1 goal, 3 red cards.Scored one goal in 2022 so far.
Why not? Legos are usually flexible.Can he be City and Arsenal manager at the same time?
Makes up for the lack of criticism he has been getting from the media.will never understand the level of hate the man gets on the forum.
I dont really get why he is given such a pass from the media while Wenger was declared past it 4 times a season in his final few years as manager and Ole was (imo correctly) seen as not being up to the job from his first match. They were practically fighting relegation a year ago and there wasn't much pressure on him. It's like being in the same frame as Pep confers immunity to criticism.Such a poo manager that gets undeserved plaudits.
Iirc, they finished 8th last year under Arteta in his first full season and 6th the two years previously were they started under Emery.They'll finish sixth at best. Which is probably an improvement on last season's finishing.
When players like Xhaka are first names on the teamsheet you can rest assured they won't be finishing in the top four.
surely this is sarcasm?Makes up for the lack of criticism he has been getting from the media.
6 times he's played Chelsea with the aggregate 9-9. Not sure what that's telling us?Five times he's faced Burnley and the aggregate score is 2-2.
That his record against Burnley is godawful.6 times he's played Chelsea with the aggregate 9-9. Not sure what that's telling us?
We are crap ourselves but at least we are not Arsenal. Imagine giving a new contract to a guy who finished 8th twice in a row and although Arsenal are doing tiny bit better this season so far, I would still expect them to finish 7th or 8th. He, very much like Ole, managed to lower the expectations so much that finishing 6th would probably be seen as a miraculous improvement on the last season.
Just saw the tag, whats up??
You mean Auba or Laca?Well you could blame Arteta for not being able to work with the top striker you've got. In fact, you should.
Don't talk of excuses while bigging up Arteta in the same sentence. You'll never be more than midtable with him in charge. Continues to boggle my mind how Arsenal fans are so complacent. Aubameyang will have his pick of clubs, and every single one is stronger than Arsenal.You mean Auba or Laca?
Laca has always been hit or miss. And, he also has stamina issues, so playing him every match isn't help.
Auba hasn't been in form for 2 years. And it seems a big part of that is his own fault. Seems to be giving up on football.
Arteta is pretty clear, he'll give full energy and effort into players who will give it back. Anyone else can see the door. And I haven't got any big issues with that. For too long we've seen lazy players who have excuses left right and centre playing for us. Most the current crop aren't like that.
We aren't midtable now, and we aren't far off the points total we set my friend?! ;-)Don't talk of excuses while bigging up Arteta in the same sentence. You'll never be more than midtable with him in charge. Continues to boggle my mind how Arsenal fans are so complacent.

We said 18 points from 10 as bare minimum, that's 1.8 per game. You're now on 36 points from 21 games, that's 1.7 points per game. Your on course for 65 points (you'll end up with less though), that's place 6 on average over the last 10 seasons (5x 6th, 3x 7th, 2x 5th). Arteta is failing the bare minimum goal, and yet everyone's acting like he's doing this amazing job. What he is amazing at, is lowering standards and getting away with it, somehow. Amazing.We aren't midtable now, and we aren't far off the points total we set my friend?! ;-)
We've literally averaged an above mid-table finish for the majority of his reign in charge. He had a terrible 5 months at the start of last season, but beyond that he's doing his job fine over the past 2 years.Don't talk of excuses while bigging up Arteta in the same sentence. You'll never be more than midtable with him in charge. Continues to boggle my mind how Arsenal fans are so complacent. Aubameyang will have his pick of clubs, and every single one is stronger than Arsenal.
I also said 70 points at end of season, and it's not end of season yet. Perhaps we shouldn't judge to soon. People are quick to judge when we go on a wee run, but the same token they are quick to judge when we have a bad run. It's all a bit too reactive considering all teams around us drop points.We said 18 points from 10 as bare minimum, that's 1.8 per game. You're now on 36 points from 21 games, that's 1.7 points per game. Arteta is failing the bare minimum goal, and yet everyone's acting like he's doing this amazing job. What he is amazing at, is lowering standards and getting away with it, somehow. Amazing.
How were they saying he was making good progress if they were silent?Find it ironic, 3 weeks ago everyone was silent about Arteta, saying he's making good progress.
Rebuilding a club like Arsenal or United is clearly not that easy. See United. They thought they almost had it fixed for the past 5 years, and now it looks like their back to square one..We said 18 points from 10 as bare minimum, that's 1.8 per game.
