And then Arsenal would be looking for a new manager. Clubs are businesses and don't f*** with their big markets, unfortunately. Just look at the Rainbow Laces hipocrisy recently from all clubs, including Manchester United.If that's the case Arteta should have commended Ozil for having a spine.

Houllier clearly was much much better. I am mostly thinking similarities in approach. Even if he turns things around, he'll never grow the team the way you'll be wanting to. Houllier could never match Wenger and a lot of that came down to the inherent limitations of his tactical approach.What an insult. I don't know what Houllier did to you.
Utterly deluded. He’s in denialAt least I don’t have to feel sorry for him now
They're Arsenal fans. Kick away.I don't like kicking someone when they are down, but the situation is not good for Arsenal fans. Their coach is not getting a tune of his players, but they also are a mess off the pitch with some awful owners.
Still, think the kids showed some decent grit. Too bad he fecked off some of their better older players and kept the shit ones.
Odd given who is in the squadinstead said he left out Ozil from PL squad for "footballing reasons".
Even comparing them is insulting, Arteta has done literally nothing in his career, he should be compared to you and I. And we should both be ahead of him.Houllier clearly was much much better. I am mostly thinking similarities in approach. Even if he turns things around, he'll never grow the team the way you'll be wanting to. Houllier could never match Wenger and a lot of that came down to the inherent limitations of his tactical approach.
I think that's the case with him but I'm sure the owners will the be ones getting more criticism, at least from the fans.Is Arteta under any media pressure at all? As an outsider, it feels like the media is still treating him like a promising up-and-comer.
Not a bad shout that, all things considered. He knows how to do what Arteta is trying to do - win whilst playing defensively.That sounds about right.
They should flip ahead in the play book and hire Rafa now.
Hang on! A few weeks back he was the manager to lead them out of the wilderness, beating Liverpool in the community shield. Now he’s using them wrong?A good manager doesn't try to shoehorn players into a system they aren't suited for just because it's his personal preference. Arsenal's squad, while not very impressive, is miles above the club's current position. They're just being used wrong by the manager.

Got Ogden's backing.
Laca under Emery 18/19: 13 league goals & 8 league assists.There's no denying there were various improvements initially when he took over.
His failing was due to his poor man management, which I tried to tell you but you couldn't accept it.I said in quite a few subsequent posts that he's failing to get the best out of the team this season and will rightly be sacked if he continues to be so passive.
They won FA cup because Ole rotated his main players in FA Semi & Lampard didn't rest his players for the final FA Cup but played his regular players in the league for top 4. Beating City? Big deal, Ole beat Pep 3x last season. Community shield is just charity comp, it was completely different game when they lost 3-1 in the league this season. Your eyes played tricked on you.It's not just about formation in the initial "bounce" with Arsenal - they looked like they were overcoming a mental block with big results and ended up winning a cup. So it's not exactly a crime to conclude Arteta looked like he was building something at that stage.
Didn't he say arteta will take them to former glories before ole for UnitedTweet

Got Ogden's backing.
Unlike Arteta (and also unlike Houllier) Rafa is not an out and out defensive manager. He'll always value clean sheets as a basis for winning games and insist on proper defensive organisation, but he saw attacking football as a means to win games far more than Houllier did or Arteta does for that matter.Not a bad shout that, all things considered. He knows how to do what Arteta is trying to do - win whilst playing defensively.
Possibly the most deluded thing I've heard a manager come out with.Tweet

What an absolute nobber.They're Arsenal fans. Kick away.
Useless cnuts.
He needs to wake the heck up and get Ozil back in the team as soon as possible.Possibly the most deluded thing I've heard a manager come out with.
Because at the start of his regime there was ludicrous hype for him as being the new Pep.Not sure why the hate for arteta, I think comes across well in interview's, glad arsenal struggling all the same
Might have something to do with the fact that he's hopelessly out of his depth.Not sure why the hate for arteta, I think comes across well in interview's, glad arsenal struggling all the same
In Wenger's penultimate season they won the cup with the exact same semi/final route, and that one was probably a bigger achievement as they faced Conte's all conquering Champions.There's no denying there were various improvements initially when he took over.

Yep he knows his stuff and given where Arsenal are I think he would be a top candidate if the board can overlook his reputation. I do have doubts over his long term suitability though as he looks like someone who is prone to falling with owners a lot.Unlike Arteta (and also unlike Houllier) Rafa is not an out and out defensive manager. He'll always value clean sheets as a basis for winning games and insist on proper defensive organisation, but he saw attacking football as a means to win games far more than Houllier did or Arteta does for that matter.
I do think he fell short in not being quite attacking enough for what was needed to win the league, but he was definitely a clear step up from Houllier in terms of attacking football. I expect he would be the same for arsenal if he joined them.
That would be funny as feck. Wenger comes back and immediately plays Ozil and they finish in the top 6.Any chance of Wenger coming back if they asked him to?
4 golas in 10 games, at least one of which came from pen. Wow
their only green light is our match ffs.
It's nice of us to keep him in a job.
their only green light is our match ffs.
I don’t have anything against Arteta but there is narrative he’s a good manager with no evidence to back that up. He has no prior experience as a manager and certainly doesn’t implement Pep’s style. All this credibility has been put on him because he’s worked with the media darling Guardiola. Did McClaren become a good manager after he was assistant at United under Sir Alex? Not really. Even now he’s being protected by the media and blame is being shifted to anyone else except him. It’s just bizarre.Not sure why the hate for arteta, I think comes across well in interview's, glad arsenal struggling all the same
