Do you think it is possible Arteta is suffering from trying to implement a Pep like system when that in itself seems to be handled much better by opponents these days..Ah yes, the Charity Shield we qualified for only because Man City weren't able to play against themselves in that match.
I think he's suffering from thinking Gabby Jesus and Kai Havertz are a title winning front line.Do you think it is possible Arteta is suffering from trying to implement a Pep like system when that in itself seems to be handled much better by opponents these days..
Genuinely curious.
Look pretty stupid now dont youArteta has played a B team against an in-form Palace's A team. Arsenal will lose. We aren't winning the league, not good enough for the CL. Twat.
Unless I'm suffering from a crisis of memory did we not turn the game around once Arteta put some of the big guns on? Odegaard in particular was transformative.Look pretty stupid now dont you
Brings back memories.
State sponsored by proxyRwanda receives billions in foreign aid. How can it justify sponsoring Arsenal???
We are the highest scoring team in England across all competitions. Last season and the season before were our highest ever PL scoring seasons. Yet apparently Arteta can't coach an attack.Arsenal are the 1st Top Division English side to score 5 or more goals away from home 6 times in a calendar year.
Undoubtedly Arteta will be claiming that as a trophy.
I think the issue is we're a bit streaky. We will spank a couple of teams but then fail to convert in key games. Last season, Villa at the Emirates, we should have been 3 or 4 up by halftime yet we didn't convert, they get a couple of goals on the break and we finish 2nd. This season, Fulham away, Partey misses an absolute sitter. Chelsea away, Martinelli misses an easy chance at the end. Everton at home, just can't score.We are the highest scoring team in England across all competitions. Last season and the season before were our highest ever PL scoring seasons.

City fans won't accept Arteta, but the rest of what you say makes sense - all I'll add though is when you spend big money and get paid millions a year the expectation is you win things. End of. That's why the salary is so big. Doesn't matter if City are the competitor- you get a big transfer kitty and get paid millions a year to solve that issue. So Arteta does need to win something.Ridiculous the criticism Arteta gets from our own fan base. I've always said, if this fanbase ever pushes Arteta out, we will slide down the table. We were banter when he first joined, and now we compete at the top end. Doing well in all competitions, although could do better in the league.
If we were ever stupid enough to bin Arteta, he would be the next Manchester City manager (Pep would lobby the Man City brass for Arteta as his replacement and they would listen to him). We would 'go and get Zidane, Alonso, Ancelotti but Zidane only wants France and never wants to live in England, Alonso is going to Madrid, and Carlo is likely to retire or move into international football. We would then nosebleed a De Zerbi appointment and call it 'ambition'.
Who needs enemies when you have a faction of your fanbase plotting your destruction from within.
What benefit is there for Arsenal in sacking Arteta in current circumstances and 'trying' a new manager. Best case scenario we continue to compete for the league which is what we are doing now, worst case scenario we appoint a dud and slide down the league. Its the equivalent to flipping a coin to win 1 pound but having a 10 pound liability in you lose. The risk-reward is skewed overwhelmingly to the bad side.City fans won't accept Arteta, but the rest of what you say makes sense - all I'll add though is when you spend big money and get paid millions a year the expectation is you win things.

We do have a chance though. I think the league will be a stretch but the League Cup is the lowest hanging fruit. I also think in the CL, over 2 legs we'd be a nightmare draw for any team and whilst we aren't favourites, I'd fancy us against anyone. We'll probably win our last 2 games and finish 2nd or 3rd - nightmare scenario though is that means we'd play the winner of the play off between a decent side and a side that just scraped into the play offs and the way things are going that could be Man City who become the 'shit' play off side, but by that stage of the season will have gotten their act together and be an altogether more scary opponent.
You'll be saying Saka who as Jesus discovered his scoring boots for the next 6 games before he loses them again.Saka has a grade 2 hamstring tear. No idea how long that means he'll be out for but doesn't sound like good news.
Another one, who has played too much football over recent years,with very little rest.Saka has a grade 2 hamstring tear. No idea how long that means he'll be out for but doesn't sound like good news.
3 weeks usually but in that cunts case 3 days.Saka has a grade 2 hamstring tear. No idea how long that means he'll be out for but doesn't sound like good news.
He will miss the Christmas and new year games. Should be targeting the NLD on the 17th JanuarySaka has a grade 2 hamstring tear. No idea how long that means he'll be out for but doesn't sound like good news.
