Needs investment to build something, depends if he gets it.
It's difficult to tell. Let's no forget that when we were on that 20 game unbeaten run under Emery we thought that he was the real deal too. So this could very well be another false dawn.
On the one hand I am encouraged by Arteta's post match conferences. He is not convinced by this team either and can see its deficiencies.To his credit he has shored up our defence.
I am concerned at how it seems to take us half an hour before we wake up in every game. For the most part our players dwell on the ball for too long, take too many touches and move the ball too slowly . When we break we don't break with any speed or conviction which makes it easy for teams to regroup and defend against us. We don't create many chances and when we do we are quite wasteful.
We are not conceding so many stupid goals but we are not playing attractive football either. This may change when we can field a fully fit and on form team including Bellerin, Pepe, Tierney and Saka. We are still crying our for a Ramsey replacement who can go from box to box and score goals at the end of it. For the time being Willock, Guendouzi, Ceballos, Torreira are definitely not that person.
I am also concerned that we will lose Auba at the end of the season and be left with Laca when it would be far better if the situation was the other way around.
In conclusion, in my opinion it is still too early to tell whether this is the start of something promising or just another false dawn. We will certainly need to spend some money in the summer whatever happens.

Arteta is building a good pension pay out for when he inevitably gets sacked.
Not seeing much energy on the sidelines. This lazy and marginally talented team needs a "kick-ass" manager. I've a feeling that the Gunners will again be searching for a new manager sooner than later!
yes but we must be patient
Been pleased with almost everything I've seen from Arteta so far, changes have been small but noticeable. Will take some time to improve to the level we want to be at and it could stall in that time, but we'll see. Only thing that does worry me is his game management, he doesn't like making early subs and they don't always seem like good changes to me.
Very early to tell could easily go either way. But I think he’ll end up being a successful manager here or elsewhere. You can tell by the way he talks, and the way he was able to get everyone onside despite his very limited experience. He’s not even a legend of the game or particularly of arsenal either so he doesn’t carry the instant air of respect due to his footballing career. My first concern was that our players wouldn’t listen to him, but so far in that sense all the signs are very positive.
But he’s got a way to go to prove himself, players could still easily turn on him if the feel good factor of a new coach wares off combined with poor results. He’ll need backing from the club though as well to be successful. With no investment it’d be hard for any manager to get this squad competing comfortably for top 4
The whole thing is built on rotten foundations. Arteta should call it a day and build a supermarket instead.

Wouldn't go that far but you're right about the rotten foundation of the team currently. And it is why this particular build will fail because either blindly/foolishly or both, built it over a giant sinkhole. A sinkhole guaranteed to collapse as well. It's downright mindboggling insanity. But hey that's fine, nothing expected this season now. So luckily we have the time to indulge this eccentric foolishness, whilst he learns that you never ever knowingly build over a sinkhole.
Or in the Arsenal team's case, you never, ever build around a SINKHOZIL! boom boom tsssh
