Initially everyone said give Arteta time. He's had seven games and only won one. He's had a transfer window, which I thought some gave as a reason for sacking Emery before Christmas. Now we're told 'wait til the summer' before judging him.
Next it'll be wait til next January for the summer signings to embed. We've seen this conversation before...
This thread shows the impact a new manager with a fresh approach can have and continues to show that Arteta has not made the same impact as the the two other managers.
Yup
It's not like Arteta is being compared with managers that have been with clubs for years and have implemented their own players and style. All 3 are new to their clubs. Only one is flopping.
Arsenal were above both when emery was here.
But you fail to take into account the situation at the 3 clubs. There was nothing toxic at Spurs or Everton, players were not split into cliques, their so-called captains hadn't told the fans to f**k off, those clubs didn't have a minus goal difference. Arteta walked into by far the worst situation of the 3 managers, he has all sorts of things to sort out (non football related) AS WELL AS the shocking form of most of the team and their inability to defend, not to mention confidence that is non-existent. He has a much bigger job to do than the other 2 managers.
But in some of you lots fantasy world, none of the above matters or has an affect, its simply black and white, win or lose, on or off with some of you.
