This sort of an article is precisely why I believe Arteta won't be sacked even if he finishes 8th for 2.5 seasons in a row. It's written in a way a blogger would explain tactics to his/her reader. I've rarely read such a discription in an official website.
As I've mentioned before, I have no issues if Arteta continues to be Arsenal manager for the next 5 years. However, I do have an issue with the propagandist attempts in making Arteta sound something he's not. If the Arsenal hierarchy want Arsenal to become Everton-under-Moyes, I don't have as much power to change that. What I do expect from fans is critical thinking. Fans can't control what the Kroenkes want, but they do have the right to speak freely and openly.
I've stated numerous times, from what it appears, that the Kroenkes simply want Arsenal to be consistent enough to challenge for the top-6. They thought top-4 was a piss-walk when Wenger was doing it. Post-Wenger, their recruitment—whether a chief executive, a DoF, or a head coach-cum-manager—symbolizes their desire to remain at the periphery of achievers regardless of any intention to be the achiever.
This post isn't about Lokonga btw. I haven't watched him play. I hope he turns out to be a world beater. Nonetheless, that shill of an article really sums up Arsenal under Arteta, and the era under Kroenke's total ownership.
Welcome to Arsenal, Albert.
