Fun times
I like what Arteta has done so far. But that shouldn’t take away from a broader conversation about performances in games.
I do understand where people are coming from. We have been through this thing with wenger and Emery where these constant poor performances led to most of us saying “Papering over the cracks”.
Reminds me of that 20 or so unbeaten run under Emery. We could all see massive problems in performances but results papered over them. I think Arteta has built a much more convincing defensive foundation right now but these poor / inconsistent performances keep bringing back those memories.
It just takes 1 or 2 defeats and the players confidence tanks again and It’s deja vu over again. We know the fragility of our players.
After all that we have been through under wenger and emery, I can understand why some people are still nervous and sceptical.
