Two extremes here.... he is a shite manager, or he is the bestest in the whole world.
The realistic view is he is a flawed manager that has built a good first 11, but a wafer thin poor squad, and has the team on a great run. But for me, that's all it is, a great
run. We have won nothing so a couple of you need to pull your knickers back on.
If we collapse in the run in again this season then he will have proven he is not up to the job. If he gets us second place I'd say he has earned the right to stay, given that the league this season seems a dead cert to go to manchester cheateh through financial corruption or the victims through VAR and refereeing corruption (again).
I'm enjoying this run of wins, and both Arteta and the players take great credit for that. But I have to be honest, we are literally one or two key injuries or one or two poor managerial decisions away from nosediving. The squad is that thin in quality.
Also, I'm starting to get the impression that fivetothree has snuck back on here with a new username......
Spot on analysis in my opinion. Balanced and sensible, which means it shouldn't be allowed anywhere near this forum.
Even the last sentence makes sense, although I suspect that Viv is actually Wilson's alter ego.
Why you little cock pussy! He would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for those pesky kids.
I think Wilson is a mental. But it takes all sorts. He simply ignores questions put to him and answers those that haven't been asked. Plus I think he has a hard on for de zerbi given how much he mentions him and his dislike. No problem with that either. Each to their own.
Would be good to answer augies questions though, although fiveforviv, I mean viv Anderson tache did and if alter ego I guess Wilson has roundabout answered them.
Nutty as ever pops up when we do well and has a pop at others and the forum (much like the brexit...!) Disappears when going gets tough like the run in last year and pretends his previous eulogising never happened. Comparisons to the invincibles...honestly.
Yes it's great we have beaten utter shite and victims in the last few games. But what about the 3 before new year. Let's see how we do come season end as many of us said before making huge judgements. Not bringing the awful (we all called ot) zinchenko back in for the improving kiwior will be a sign. Hes failing on the viera over esr one, esr is 10 times the potential player viera is.
We have a very good first xi minus striker (as ever some only think to the last few results...when we have 1 or 2 chances a game is when we need that striker) but as dB says thr squad is waifer thin. Saliba injury fcks us again as does a rice one.
Top 3 close to first and big gap to 4th acceptable as long as we get sf or very least qf of CL.
I make this basis on that the league is shite, bar ourselves city and victims, so a big gap to 4th is the bare minimum and we should be easily in cl qfs if not semis.
Scum rebuilding, united all over the place, headchopeprs suffering 2nd season syndrome and Chelsea a basket case. They will all get better at some point. Really last 2 years have been a free shot.
