He's David Moyes with better clothes.
haha I noticed that as well. Must have a reward card for ArmaniHe wears a new designer jacket every game it seems so at least he knows what’s important.
Came in to post this, and will continue to do so until the idiotic journos backtrack on the bollocks they were writing about Arteta.
Aubameyang looks like he's completely given up on this team.Made a few interesting decisions.
Marginalising their 350k a week man. Buying Saliba for 27m and not having any intention of using him in the first team this season.
Auba signs a new deal and looks like an average Premier league player.
tbf most here get that and are just pushing back against all the hype created about Arteta here and in the media.I think that people need to calm down. Arteta is unproven manager but he is in a same situation like Solskjaer were. Unbalanced team with problems deep in the club. If they give him time, he will be ok. Club needs to be ”restarted”.
That said, Solskjaer for me is a better manager. No question about that.
He got paid and helped fluke their way to an FA Cup.Aubameyang looks like he's completely given up on this team.
Arteta wasn't brought in to make Arsenal contenders. He was brought in in because he agreed to be a "yes" man and stabilize the club around the EL positions.I think that people need to calm down.

Xhaka didn't start, Partey did...He’s fecking shite. How the feck did we lose to these cnuts.
Didn't he get a 2-2 v you last season despite having 10 men for majority of game? And the cup final of course......I'm genuinely worried he'll be sacked before we go there!
Injured after our game.where is Partey?
The cup final he did good granted (but worth noting so many average manager's win cups, it's ultimately 6/7 games) but that 2-2 was the biggest shithouse result i've ever witnessed as a Chelsea fan, we battered them and they got 2 goals the only times they even ventured forward let alone had a shot.Didn't he get a 2-2 v you last season despite having 10 men for majority of game?

Arsenal do seem to still have some ability to peak for games v top 6 but it will be amusing to see them go to a Mourinho team next week and park 10 men behind the ball to scrap out a 0-0.
They need some unpredictability in their attack. Had forgotten about Martinelli but they could do with him now, not sure how far away he is from injury comeback.
He's playing a 433 now, trying to play a more positive formation. Problem is, he's currently doing it with last seasons shit midfield, which means guys with no pace like Xhaka get exposed time & time again. So you can understand why he switched to the back 3 in the first place, but it was never going to work long term.He coached under Pep. He played in some direct but effective teams at Everton and some good sides at Arsenal. How the feck does he not coach his team better and put them in better positions??
3412, not 343. Play your only attacking players through the middle with service from wide areas or balls in behind.
This might seem random but since you're a chelsea fan I just wanted to ask how you guys put up with Lampard constantly playing Mount? I've never seen a player so blatantly favored just because of his nationality. You guys did the right thing getting rid of Barkley but why did Mount stay and how on earth is he playing? He's a very limited player.The cup final he did good granted (but worth noting so many average manager's win cups, it's ultimately 6/7 games) but that 2-2 was the biggest shithouse result i've ever witnessed as a Chelsea fan, we battered them and they got 2 goals the only times they even ventured forward let alone had a shot.
He's not being favoured. He's been one of the better performers in the team this season. It's a bullshit narrative that he's some kind of teachers pet for Chelsea and England. For Chelsea at least, he's picked on merit every week.This might seem random but since you're a chelsea fan I just wanted to ask how you guys put up with Lampard constantly playing Mount?

Chelsea are building a good side and it's not nice seeing a player being favoured by the manager undeservedly. I hate managers that do that.
(One of the big reasons why we won FA cup final was because Mount playing. And when he was substituted, he was replaced by Barkley. How tragic).
I think your being harsh on him to be honest, he's won't ever be a technician type of midfielder I grant you but his skillset (workrate, pressing, movement) perfectly compliments the array of talent we have around him, similar to (although different positions) what Pedro was for Pep's Barcelona.This might seem random but since you're a chelsea fan I just wanted to ask how you guys put up with Lampard constantly playing Mount?

I share your concern about Abraham. I'm genuinely impressed by the team put together by Chelsea. Very good transfer business. I watch a lot of Chelsea and sometimes it seems like I'm the only one who can see Mount's poor touches, unable to beat the man, unable to swivel, unable to be creative enough, or make good first time passes etc. Someone in Mount's position needs to do this stuff especially where Chelsea are planning to go (I assume PL/CL champions). Mount simply doesn't fit into the elite side that Chelsea are now building.I think your being harsh on him to be honest, he's won't ever be a technician type of midfielder I grant you but his skillset (workrate, pressing, movement) perfectly compliments the array of talent we have around him, similar to (although different positions) what Pedro was for Pep's Barcelona.
I'm a lot more worried about Abraham tbh, he looks out of his depth against any opposition of note.
Looks like he could not be arsed tonight. Taken Arsenal for a ride with that contract.Aubameyang looks like he's completely given up on this team.
Sounds familiar...Don't know how many of you watch basketball but Arsenal have become the Knicks of football. Pathetic overpaid players, only being considered good because of the history and have nothing that really gives them hope. Arteta has a lot to do still.
It's tough 1 to judge. In a way, Arteta will feel justified at going defensively early on his reign as he realised he hadn't the midfield strong enough & athletic enough to open the game up.I said it at end of last season, the football they were playing under him is too negative and is not sustainable long term. It has gone even more boring now. This whole excuse of lack of players seems bs to me. He is just too passive for my liking. I think losing 5-1 to bayern and other top sides has permanently scarred arsenal fans that they were satisfied losing 3-1 to Liverpool and 1-0 to city. He has to change his style and let them play football otherwise his days are numbered.
