So how is this clown still here?
such a shit comparison.
emery took over from wengers trash who were still decent going forward. Arteta had to take over from ball to kolasinac and cut back predictable strategy + 3 billion shots on target for opposition.
Let's not forget emery hadn't fukin clue how to set teams up and had to keep changing it in the second half. You'd understand 2-3 times, but man was doing it for about 20 games in a row. at some point i started to think it was deliberate and of course lets not forget how both auba and laca were massively overperforming from the scraps of chances they got. It's all leveled out now, but emery was beyond lucky to get that many points.
Arteta has been beyond lucky to get quite a few points too, we’ve scraped results in games we could just easily have lost, you can’t make a case against one and not look at the other in the same way.
Arteta actually has put very few decent performances out, most of the games have been very narrow wins.
In short Arteta has been absolutely awful almost all the time since he arrived, we’re no languishing where we are in the table for no reason.
Arteta inherited a worse mess than Emery did and Arteta has the better squad.
I feel far more confident of our defending under Arteta, not even close, can't say I was overly confident of our attacking under Emery so not much of an advantage over Artea. Overall, for me, my confidence is far higher with Arteta than it was with Emery because of that defensive capability, it keeps you in the match in tight games.
Maybe but not scoring goals means you won't win many.
Ignoring all this though, I don't see anything about Arteta that is going to launch us up the table and get us challenging, there's nothing unique, nothing special it's boring, monotonous play that's means every game is hard work. even if we improve a bit this guy is not going to take us where we want to be that's for sure so I'd rather we cut our losses and let someone else have a go.
The guy makes nonsensical decisions week in week out and that's not the sign of a good coach, also look where we are in the table, it's a disgrace to be honest, we were pretty low last season under him too, I've seen zero progression since last season, if anything we've gone backwards as we now can't score against anyone but sunday league teams.
I agree it went wrong with Emery but I never thought he got the players, in his fist season we scrimped and he had little to work with, in the 2nd season there was Pepe and Luiz which was ok but we never got a decent CB (well we did but loaned him back and still won't play him now). Arteta has a lot more to work with, Gabriel, Partey and of course Saliba if he hadn't cut him out completely.
