It's still possible they finish below us. If that happens it'll be genuinely hilarious.
Mikel Arteta | Lego Pep watch
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Just because Arteta has signed a new XI doesn't mean that XI is good enough to finish top 4. When you're as far back as Arsenal have been you don't just buy an XI that's good enough for top 4 there's a process where you build year by year. With the XI Arteta has EL qualification should be their ceiling anything above that and they've over achieved
I just don't rate him as a manager. Average at best and I just think he is full of rubbish.
When he inevitably leaves Arsenal, he will probably be linked to clubs like Everton and I think he could very well get them relegated (If they stay up this year)........ Wonder what odds I could get to bet on Arteta getting Everton relegated as their manager?

After 3 seasons I have no idea what his style of play is. Watching us try to score a goal is like what I would imagine peeing out a kidney stone feels like. Defence is solid enough though.
Building year by year sounds nice, but in reality if Arsenal aren't qualifying for the CL then their top players will simply demand to leave, and the club will be stuck in a perpetual 'rebuilding' stage, unable to progress further.
Maybe he's a very good assistant manager who through ego and opportunity got propelled to a main managerial role a bit too soon. He has to get at least EL and make this team offensively potent with whoever he buys this summer. How he, and the club, deal with Saliba's return will also play a part.
Arsenal have no top players
Another reason why top 4 this season is a major overachievement
They have some really good players in there. The trouble is that they are their younger players and they will eventually have ambitions of winning things. Sake and Martinelli are the two that really stand out.
Arsenal pays too much for average players. They do have money but they spend it badly.
Really don't see it with Saka and Martinelli is always injured (something he needs to get over so it doesn't ruin his career like it does with so many others)
This is my biggest gripe with him as well. After spending 3 years as assistant of Guardiola it seems he wants now to distance himself as much as possible stylewise from his former boss. I just cant believe that after watching and practicing EVERY training session with Pep he just choose to ignore all
Talk about a stubborn man with an ego!Let us not forget he has spent more years with Moyes and it's not surprising his football resembles Moyes' more than Pep. Boring and unimaginative.This is my biggest gripe with him as well.

So my fellow gooners, this growing process, am I right?
All the newbs who were celebrating a few weeks ago seem to have disappeared. There was one particularly arrogant one I haven't seen for a while
As soon as Chelsea beat them 6-0 last week I knew we were doomed. The most Arsenal of Arsenal results. Charity FC.
Yes it’s got awfully quiet in here.
They are total shite, says it all we are even and we are a laughing stock all season........arteta should been sacked long time ago
Tierney and Partey injuries have killed them. Look at the state of their bench today given average players like Tavares and Nketieh actually had to start.
Areta does have an OGS feel though, team goes on good runs and just when you think they're about to achieve something they start losing to mediocre teams.
Will be harder for Arsenal to challenge for 4th next season with them in europa so massively blown the chance this season.

My opinion of him has not changed. If Arsenal have any sense they would try and get a new manager in. The likes of Haasenhutl or Potter would be good choices imo. There is some good talent in the squad, just need a good manager to match.
He'll need a ton of luck to finish in top 4
Top 4 was done last week, I'm worried about 6th place now!
He'll need a ton of luck to finish in top 4
Still surprises me how he has managed to survive till now after finishing 8th twice and now looking at 6-7th. Saying that I do though feel he’s the most secure other than the obvious two in the top half of the league.
Told you he was completely out of his depth. He should have been sacked months ago.
Now he's back spouting that delusional nonsense post match. Just get him out of the club.

Dude has lost his marbles.
That makes no sense.
For a rookie guy he definitely has a huge ego.
2 goals scored in 5 games. Man Utd’esque.

They are there for the taking, but if we play like today we won’t win.
If people didnt watch the game, didnt know about the fixture, didnt know about Arsenal , then they would've said...wait what ?
So if I didn't know the score and watched that game I would have thought Arsenal won it. Ok right
The Spanish Xavi.
The genius of him is the only reason United are still in the race for top 4.
So maybe they were just strolling around the end then
I’d love to know what you think of our wingers if you don’t really see it with Saka. He is literally better than all of ours.
@Cascarino any comment?
Who knows I probably wouldn't have figured out that Bednarek scored and Arsenal didn't. Who knows what the hell he was on about.
I shit you not, if they get 9 points of that set of games they should consider themselves lucky
He'll need a ton of luck to finish in top 4
Truth to be told United have no business to be even be in this race. Just shows how crap Arsenal and Spurs have been.
We are equally shit! I can't believe we are gifting 4th to Spurs.
