Before winning a league and a double the following year?
There’s always anomalies, this guy has zero experience and isn’t going to be anything special, he’s all hype like most things in football these days.
His man management is terrible, favouritism il-advised, style boring and tactics one dimensional, he won’t even give certain players a chance.
We finished low in the table last season with him, we’re 11th now, that’s terrible given the resources he has at his disposal.
He was a bang average player for us and now he’s a bang average manager as well!
Tell us how you really feel?
The next few games are crucial. We need to bounce back It doesn't sound like Arteta will change much in terms of tactics so if we won't see a massive change in tactics we need to see a massive improvement in performance and effectiveness.
Lol
To be honest it’s well documented I didn’t rate or want the guy here and thought it was a mistake appointing him.
I always said he has no period of grace, he needs to produce something tangible early on. To be honest though he hasn’t for me, the football is terrible and yes our defence is better but it’s totally been at the expense of the attack, there’s no balance, anyone can do that if they basically set out their team to defend and not attack.
We have a very good forward line that looks totally impotent under him, that is some achievement, but what really irritating me about him is his favouritism, it just reminds me of his mentor Wenger, there’s no logic is some of his decisions, he doesn’t like someone so cuts them out or doesn’t play them much, even if it’s not for the best of the team.
The treatment of Saliba is disgraceful to be honest, he wants to play but we stupidly didn’t register him and couldn’t even organiser a loan (how incompetent do we have to be seriously?), then he bring that calamity Mustafi back and even offers him a new contract (really?) we wasted money on Willian who does nothing and is another Arteta favourite and he keeps our record signing who should get a run and does score goals out of the team, he got rid of Guendouzi because of one incident and yet kept Xhaka (another favourite) totally disregarding his behaviour and performance (a disgrace IMO).
He’s decided he doesn’t want Ozil, fair enough but then at least make sure you have another creative player for the team if you do that. He wanted rid of AMN then he performed well and we turned down and offer to keep him and the guy can’t get a game over and even Soares who is rubbish gets a game before he does.
That’s not all either, we struggle for goals all season and he continues to play our most potent threat on the wing and brings in Nketiah who just isn’t up to it to play in the middle, he doesn’t play Laca but asks him to spend all his time chasing players in midfield rather than trying to get goals, you couldn’t make it up!
Does this sound like a guy who know what he’s doing to you, because it doesn’t to me!
