Mikel Arteta | Lego Pep watch

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
True. If you swapped Michael Arteta with Jose Mourinho, that result would be totally different too.
They ain't scoring a goal against Burnley next week if Arteta thinks his team can score from crossings against Ben Mee & Tarkowski.
Moyes Arteta!
Until he (or his successor) gets rid of Xhaka then Arsenal are going nowhere.
I'll take getting relegated rather than allow that to happen.

This is very Moyes/LvG-iah with worse players.
Auba is. Imagine us with Auba as our no9.
If the teams swapped shirts, the result would be totally different too.
One thing is the poor results, but Arsenal under Arteta are rough to watch.
For a team that supposedly plays champagne football, this is pretty dire stuff

Must be because Arteta coaches patterns and has a system
We lost to this shower of shit
Not really, if you put Lacablud, Saka, Pepe and Auba in any other teams above Arsenal, they won't be lingering at 15th.
I have no idea why he thinks crosses are going to be successful for them when they do not have a proper target man! If you have someone like Zlatan or Lukaku- sure. Or even if you have someone who has elite movement and can lose his marker, sure it would work. But Laca offers none of that.
They messed up prioritizing Partey over Aouar especially when they didn't plan on registering Ozil, and what that has led to is this season.
What's more amazing is most pundits and some fans of other clubs like Utd believe Arteta is a great manager, when he has shown nothing in his 11 months in charge there that he can actually compete with the bigger teams by playing good football

Not on present form. I wouldn't swap him for any of our front 4
Many of us have. Just check the auba thread in the transfer forum. We were shot down though by the ageists..
I guess their target man would be Martinelli ?
Not sure he is that type either. They just don't have the players needed to do this tbh. They should go for Giroud if this is their plan going forward.
Are you sure? You are the only team to have never been relegated from the top flight. That's something to be proud of.
Anyone seen his comments on Partey?
I think he's a fecking moron pushing an injured player back onto the field.

More a mobile front 4 player from what I've seen. Been a big miss over last few months injured as he was progressing well last year.
What happened?
Well Partey thought it was a good idea to leave the only stable team amongst the top 3 in Spain and the one currently leading La Liga to join the 8th placed team in England.
They're better off bringing back Wenger.
Yeah completely daft move from him. Hope we're ready to pounce when he inevitability wants out.
Agreed. But I doubt he'd accept the offer.
You don't just quietly walk off of your own accord and leave your teammates fecked.
Go down on the pitch, force a stoppage.
I dont know how arsenal fans are still being as patient with him as they are, i know he's a former player for the club but not exactly a legend, I can only think that his association with being a coach under Guardiola buys him time as arsenal fans are holding out hope he will be the second coming of Guardiola?
Sacking him will not solve much. I said it at wenger's time, they are a poorly run club who have wasted a lot of money on signing wrong players. Wenger leaving was never going to solve anything and that's what happened. Their squad apart from some is poor and they need to invest smartly.
Arteta has to utilize Aubameyang properly though. You cannot have your star player look so isolated.
If we dont pull us together,we will end like them.Trash can of the club.

Hes basically saying 'They're the level we aspire to be' indirectly. Who the heck praises their direct rivals like that?
Legoman is fraud!?
Apparently he was supposed to be Pep Lite
Pepsi Zero - gone flat
Luke warm and flat Pepsi Zero sounds terrible.
