When's Arteta leaving and who's he taking with him?
It's not all his fault, far from it, but the buck stops with him and if the season is anything to go by, it has well and truly stalled.
Defend him if you must, but he is worse than Emery and that's a statistical fact. Three losses from three and MINUS NINE GD with NO GOALS SCORED. The worst I have ever seen in my life, and if we continue on this vein we will be relegated. Three games in and thirty five to go? Doesn't matter. What matters is where the points are coming from and since we've lost to newbies and former champions, to imagine us getting anything from anywhere between those extremes is a stretch. Hell, the way we're going I'd say last place has our name all over it, should we fail to make some enormous changes, starting with Mr Lego Hair himself.
If you think Arteta should stay, by all means give me your argument. Change my mind. I'll wait with less than bated breath.
Serious question...

Yeah Probably. Then go with the easy option and replace him with the then sacked vieira, the board will probably think we’d like that because he’s a club legend.

Arteta probably just talks well and puts on an impressive presentation in a board meeting, that’s probably all it takes to convince the board he’s the right man. I can’t see how anyone with eyes could see what’s happening on the pitch and believe Arteta should lead us forward. If we were playing well with a good structure but maybe losing games due to fine margins, or an individual error you could understand it, and see we’re not far from making good progress. But there is absolutely none of that, and there hasn’t ever been apart from that FA cup run, and a couple games at the end of the season when we had nothing to play for .
I’m sure if you spoke to Arteta he talks a good game, knows a lot about football and has decent ideas. But I think he just lacks ability to translate that to players in any practical sense. Just because you’re very intelligent at something doesn’t mean you’re a good and effective teacher. It’s probably why it worked well at city for him, he had good ideas but it took pep to actually put them into an effective plan. Maybe Arteta will one day learn this, but we can’t wait for it to click for him.
The board needs to pull its head out the sand and recognise they have to get some people in who know how to run a club before it’s too late.

Arteta needs time to build his own team. There’s a lot of talent in the squad.

I think its pretty clear how Arteta got the job. Josh Kroenke was part of the recruitment process with Raul and Gazidis. Arteta was probably his choice from the very start but Gazidis et al persuaded him to take Emery. With Gazidis gone and Raul on the way out Kroenke fired Emery on the first sign of trouble to install his man.
Its now for Kroenke to admit he was wrong. Posters have trouble doing that on this forum. Frankly Josh Kroenke should have cut him loose in the summer, any business man would have.

I mean if you go about saying it’s going to be the biggest change in decades and implying loads of players will leave, basically publicly lambasting the players (who totally deserve it) and leaving them thinking they are out of the job….. only for no players to leave and loads more to in yea no wonder the players are not playing for him.
What a ****s up! Xhaka was joking Roma!! He was practically gone then we give him an extension!?!!!!? William and Bellerin are still here, kola is still here! Both Lacca and Auba are here, Nketia* is here, El Nenny is starting in our midfield!!
How can you spend 130,000,000 in one summer and your starting MF is Xhaka and El Neny😆 or your defence is Soares, Kola, chambers and holding???
The squad is a now a total mess! Half the players who were to be a part of the massive change prob despise Arteta and want him out and the other half must be confused as to why he only plays the players he said he wants out

Maybe he is instructed by board to play the deadwoods so that they fetch back money it’s backfired though and probably made both out young players and fans mad.

It is his own team. Of the 30 listed players on the Arsenal website he has bought, renewed the contract or taken big steps to keep all but maybe 6 of the players, and those 6 include Pepe and Martinelli.

When Arteta goes the one player I want to go with him is Xhaka.

I wonder how many teams in the Premiership will lose to both Chelsea and Man City this season.
posted on 28/8/21
I’m sure many will lose to Chelsea and city, but not many will lose so pathetically, and not many of those teams will be clubs who supposedly consider themselves one of the biggest clubs in the premiership
