Never seen a player cliff edge as much as Odegaard this season. He hasn’t had a single decent performance all year and gets worse game on game.
While I will agree that there is a small element of truth to your statement rodders, if you cast your mind back you will remember that a lot of what he is being slated for is the same things I slated him over 18 months ago - he delay's moving the ball, spends too much time twisting and turning and going fcuking nowhere, and he is slowing down our attacks more than any other player on this team. You ask any winger from any team from any era, and every single one of them will tell you that they thrive on getting the ball early before the defence gets a chance to get into position - he doesnt supply quick ball. You ask any pacy winger from any team in any era and they will tell you that they want space so that they can run at and past their full back opponent - captain invisible spends his time hiding on the wings and crowding the space that our wingers need. The commentators spoke during the game about our need to make that one big (striker) signing next summer to turn us into champions, but imo we also need a genuine creative centre midfielder or a creative player to play in the 10 cos neither rice nor captain invisible have enough creativity imo
There is perhaps a slight chance he could get sacked - and that is because we are so poor right now.
If we continue to lose, lose.lose then I think even the biggest Arteta fans might turn - but it will need a really bad run of results to do that.
merse has just said on ssn that he cant see us winning even 6 games from our last 12 league games - normally I dismiss him cos he is a total moron, but as he said, how can you win games if you cant create chances ??
He's got to go at the end of the season. No way this should be tolerated any longer and if it is, next season could be a bloodbath.
Not a chance he will go.
And we will spend accordingly to achieve another top 4 finish
I know, it will take a proper civil war to get him to go and not many of us have the energy left to go through all that again. The problem is the lack of high expectations and the abject acceptance of not winning things that means nothing changes. Some fucking idiots seem to be happy not winning anything. All those fucking ones that defender Wanker for a decade of complete shit.
even BBC quoting we have no recognised striker ....
Ridiculous arteta totally at fault.....pig headed ego mad and obstinate.....
beyond belief now......
Mikel Arsen Teta son of Arsene wenker
think the merino debacle sums arteta up.... all that shit about how hes great in training as a striker
hes deluded...has limited abiity as a coach and hes a novice...this is time to go
Yep. Been found out now. No excuses, had a chance to move the squad forward last summer, the year before and last month but didn't do it. Now, too limited a coach to get anything out of a disjointed, toothless squad of midfield journey men and chav cast-offs. Fucking disgraceful. Modern-day Brenda from the dippers. Has to go.
We’ve had 2 games in the last 17 days. We went to Dubai to refresh yet we still look absolutely fucking gassed. What the fuck is he doing to them in training.
The supposed week’s R&R in Dubai saw Havertz in a hospital under the knife. There was talk of high intensity pressing drills. Rice had to be scraped off the pitch today when he was subbed off.
2 hamstring injuries that required surgery,Martinelli also out with a hamstring and an ACL. He’s fucking killing them in training and overplaying them in games.
Abysmal squad management, bigger self harder than Wenger.
