I'm very close to that stage. Arteta has a lot to learn and it may take a 5-10 years to find his level.

the manager is the focal point and spearhead of a team. a good manager can be getting a lot more out of these players and should be fighting for top 4 with this bunch.
even if we missed top 4 by a point or 2 we should be right in the mix until the end. an average manager like emery managed that but arteta has been disastrous so far.

Not sure why many never rated Tuchel. Always thought he would have been the best option for us.

At the time he didn’t have as much experience compared to a few others. It was just the German Domestic Cup to his name and at the time we were looking for a Wenger replacement. I wanted someone with experience of winning league titles and cups. We went with Uani instead.
As said, today is a different story. If we're going to back a coach with funds, at least back someone credible. At the moment we're all hoping Arteta turns into a great coach when it may just be an excellent assistant coach somewhere else.

That's so true and why wouldn't we? Chelsea and United get rid of managaers to keep the in CL and challenging. Rodgers was floated at the time and I thought 'no' we need somebody better. LOL at me. We're are so far away from where we were, we look back and wonder. HIndsight is wonderful.

Things have changed so quickly. Our standards have dropped.
We were playing Chelsea in the Europa League final not so long ago and they're now in the Champs League final whilst we're midtable and looking at life without Europe if we don't win tonight.
