Not surprising the way the club is headed with KSE giving Arteta so much power.

A bigger mistake was his promotion from City cone man to Arsenal coach

Everyone incl Arteta very good at spotting mistakes these days but no one is doing anything about it.

Tbf Arteta in his post match interview always seemed to spot them and say the right thing, he'd just never do anything about it? Maybe I'm misremembering.

I certainly remember being more inclined to give him longer because he seemed to be identifying issues and talking about them well, but now it's just a case of him talking a good game but doing absolutely nothing

Its why Arteta reminds of Gary Neville and why I think he likes him so much. Good at spotting patterns but not very good at analysis.

I just don't understand how he hasn't even got an ounce of ability with it after spending so much time under Pep, I'm sure he also ran some of those sessions himself too.

I would perhaps blame our older players for being such idiots they can't take in new information, but then he's handing Xhaka a new deal and the armband so there goes that theory

No interpersonal skills and terrible judgement.

Seems that way. I remember watching some of their All or Nothing doc and he seemed pretty popular amongst the players, much easier when you're not making the big calls though.

Maybe he's just destined to be a number 2 (lol) and tbh I can't see what kinda job he'd get from here

I have seen it so many times in high net worth individuals. Ego the size of countries with little or no empathy. I really don't think he was all that as a no.2. Was probably the ideas man that needed Pep and other coaches to implement.

It defo looks like he got an over inflated sense of himself from his time at City and the way people talked about it.

I have no doubt he has strengths and abilities beyond most people, but being self aware and playing to those strengths and asking advice on the weaker side isn't one of them. Probably as a rookie coach he can only surround himself with useless coaches anyway.

Well he's got his own players now, no excuses

Unfortunately Xhaka is one of his own players so I think we'll have the same old problems

I think the red lights should have been flashing when he could only hire coaches out of a job or were very young.

Yeah, we need to sign isak

Mourinho's comment, lol

This. Making Arteta manager has meant no one is devoting their full time job to coaching our first team. All the bad habits under Wenger and Emery have returned (they were there most of last season, and a lot of the period after lockdown the season before). I get why Arteta is focused on who we sign, but someone should be focused on getting the most out of the players we have. Everyone is talking about how bad we were against City and Chelsea, but the real crime is no one looked at our fixture list and said no matter what we have to get three points from the game against Brentford. No way our players should have been allowed out to catch Covid in the prior two weeks. We're an amateur organisation again.

Very interesting convo with Ornstein on today’s Arsecast. Explains the relationship between Edu and Arteta. How players are recruited, and who has the final say on them - sounds pretty collaborative tbh.

But Arteta is not going to be sacked anytime soon, unless things start to look very dodgy, by the sounds. This is a long term (by today’s standards) project, and our bad start to the season isn’t about to change opinions at the club over the direction they’re taking.

Lol KSE legit want us to be relegated

HA. So the people around the top echelon think it was a mistake handing Arteta a promotion yet KSE are all steam ahead with Project Dicteta. Nice to see the club working in harmony.

Pretty much.

Apparently, after Raul and Huss Fahmy ‘left’ the club, Edu ‘begged’ KSE to stop messing around with the structure of the club.

According to Ornstein, many people in the game feel there’s a person/position missing in the current structure at Arsenal. All that facking around, and they still haven’t got it right basically.

Yeah, well, I won't say I told you so but I told you so.

Easily solved by bringing Wenger back as Director of football.

Ah yes, who better to clean up Wenger’s mess than Wenger himself. Why did we ever get rid of him.

Its been clear for the last decade that Wenger would make a better DoF than he did manager. Director of football does not buy players, or select teams or tactics. However he does structure the club, hire the manager and the coaches and represents Arsenal in football related meetings. He has a similar role at FIFA.

However I don't think he will come back.

I suspect Arsenal will target Michael Edwards.
