Its because you have the patients of a 5 year old.
We're at the start of a project to get this club back on track, its going to take time, he's still working with the same players, he hasn't even had a transfer yet.
As for these results your harping on about .............. "Arsenal haven't won a game since October, their worst run since 1975" Arteta took over, we have two wins and unlucky draw in our last 3 games.
There's your results difference since Emery so please pipe down ffs.
Arteta has brought in higher standards and expectancy into the team, played one formation so we can begin to perfect it and play our game, put players in their best postions, starting our best players.
.......... we had none of that under Emery, so there's the improvement also.
We've been failing for almost 15 years, 12 years of Wenger relative failure, followed by 18 months of Emery and I'm impatient, please.....
We're not a project club, for me Arteta needed to come in hitting the ground running, that's what I would have expected if we'd got a top manager and just because the club chooses to employ a guy with no experience that's not my problem, he needs to perform.
1 win in the PL with 2 draws and 1 defeat, the win was against Man U where we played well but they are a pretty poor side these days, the draws were pretty poor against Bournemouth who were awful and Palace who had players out, that's not really much of an improvement, like I said 5 out of 12 points, that's under 50% and not a lot better than Emery to be honest.
Higher standards? It's been OK, you'd expect changes from a new manager, but it's been nothing amazing, average results, the team only turning up for 45 minutes, some poor lineups to boot.
If you think this is a project and we're building towards something, then be prepared to be disappointed, I supect this will end like it always does at Arsenal these days, with us failing and evenutally having to start again and once again the cycle will repeat itself, new manager, new project, excuses by Arsenal fans, rinse and repeat, our days of going toe to toe with the big boys are long gone and won't be coming back for a very long time, not with owners that really don't care about what happens on the pitch.
