Mikel Arteta, First-Team Manager

[DiamondGooner]

This isn't on Arteta, this was on the players downing tools too much cruising on one goal.

Poor mentality is what that is.

Someone ask him what he says at half time cos we look shit after it

We were the same under Emery. Often taking the lead then coasting second half only to be caught out in the final 15 mins.

Liverpool
Man City

Coming up

Feel good factor gone

Arteta gets through this unscathed and he should be knighted

Will be good exercise for next season. Tough games makes you grow quickly.

[Goonerz]

We really have a good stable manager in Arteta.
I just hope the board backs him and gets him the type of players he wants.
I am very impressed by the way we defend, close down and more solid as a unit. The squad quality is not that great but you can see how Arteta has motivated and squeezing as much out of them as possible.

There's no evidence the board has either the ambition or the resources to back Arteta in the summer. We may bring one player in on a permanent basis and loan a couple more. We shouldn't expect a big transfer window.

Unless Arteta can work wonders with the players we have, we should get used to the idea that this season is the new normal for Arsenal.

What incident was he talking about when they should have a red?

[Zenith]

↑ I think he's referring to the incident in the 42nd minute where Evans kicked Laca's achilles to pulp.

Having just rewatched it, it seemed clumsy rather than malicious, so I don't think it was a certain red card, but not even a booking?

If the ref is giving Evans the benefit of the doubt by not awarding a card, why not be consistent and do the same with Nketiah by sticking with his initial yellow?

Isn't he talking about Vardy kicking Mustafi in the face?

Vardy kicking Mustafi in the face was completely accidental

100% agree

[VCC]

If we had taken our chances the referee decisions wouldnt have mattered, and for the record imo he got both decisions right

[Jedi]

Vardy kicking Mustafi in the face was completely accidental

So was Nketiah's dangerous play.

And it's not like Vardy fell and hit Mustafi. At the very least he went for the ball, same as Nketiah. Or it was intentional.

[DiamondGooner]

Exactly right ............. "We have to learn to kill the opposition".

Way too many times we make tight games even tighter just because we take our feet off the gas.

Even DT said it on AFTV exactly what I said, once we scored we took 5 steps back cruising on the lead and let Leicester take over the game.
