Aww poor Mikel.
It wouldn't have been so bad if he actually knew what he wanted the goal disallowed for. He was speaking like someone who hadn't actually seen anything happen but had been told what had happened off his mates down the pub.What's Carragher banging on about.... no one wants to see their own manager have a meltdown to that level
That's Rafafacts level calamity.
Arteta is an utter twonk but I'd rather a manager have a go at the officials every now and again to try to create a siege mentality rather than sit and say nothing like Ten Hag. Ideally he'd do it when there was actually some dodgy refereeing though, it's not hard to find examples of it!"It's embarrassing" "it's a disgrace" then when asked he can't pinpoint why the goal shouldn't be allowed, just rambles on about nothing.
Agreed really, but it can't be the ball over the line, because that's as tight as the Garnacho offside.... didn't see him moaning about that one? ETH did of course, but he didn't embarrass himself over it.It wouldn't have been so bad if he actually knew what he wanted the goal disallowed for.

The Arsenal fans in their forums are loving it.What's Carragher banging on about.... no one wants to see their own manager have a meltdown to that level

Raya is on loanBuying Raya and Havertz were two big mistakes. He wasted 100 million on two players that he didn't really need, and they may have actually made his team worse than last year.
amazing
I don't agree we're worse than last year. We're a whopping 3 points worse off after 11 games last season, despite having a harder start this time and being in CL too. We've lost 3 games all season in all comps, are 3 points off top and top of our CL group. The difference this season is there are more teams in the mix and it's a much tighter contest.

Result wise you guys are fine. But it is the performance that has been underwhelming. I don't think you guys are playing that well compared to last season.I don't agree we're worse than last year.

I agree, going forward we haven't looked great and can still improve. But I think we're much harder to beat in general, which is what I think Arteta is going for. Someone posted in another thread that we concede the least amount of chances in the league in our box, and have 2nd best defence. I also think making direct comparisons to last season doesn't always tell the full story - ultimately we fell at the final hurdle last season so whatever we do this time around has to be different, better. Having CL for the first time in many years is also a big challenge and TBH I'm surprised with how we've managed so far considering we're a fairly young and inexperienced squad. Last season we peaked too early IMO and struggled towards the end and couldn't deal with our injuries. I think our squad depth has improved a lot.Result wise you guys are fine.

Yeh I'm sure he/the club will be happy to pay any fine he may get. If it means we get a dubious decision in our favour in our next tight match, it'll be worth it. Gotta play the game.We can laugh at him all we want but his embarrassing rant will work in his favour, much like Klopp. The more he does it, the more he puts refs n the spot, the more hesitant refs are about giving calls against Arsenal.
ETH takes shit on the chin and moves on and we are getting killed for it.
Don’t blame him for whinging at all. The refs in the PL are so pathetic that making a whingefest about decisions is probably an actual strategy the clubs should/do employ.Its unbelievable how much he is winging about VAR now its gone against him, he didnt say a word about it when it robbed us of 3 points at the Emirates a few games ago.
First it was Klopp (and probably will be again if the game stays as it is) and now its Arteta moaning about it, we have been shafted by VAR so many times this season and ETH has hardly said a word about it.Don’t blame him for whinging at all.

Dermott Gallagher said that challenge was fine. No idea how, but these new rules are very complex.Why can’t Arsenal fans see how excellent that decision was and how hypocritical Arteta is after saying mistakes are made that we all should accept with VAR only a week ago?
Was fine for him when Gabriel rugby tackled Rasmus!
The interview and then the presser was quite hilarious. The man was rambling and had no actual answers as to what he thought was wrong with the goal. Classic deflection tactics.Sky making Arteta look a complete clown there
For me you had 3 creative, defensively sound centre mids last year that also chipped in with goals. After letting Xhaka leave and buying Rice and Havertz, you have an absolute nothing of a second attacking midfielder to support Odegaard and you have a very good DM who has very, very little creativity to his attacking game.I don't agree we're worse than last year.
