Yes I'd love to be good enough that we could regroup 2nd half and steal a 2-1 win but face it, could have Klopp managing this squad and we probs wouldn't win that game after the red. Shit happens but it seems to happen to us more than most atm and it's not helping us gain any momentum when we really need it.
No doubt you'll ignore all that and say he started Luiz so it's his fault, yawn.
Other teams could probably say exactly the same, if they’d not had this decision against them they’d have more points, works both ways.
Decisions aren’t the reason we are where we are, over a long period it’s performances that dictate position not the odd bad decision, we’ve been 10th or below all season and the reason Arteta, not because of a few decisions which would have also happened to other teams.
I agree with the bold. It's not the reason, it's one of many reasons. However, you choose to blame every single thing on Arteta and that's simply not fair.
All along I've acknowledged what his mistakes are and that he's far from perfect but i'm so bored of every single thing being 'Arteta's fault'. You even go on about Saliba who's just looked utter dogshit in a game in Ligue 1, no doubt if he did that for us...you'd blame Arteta despite him not signing him or seemingly wanting him lol. It's madness.
