Things look much better for Arteta.
So far, we only lose points to City, Chelsea, Brentford, Brighton and Palace. The last three are not supposed to get any points from us and it looked bad at the time, but right now it looks better because we can say that all three of them are having a good season so far.
Still not convinced by Arteta though. His preferred team (Ramsdale, Tomiyasu etc) haven't taste any defeat yet. Let's see whether he can lift up his boys in a bad time.

I totally disagree. Dropping points to Chelsea and City, fair enough, but to Brentford and Brighton, get outta here, Crystal Palace I am willing to compromise.

We are Arsenal FC, people need to remember that, the run of results at the beginning of the season are unacceptable and people claiming some great performance by Arteta just because we are simply beginning to do what we SHOULD be doing at a minimum need to remember who we freekin are!!

I mean, scraping wins past Burnley and Norwich is no reason for celebration ffs.

JHC.- no team ever thrashes smaller teams week in week out. What are you talking about??
Brentford drew with Liverpool as did Brighton.
We're on a run of 6 wins and 2 draws HH - that is good in every which way you cut it.
If you are waiting for us to brush aside every smaller team every time we play them then you'll be waiting forever - and you've NEVER seen it happen in our history.

Man City drew/lost to Leicester (only including this because they got battered), Leeds (D/L), West Brom, and Brighton last season.
Bayern drew/lost to Bremen, Union Berlin (D/D), Bielefeld, Mainz, and Freiburg last season.
2019-20 Liverpool drew/lost to Watford and Burnley.
2018-19 Man City drew/lost to Wolves, Palace, and Newcastle.
The centurion Man City side drew against Palace, Burnley, and Huddersfield.
The centurion Real Madrid side drew/lost to Levante, Racing Santander, and Malaga.
Even the mighty Invincibles drew to Portsmouth (x2), Leicester, Everton, and Spurs.

Plenty of league winning sides have dropped points where they had no business doing so.

I think you're slightly misunderstood my point. I said we are not supposed to lose points to Brentford, Brighton and Palace. And you're right. The performances are still not good enough. We need to be more consistant. The last two games were good, but we never know what will happen next game, even against weaker team like Watford.

Good point on the sideways passing….that drive us all mad and seems to have been abandoned. He obviously bought into for a long time, as he oversaw a lot of it, so wonder how/why the tactic was abandoned?

1. No Xhaka in the squad

2. Arteta was in a last chance saloon with that awful start to the season.

I want to see performances where we play good and cohesive football for at least 75 mins of a game, even our recent victories you can say we played well for a 20 min period only.

That's true. We should be more consistant. Should be able to play well for most of the game and should be able to do that for 15-20 games this season. The last two games is a good start. Long may it continue.

Oh, and at t this moment I give Arteta a 5. And that's for in game management only. I still have doubts in other area such as team management etc.

Ole might be getting the sack. He finished 2nd in the league last season, got his team to a European final, are just 3 points behind us with a better goal diff. The jury is still out for me on Arteta. We have some winnable fixtures coming up, let's see where we are after those and what our performances are like.

[Highbury Hillbilly]

With Utd and Leicester floundering, Top 6 is a must get. West Ham's form will revert to the mean unless they spend big in Jan.

This is the best shot at Top 4 we've had in some time.

[theHotHead]

So was this significant improvement under Arteta only against kack teams then ??? Cos we are still getting slapped up shit Wenger style !!

I see no improvement on the 2017-18 season.

[Arsenal Tone]

75%

[theHotHead]

He doesn't have my support because he has done f**k all to warrant it. Pointless mid-season runs mean nothing at all, we are still as far from being competitive as we have ever been. Getting our arses handed to us by Liverpool is proof of that
