If this is the start of Arteta’s downfall he can’t complain…apart from Rice has he made a good signing? Jesus (scores 5 in 5 then goes missing for a year), Sterling (ineffective), Havertz (good half season but reverted to being a ghost), Zinchenko (liability), Merino (runs around not doing very much) the list goes on…too many Man City and Chelsea rejects in this squad and Kieran Tierney is still playing in 2025.
Eventually running Saka into the ground was going to catch up with him.
Arteta isn’t on the pitch missing the sitters why he is catching strays lol

Because he signed the guys that he supposedly scouted that are missing said sitters. We all saw Havertz stinking up the joint at Chelsea so what possessed Arteta to spend £65m on him?

He probably saw like two of those games max lol
He has to take some of these bullets
Havertz is his guy man, a vanity project that he spent a crap ton on

Arteta is Pep’s disciple they both have big brain syndrome, he brought Kai to play LM because of his pressing and his height, he ended being our main forward wich is a recipe for disaster, football should be more simple, get the guy that scores goals.
I think Arteta is the antithesis to Pep but I get the sentiment
Signing Havertz is fine.
But he had a sample size to see Jesus and Havertz wasn’t going to cut it. It’s quite mad.
These post match interviews where he protects the players by coming out with bullshit are getting old. I get why he does it and why he barely has any choice but to do it… but still shit to watch regardless. “If we play this game 1000 times we lose only 1”. “These players are so so good” etc.
Missed our chances and struggled to break another team down. Lacked spontaneity, drive and quality in the attack. Plain and simple.
Protecting the players but losing the fans and the spirit, that he said was so important for years, by doing so.
No disrespect to the other mods, but if we lose to Spurs on Wednesday I’m unilaterally removing the “Super” from the thread title and then fucking off for a while.

Where’s that sporting director hire at?
Because this dude shouldn’t be the driving force of transfers
Definitely needs to be reigned in
Do it now pls. He doesn’t deserve the “Super” until he wins some meaningful silverware.
I was tempted to earlier but now that you’ve asked it seems petulant and immature again. Let’s see what happens on Wednesday.
Got wenger power twice as quick and with about a tenth of the trophies.

Tbf, he’s won the competition we’re all raging about exiting today.
I shan’t be removing it today. I of all people can’t, considering how strongly I have backed him it would be too much of a headloss to do it tonight.
