We all think ESR should be given a go, well a vast majority anyway, he was sublime for half a season and was leading scorer in till an injury, doesn't mean he can't regain that form.

I think in the main Arteta has done well, some of his decisions though are baffling but I would probably say that about every manager.

Anyhow looking forward to next season and if we can buy well in the summer there's no reason why we can't win something.

Watch him fly at Fulham
Well he couldn't run around for more than 50 mins for us so that would be a massive turn around!!

Supremely talented guy who has some issues. I really hope he sorts them out for his career to go forwards.

Given the mess the French waffler left behind, it was always going to take a couple of years and gazillions of Pounds Sterling to disinfect the place. Despite a fairly competitive season, you can still smell the stench he left behind on occasions, evidenced by the fact that the Egyptian Ruud Gullit is leaving 6years after that era ended.
One more season for the Temu Pep to deliver big ears or at least snatch the title from money city.

Original descriptions and very good. Mind you, you'll make some enemies on here with the "Temu Pep" term. :lol:

TBH for me Arteta has far too many flaws the main one being his inability to spot the true talent in our squad.
He only started playing Martinelli once injuries forced him to.
He is vastly overrated by the media.The same media who refer to Chelsea as a big club and who refuse to dwell on Citeh's financial misdemeanours.
Says it all really.

Martinelli had a great game for Brazil.

Running at defenders and scoring.

Arteta is ruining the lad.

He is on the cusp of being a 90 points a season manager. He have one of the best defence in Europe, which we never used to have when Mustafi and Luiz were joking around at centr half, flanked by Bellerin and Kolasinac.

That part about Martinelli is also rubbish. Who was injured than Arteta forced to play Martinelli? As for Arteta's talent ID. How is it we have surged up the table to have ambitions of winning the title if he was bringing in rubbish players?

Who would you sack him for? Conte?

Can anyone tell me is a "cusp" like a cup or some other trophy? :rubchin:

Can't wait until the elite managerial genius Arteta adds some cusps to all the other trophies he has won over the last 5 years.

Could we maybe get a cusp for our world beating "out of possession" stats? :D :wink:
