Mikel Arteta, success or failure? - Merged thread.

[Red Army 2]

Artetas main failings are the players hes brought in

Havertz, Merino, Zinchenko, and sterling on loan.....all shit

[BFG4]

The club have released a video on twitter presented by our captain invisible showing how we're getting on in Dubai
We only just got knocked out of the league cup in one of the weakest limpdick performances in recent memory and we signed no one in the window but let's see how our pampered useless shites are getting on in their mini holiday
Talk about tonedeaf, no wonder this season is heading down the shitter

[Gunner Rob]

Just fucking embarrassing that we are on holiday whilst all around us the main clubs are focusing on trying to win trophies.

You would have thought that the club would want to keep their heads down this week.

[SteveO 35]

Apparently we are "bringing the energy" in Dubai. Yeah lap it up you bunch of cowardly c.unts. Didn't see much of that energy on Weds night did we

[Gunner Rob]

Just one more thing necessary to post on this thread:

FUCK OFF NOW!!!

[Red Army 2]

So our only striker...who is not really a striker is out...leaving us with no recognised striker

Over playing Saka in every game, how many times when we had a game won was there a chance to bring him off arteta declined

Not convinced on ingame management and substitutes let alone the new players being bought ( either friends or players he knows, preferably spanish)

Yes he has an enthusiam for the Arsenal but having £7 million a year sort of helps that.....

Sad to say the assessment being he has made too many mistakes and unable to take us any further

[OneBardGooner]

I don't know if this is True or a Wind-Up...


But this Channel are claiming that TH14 has joined Arsenal as Arteta's Assistant Coach!?

Arsenteta has to go. HAS TO GO. He was schooled today by the fucking ghost of Alan Curbishley ffs.

Reminds me exactly of where we were in about 2010ish with a decent team if everyone is totally fit and on form but fucking nothing beyond that because the manager is a fucking idiot. Wafer thin squad of dross, shit tactics, an injury crisis every five minutes of the manager's own making, constant fucking excuses, stubborn, delusional refusal to accept that he might be the biggest problem, players played into ground until broken for months on end, woeful in the transfer market, atrocious tactics that can only be overcome through an individual player having a world-class run of form or playing for a transfer, no decisiveness when it's obvious things aren't working, seemingly no accountability from anyone at the club, money wasted on shit midfielders, absolutely dire style of slow, turgid, repetitive play that fails to challenge any half-organised defence, no culture of winning things in the squad and for some fucking unknown reason, some fucking cúnts in the stands still thinking this is all OK. It took another eight years before it ended when we were last about here. We should have fucked that stupid cúnt out the door in about 2009. Let's not fucking wait until it's that bad again. Get him gone this summer because we all know how this is going to go over the next year to 18 months and I can't be fucking bothered with all that again.

Seriously...how much to buy xavi alonso out of leverkusen

They will obviously have to leave the announcement until the end of the season but they need to line up a successor now. His ratio of one trophy in what will soon be six seasons is pitiful. I can't think of any other Arsenal manager in my lifetime who has been indulged so long without winning things.

Billy Wright - sacked after 3 years
Bertie Mee - double-winning and Fairs Cup winning manager, but left 5 years after his last trophy
Terry Neill - sacked four years after winning his only trophy
Don Howe - sacked after two years
George Graham - won two titles and several cups, but dodgy dealings gave the board cover when his team became stale
Brue Rioch - one year man
Arsene Wenger - stayed on far too long, but still won 3 FA Cups in his last 5 years.
Unai Emery - 18 months, during which time he got us to a European final. Why was he given so little time when the dud we now have has now gone nearly 5 years without a sniff of a trophy??!!

[OneBardGooner]

He HAS To GO!


I'm having Nightmares of those latter years of Wenker all over again.

He'll go to CHEATY mate

[Perryashburtongroves]

Would be top pick for me this summer. Him or that Bournemouth one. Feels like Alonso will end up being the Klopp that we should have had in 2010 or 2011 when we should have fucked Wanker out of the door but didn't. He'll end up at Real Madrid or possibly Bayern Munich within the next six months and we'll have the part-time Etsy art student fucking things up for years to come.

[Bob Bayliss]

Top pick for me would be Diego Simeone, all day.
