Mikel Arteta, success or failure? - Merged thread.

[Arsenal Till I Die]

Should have been sacked at Christmas when we lost 5 on the bounce.

[Natural Born Gooner]

He's a shiteberg manager!

The apologists will say he got us to a European semi final as some kind of justification conveniently ignoring the fact that we played absolute second and third rate teams all the way through. Practically scraping through the knockout stage bar one game.

Scandalous that our great club is being allowed to wither away in the manner that it is.

If a crowd had of been in tonight then I think this would of been Captain Blacks Walsall moment.

Well, the experiment didn't work out. Thank you for a lovely little FA Cup win. Still won more trophies than Pochettino.
My advice to Arteta is;
Learn from this time at Arsenal. Go elsewhere, preferably Spain, Portugal, win a couple of league titles then come back in a few years when you can handle a club like The Arsenal.

[OneBardGooner]

1,000% CORRECT.

This has to be a watershed moment. Even the cùnt that owns our club and his cùnt offspring that runs it cannot let it continue as it is. It's not only the fact that we were eliminated but also the way we were eliminated.

I fully expect the announcement thanking Arteta for his services in the next few days.

[rodders999]

We are devastated. We had so much enthusiasm and desire to be in that final.

Fuck me he’s gone full blown Wenger mental

The two biggest faults with the team last night (and most of the season for that matter) is a complete fucking lack of enthusiasm and desire.

FUCK OFF

People will point to the lack of squad quality but this is still a squad that should be top 6. He has contributed to the lack of balance in it with signings like Willian and Partey. Two of the worst signings in our history. Arteta is the tinker man. Much of the positive side of things has been good fortune like ESR which was forced on him. The bloke is incapable of looking beyond reputations when picking his teams. That is why we get Willian, Partey, Leno and Bellerin when we all know they have been shite for a while. An experienced head would cut through reputation and pick on form. Arteta is so far out of his depth even the Lifeboat wouldn’t bother to go out to save him. Would be a waste of precious resource. Sack the prick pronto and let’s start planning for next year.

[subtleasaheadbutt]

Tbh I don't want mickey sacked. If he goes it means that kse is still not really thinking of selling. Why would they pay him out 5mil or so if in a few weeks this shit show is not there problem

[g88ner]

It’s impossible that he keeps his job after this shambles of a season.

In fact, Edu should go too surely?

The 2 of them have done a horrendous job this season and literally nothing they’ve done has worked.

Where the hell do we go from here though? changing manager from Wenger to Emery to Arteta hasn’t helped, neither has the host of changes in directors of football and CEOs. Obviously we need continuity, but how do you achieve that when we can’t get any appointments right? Utter mess.

[Natural Born Gooner]

Has he fucked off yet?
