Mikel Arteta, First-Team Manager

[jayramfootball]

Saka is chosen because of his runs. He has to take his chances and fine tune his game, but he's the one who runs at players and plays forward ( same w/ ESR).

Looks like he needs a rest to me. Played lots of football lately

He was excellent today - read some of the laughable comments on here and was shocked at first, then just laughed.
His running off the ball was brilliant - he ran the defence ragged, pulling them all over the place.
His retention of possession, protecting the ball superb.
He drew fouls all game - Villa targeted him.

He missed a good chance - that's where people will focus, I guess.

Small factoid. Wenger won the double during that period and Arteta finished eighth.

And Wenger gave us the best football the club has ever seen. Meanwhile Arteta breaks records for fewest shots and goals etc.

I was just pointing out that the apparently worsesesest manager of all time who allegedly knows less about football than some randoms on a forum has reached 50 wins faster than any other Arsenal manager except GG.

I guess if one so awful can have one of the all time best win rates as an Arsenal manager, it kind of suggests that managers are indeed not very important.

I’d like to compare the 49 games Wenger went unbeaten with Arteta’s first 49 games. You know, your type of selective time period analysis.

Why would you have to take the greatest PL unbeaten run in history as a comparison the worsesest manager eva!
Surely anything would do.

That achievement in isolation means nothing. Winning a load of dead games against dead teams while not presenting a style of play and without knowing which players he should play is the other side.

Wenger took the hit of results while trying to create a style of play, Klopp did the same. The fruit of both of their labour was there to see. 2 seasons on and an 8th place finish later nobody has a freekin clue what Arteta is trying to do - apart from spend his way into finding a system that works. Any fool can do that. Beating a bunch of teams we should be beating 9 times out of 10 doesn't convince me a corner has been turned, we drew with Brighton and C Palace and played shit in both games.

2nd fastest to 50 having spent the most money and played the shittest football is no great achievement.

11 of those wins have come against Utd, City, Spurs, Liverpool and Chelsea.
Oh, and most of the money he spent this year did not factor into his first 50 games.
The goal was reached after the Spurs game.

It is what it is.
I am still wondering how such an awful manager could have won 50 games faster than every other manager in Arsenal's history bar GG.

Europa League. Pointless and shit playing against literal pub sides.

But let's use the wins we have against these very same pubbers to big up arteta getting to 50 wins pretty quick

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you jay.

Thanks for the concession, finally.

As expected, doesn't understand the history of the football club if you look down on any European competition
