Arteta hasn't been condemned after 2 games, the club chose to employ someone with no experience, some chose to judge him in the same way they would any manager they would expect to come in at that stage of the season, given our position people would have expected a new manager to come in and turn results around, that's the standard bar to measure a manager, this isn't a pet project where we employ a youth coach and give him all the time in the world, that's what small clubs with few resources do.
Ancelotti and Mourinho have both done that, if you're good enough there's no reason why you can't and yet Arteta seems to get a free pass. As I said the club chose the manager not the fans, so he should be judged on what we needed at the time and that wasnt a project that will take 3 years to start to see rewards from. Now obviously I wasn't expecting him to change everything and suddenly turn us into world beaters, but I did expect us to win more games and start to show signs we're turning a corner, instead we've picked up 8 points out of 21 which is a very poor points total so far, we've struggled for goals even more than before and have largely looked unconvincing in games.
Arsenal fans have had to wait for 15 years now, are they just going to keep waiting and accepting this for another 10, or are they going to start raising the bar rather than lowering it because the club wants it that way?
