2024/25 Arsenal Season Analysis

[UFGN]

If he leaves by November, who should be happy. So why worry about Summer recruitments,or lack there of?
Just pull you hatch down,pray fervently that we screw up royally, and he'll be gone.
Your every post for last three years has clearly stated your heartfelt intentions. Getting kind of boring with repeatativeness

He has had everything he wants 30+ of them and we can see where most part they are.
I want him to have every f***ing bit of personal he wants and when he has further failed I'm coming after the W****rs who want to keep backing the self confessed best manager on the planet.
Imagine if he had some actual street scense he would have put his ego aside and highly likely had two EPL and a possible CL, but the c*** ain't that clever

Amen to that. It’s a breath of fresh air to see someone just lay it all out on the table with no filter

You are doing God’s work

My posts have been consistent since the tragedy of 22/23, and the gigantic sums he spent in the summer after. Win something or fk off. I've been an Arsenal supporter too long to not see a pattern forming. Just as Wenger began losing the confidence of his top players, so too will Arteta the longer he goes without silverware. He's already paying everybody £200k+ to get them to keep playing for him. Next summer I expect he won't be able to renew several of them.

It took 5 potless years for Arteta to say we have to win something this year. His brainwashed fanbase will still find excuses for him if he doesn't.

Conte wins another title

The man is a serial winner

[theHotHead]

No way the Club are looking to remove him at the end of this season....and I'd suggest we'd need to be mid table, mid season, next year, before it would be a consideration.

So I can't see the point in relentlessly talking about it....we have to hope we're wrong and that next season, he can find the additions we need to win something....anything!

100% disagree with the part " relentlessly talking about it" no way I am being complacent with something that is clearly holding us backward. Posted many times Arteta failures, sackable offenses, neglectful and self harming decisions. No place in management for any of it

You are both correct in my opinion. Rockape knows Arteta isn't being sacked anytime soon so continually talking about it is a waste of time.

VCC is correct that Arteta has made enough mistakes some of which should be immediately sackable and the pressure should be put on him

Conte wins another title

The man is a serial winner

For a while now I wanted to bring up Contes name.

The year he won the Prem at Chelsea was the year I knew he was the deal (2016/17). They started off with 4 at the back, won their first 3 easy games, then drew with Swansea, lot to Liverpool and got thumped by us at the Emirates which left Conte reeling. I remember him coming out and being brutally honest saying he didn't know what was going on and he needed to get back to basics - words to that effect. And he did. They were a changed team after that, went to 3 at the back.

They won their next 13 games, went top of the table in November and stayed there, winning the title. Classic case of a manager/Head Coach being proactive and who knows what he is doing

Underwhelming campaign at an end

Looking more likely to fall off the title challenge than win it next season barring a summer to end all Summers which won't happen cos Arteta things

Overhaul is needed. Staff and player level

Emperor has no clothes season.

[Losmeister]

Looking at the table...

makes one wistful...

fewest goals allowed
tied for fewest losses with Pool.

2nd best differential.

ALL those f***ing draws due to lack of firepower....

[Marsbar100]

Liverpool gave us chances to close up, I think they would have crumbled if we applied a bit of pressure.

[swipe right]

Ten points off first, nine points off seventh. Don’t believe the hype.

[alexis2015finalgoal]

Wsted season. Too many league draws.
Crap summer window.
POTY - Rice or Saka.

Raya shared Golden Glove.

Odegaard was crap.

M L-S and Nwaneri moved forward and burst onto the scene.

Saka did his thing.

Unexpectedly beat Real Madrid but then folded vs. PSG.

Lost to the worst Man U side in decades in the FA Cup.

Bottled the LC Semi vs. Newcastle with 40 shots on goal and no penetration.

Manager pathetically blamed refs for not winning games.

Didn't beat Everton in the league, and lost to Bournemouth twice.


An average season.
4/10.

And Spurs won something and a European trophy no less. And we all have to take their ribbing and the fact they've won more European trophies than us on the chin. The fact they finished 17th is funny asf, but then they still won something and we didn't.
Total BS.

Shit must change.

The summer window has to be without flaws for us to progress next season.

Or it's just a top four race at best.

The usual suspects will be around the top - Liverpool, ourselves, Man City. Chelsea might improve IF they have a good window and they have CL football. Spurs might be closer to the top six and won't finish 17th again. Man United won't be as crap but still wont be near the top four. And there always is a surprise. Few expected Forest to be up the top this season. who knows who it will be this coming season?

[alexis2015finalgoal]

And Spurs DID have a better season then us.

We were better in the league. We bea them twice and managed them in both games.

We have better players. We have a more tactically astute manager, even though Arteta has his fuck-ups too.

But they won a trophy. And a European trophy that we tried and failed to win lately.

So yeah, they had a better season.

If we can accept that we had a better season than them in 16/17 when they finished second and had Kane, Alli, Dembele and Eriksen, and we won the FA Cup, then we should accept they had a better season this time around.

[alexis2015finalgoal]

This is why fans are part of the issue here,
Wenger won the 1998 double. He also reached 2000 UEFA Cup final and 2001 FA Cup final, and we really should have won both.
Arteta hasn't reached a final since 2020.

Wenger had previous success, and as i remember at the time, few if any said it was positive. Even club simps in the media like Keown would probably look back at that time and say it wasn't acceptable. I'd bet Bergkamp, Henry, Pires, Vieira, etc, probably even Wenger himself, would say the same.
Arteta has no prior league titles, or doubles for that matter. Totally dead comparison.

Bro, shut the f**k up, don't nobody want to listen to your idiocy.

You have the audacity to say "due to a lack of firepower" when you have defended Havertz like he is your lover or summat.

Of those 14 draws and 4 losses Havertz played and started 7 of those draws and 2 of those losses.

[theHotHead]

In isolation SF of the CL and 2nd place isnt a bad season at all. However, when you put the context in, every team bar Liverpool being shite and they were nothing great, the fact we needed a striker to cover the load with Havertz and we didn't bring one in, the change in tactics that rendered Rice, Odegaard and Trossard near useless for large parts of the season, not giving an in form Nwaneri more game time.

All of this could have been avoided and taking the context into account its been a bad season.
