Arteta is to blame, we’ve had the same thing all season and he’s on charge, if we’d fail to win after laying siege on their goal then fine you could say it wasn’t unlucky for the manager, truth is we struggled to create decent chances, the managers tactics were wrong.
The guy is hopeless and is a big reason for our failure, he did the same last season in the league and EL, we got knocked out because he couldn’t get things right.
Players take some blame, but in the end it’s the manager that picks the teams, tactics, subs, he also implements his style of play.
It’s all been dreadful since the day he arrived, he’s a failure as a manager and no team can perform with a manager who isn’t good at what they do.
No, It hasn't.
It has for me, results have largely been poor other than the odd short spell, football is boring, yes there’s been the odd good game but it’s been the anomaly rather than the norm.
Arteta was an assistant manager, he’s not a manager you can see that as he’s done a terrible job of it, that’s why we’re in our worst position for 25 years.
He’s a problem we need to get rid of, he got the job based on some unfounded hype.
[b]I preferred Emery to this guy and Emery wasn’t right and got the sack, he also schooled him with an inferior team over two legs.
Just shows how poor Arteta is really. You can blame the players all you like but the manager choose who he wants to bring in, picks the team, motivates the players, set the tactics, organised training and makes the subs, so he has a big say in what happens on the pitch.[/b]
When you struggle to put a run of more than two games together almost all season it points to poor management and some of his decisions (Martinelli, Saliba to name but two) show this.
The cup win last season papered over the cracks
Sums it up nicely for me as well, he is a clown and has to go, WTF some people still stick up for him amazes me.
