From Arteta on the bbc…"“We reacted really well. We dominated the game. We created enough chances at least to not lose. We hit the bar. We don’t have the luck.”
Is this bloke for feckin real…To quote the late great Peggy…“Get outa my club”
He’ll almost definitely give us a first game bounce that might go on for a few more crucial games.
We’ll be a laughing stock from shitty ass Liverpool and Man United fans, but we’ll survive the season and maybe get a better manager in over the summer
Seriously tho, today gave me some hope. You are 100% right about the youth cuz today was our europa league team for the most part. Arteta is a dumb ass and he is still picking Willian for some insane fucking reason.
He HAD to drop Xhaka. He also HAD to drop Bellerin, shit forgot he was banned so I dunno maybe Arteta is gonna be a fucking moron and go back to him. But regardless our Europa league team has been so much better. If he can stick by this and keep AMN playing, Willock, bring Nelson back in, and start using ESR and Gabi consistently yeah we are gonna finish maybe like 10th or so.
Is that what he actually said? The guy is so deluded, no wonder he keeps doing the same stuff over and over and over again. That is not what you want from a manager man, he will never ever make it.
Honestly I’ve never seen somebody with such an awful taste in football players as Arteta.
Guy is a complete idiot in judging ability.
Wanted Cedric, Mari and Willian. Benches AMN for Bellerin.
Sends Ozil to the shadow realm for what.
Saliba banished to U23s’ for Holding (who gets the captaincy!!!)
Guendouzi kicked out.
Xhaka made a cornerstone of his team and rescued from the exit door.
Aubameyang shunted out wide for a real life oompa loompa.
You got two strikers with potential coming out the academy. One screams decent bench option and the other shows signs of being a top drawer ST in bags of confidence rn.
He plays the bench guy, shunts the other one off to U23s’.
I’ve never seen somebody pick the worse player so many times when given a choice between 2.
EDIT: I just realised I left out the Martinez Leno thing (which I let go because I had faith in this guy) and OFFERING MUSTAFI A NEW CONTRACT
Did you hear what Carragher said during commentary?
“No point sacking him. He needs 3 or 4 windows to get his own players in”
That’s exactly what Neville said about Emery.
These Sky Sports commentators can seriously fuck right off. Their sycophantic bullshit on their media platform where people actually listen to them is foolhardy.
This manager has literally only picked the correct team when the changes have been enforced. It’s just unreal, it’s as if every single player that he doesn’t like are the ones that will give us the best chances of getting a result. He loans out Guendouzi, Torriera, doesn’t even include Sokratis in the squad? And despite having never been Ozil’s biggest fan as you are, not including a player of his creative quality in the squad when he can’t figure out a way to get this team to create fuck all otherwise is criminal.
Even players he doesn’t like such as Pepe who aren’t perfect are nonetheless performing better and showing much more end product than Willian, who basically looks like he’s being paid by Chelsea to sink us. I can’t believe the decisions this guy has continued to make.
Yeah but the big difference to me is that AMN and Pepe combine really well on that right hand side and AMN is miles better than Bellerin. When Bellerin plays all our attack comes down the left and we are insanely easy to defend. AMN making penetrating runs from deep is a big deal, that’s how we won our peno, and we usually don’t touch the ball inside our opponents penalty box . Only he, Saka, and Tierney seem capable of doing so.
Ditto, mistakes happen all the time, you fix it promptly and sharply (When there’s enough time in the season to salvage something) and get back on track. Our men can’t even acknowledge they might of made an mistake, we’re screwed.
I can seriously see Arteta being here until our Europa games.
