Mikel Arteta

We can easily avoid relegation without scoring Aussie.

24 0-0 draws should easily see us to safety.

I’m really enjoying the excitement of the relegation battle in recent weeks.

Swiss Twitter account, yet no mention of Xhaka.

I’d say the inexplicable recruitment policy covers that.

He’s right this time tho.

@BigWeng_4LYFE why are you defending Arteta? :joy:

Cuz in my honest opinion the performances have actually improved. I was giving Arteta so much shit over the summer, but when we thoroughly outplayed Chelsea in that FA cup I tipped my hat to him. We’ve not played that way in a very long time until recently. He’s figuring it out very slowly.

Improvement? It’s negligible.

In that game the chances he’s talking about came at what 93 plus minutes?

Everton allowed us the ball because they know we will do Jack shit with it, if that’s what you call improvement then maybe it’ll set us in good stead when we’re trying to bounce back to the PL

So what’s the next Pro-Arteta defence piece from The Athletic gonna be in the next few days then. Clowns.

Nobody listens because its, to be frank, bullshit. Teams allow us to have possession and of course someone eventually decides to shoot with that possession. But we don’t create proper chances and get smacked the other way.

8 losses in our opening 14 league games.

That isn’t bad luck, Mikel.

They have never defended him? Lol

That’s a pathetic excuse.
We’re losing to everyone, not just Everton.
The performances are the worst of almost any club in the PL and the players don’t want to play for him.

If we were outplaying the opposition and having twenty or more shots a game, then I might agree with him.
But we have scored something like two goals from open play, in about fifteen hours.

How has he conned the media for so long?
They can’t all be spurs supporters.

I will say we probably didn’t deserve to lose to Everton, game probably deserved to end all square.

In football, unless there was a serious officiating error, the end result is always the right one.

My fear is that there’s no time for that. Maybe I’m just reactionary because we could be 17th soon but still, this is getting embarrassing.

I can see what you mean in a way, our inability to get players in dangerous positions on the end of decent balls is our own doing.

Our inability to defend a corner was our own doing.

We were seriously unlucky with the Luiz shot not going in but yeah.

Well I’d always want AMN ahead of Bellerín, but I’m not seeing any kind of improvement at all. I honestly think that this performance, in terms of chances created, ranks as one of the worst this season. I’d have to check tomorrow.

But anyway, I don’t think it matters, in a completely dysfunctional team, who’s on the pitch. The team is just as shit with Partey on the pitch too. Willian is an upgrade, who has qualities none of the others have, and the attack is worse despite this.

Get this shitter out of here. Zero ideas, zero player management skills, no eye for talent, leans on mediocre yes-men and scrubs, no tactics, no self-awareness and no solutions. The best thing about this guy is his jacket game.

Doesn’t this just sum it up. Mikel needs to go but he isn’t the only one. Bleak times for this club moving forward tbh
