Auba lately.

Agree completely. Apart from playing Eddie. Let’s be honest, he looks average at best.

You may be right, it's certainly borderline whether he has the potential ability to be a long term 1st XI player for a team with our ambitions and expectations.

However, he works hard and gets himself into good positions, he doesn't score all of them but he scores some and I like his fox-in-the-box poacher instincts over Lacazette's these days.

He’s definitely the man for the job at Arsenal, he’s in that allardyce mould. Should stand you in good stead to avoid relegation.

Please stop mate your not the United of old ffs where u could laugh at teams, your still a Joke of a club mate
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He’s not your mate
He thinks you’re acunt👍
---------------------------------------------------------------------

I wonder what he thinks of you being a 2012 City supporter?

Arsenal have now accumulated the third most crosses & corners in the Premier League. When it comes to accuracy, they rank 18th.
--------------
Pulis would be proud.

And when it comes to chances created 20th.

People used to say NoBoDy CaN Do AnY bEtTeR wItH tHeSe PlAyErS when Wenger was in charge and I always laughed, but I actually don’t know who we can realistically bring in to do a better job than Arteta.

Wenger

Willock, AMN, etc are all poor and won't add anything to this team. Deluded to suggest otherwise.

Anyone would think that Emery never came within touching distance of CL football (and with a weaker team at that), the way some are diving to the "Blame everyone/thing else but Arteta" defence.

Reiss Nelson frozen out of the PL squad.

AMN frozen out of the PL starting lineup.

Choosing Leno over Martinez for this seasons campaign.

Stupidly wasting 10 games on a formation and strategy which was heavily reliant on Martinez to work.

Repeatedly starting a Willian who's clearly not up to task yet.

Despite finally changing the formation to a more positive one. Idiot still keeps the same "Pass to nowhere then loft a high ball from RB/LB position or run the line and cross in to no aerial threat" losing strategy.


Regardless what went on before he got here or how much money he's not being given to spend. Arteta has no excuse for the above decisions. He has a squad of players to get the job done and he knows what that squad is. NOBODY to blame but him for his bad decisions.

Something you should consider before defending him so hard, is the fact that he's been a hypocritical MF. Giving Leno back the No 1. spot and selling Emi. constantly starting Willian and Bellerin, no 1st team starts for Nelson and hardly any for AMN...

ALL break Arteta's own "I'm layin' down the law, 100% effort and the best player plays" rule. The one he shoved down everyone's throat when he came in. His subsequent choices make it abundantly clear, that was/is a bunch of BS. His favourites will always play, even when they're blatantly not up to the task a match may bring.

Not calling for his sacking, not big on that. However if he was suddenly sacked now, I'd not be mad, sad or disappointed about it. He can't even get basic player matchups right. This is not the manager to restore the Arsenal brand. We should have gotten Ancelotti when we had the chance. He knows how to get the best out of not that much..

Dubbed is pathetic, filters people then starts replying to their comments with insults they are unlikely to ever see.

You are deluded, they are all upgrades on Xhaka.
