You don't have to trust the process but you have to give it a proper chance once we clear out some trash in the next Summer window.

Which league will we be in by then ?

We may dip into a relegation battle but even you must admit it's extremely unlikely to actually happen.

We need to be patient and show our support as fans as much as possible because these are the players we have for now, hopefully plus one or two in January.

A big player clear out is definitely needed, and no manager will do much with this squad without some good transfer windows. However, what we have isn’t a relegation squad, at worse it’s average with couple of players who would be close to top 4 standard. I can accept not being top 4 during the process of rebuilding but we can’t be hovering above relegation, a good manager would at least have this squad comfortably mid table, not pure relegation form at this point

I really want Arteta to succeed and also understand sacking and hiring managers can just keep putting you back at square one, but if we have the same dismal performance against Burnley I really struggle to see at what point Arteta turns this around and kicks us on. The problems are deeper than the manager but I can’t accept Arsenal hovering above relegation even with this team as being anywhere near good enough

You know if we played good football and we’re still this bad, I’d watch the games. Haven’t seen a full games in weeks because football is so atrocious. How the hell do people watch Allardyce and Pulis’s teams!

Maybe a relegation battle will clear off some of the fair weather fans.

It just takes one win to bring confidence back into the team and then things start to happen again and it feels like we are making progress. Unfortunately confidence can be lost in a second whilst often taking months to return.

I have many frustrations with decisions Arteta is making, honestly feel like a few seasons playing Football Manager could actually teach him a thing or two at times, persisting with Xhaka in a game like this instead of trying the more dynamic and in form Maitland-Niles there (or even Willock) seem ludicrous as does waiting until the 70th/80th minute to make pointless substitutions that do little to change us attacking-wise when we are 2-0 down and need to change the game long before then. I'm also growing more and more concerned about his answers in press conferences, it feels like he's making things up at times because he doesn't have the answers. For example, all his talk about chances created and crosses. Talk to me about the quality of chances we are creating, how many times do we get our best finishers into clear goal-scoring situations? How many clear cut chances do we create? Very, very few.

Despite all that though, he walked into a team in a similar situation last season when Emery was sacked and turned things around so for those saying he has no history or record of steering a ship into smoother waters I disagree. He has earned more time and patience than a lot of our fans are willing to offer him currently.

Support the players, support the manager and support the team and stop wavering so much in that support when we have a bad patch, granted it's been a dismal start to our Premier League season but it's not too late to turn things around yet and we have gotten quite a few tough fixtures out of the way already.

You'll be OK, that Everton game is a guaranteed 3 points, even for you.
