Remember the hype Arteta got when he started to manage Arsenal? Pundits and journos talked like he was the second coming of Christ!
Premier League Gameweek 1
- Thread starter Dante
- Start date
I think Dan James is a better footballer than Pepe, i really do. 70M for Pepe, i really expect to see some top class plays from him but i am yet to see it
Arsenal may yet turn this round of course.
But that arsenal line up is absolutely shocking.

We can't be playing Lindelof when we come up against these.
Robbie pricing up the Tesla Plaid edition as we speak. Ty is still yelling "disrespectful" at Carragher from the crowd.
Pepe is such a one trick pony, so predictable. Cut inside and lose it every single time
White seems to struggle with tricky players. Good luck with our forwards this season you little twat.
Honestly can't see them turning it around, if anything can see Brentford getting another. Arsenal are tragic.
But United's players are fringe or much more useful than the lots that Arsenal, more specifically Chambers, and the hype with him for years was BS.We have form for keeping ordinary players around for far too long, but Arsenal are the undisputed champions of it. What business the likes of Chambers, Holding and Elneny have at a club that should be competing at the top end of the table somewhere I don't know, and they've all been there for 5 years+.
Toney vs Lindelof is a battle I'd rather not see
We have Jones. Don't worry
I'm sick of it WobbieProtected by a back 3 at Brighton. He's got of improving to do, but time is still on his side. But not sure if he'll progress well under Lego Man.
How is Martinelli back and gone through Quarantine and Amad and Bailly aren't?
They where all at the Olympics and Brazil went further no?

It'd be a reverse Drago vs Creed.
Xhaka
Brentford's passing is awful!!
Too flat footed. Terrible defending.
So what's Conte up to these days anyway ?
This Arsenal team is tragic. Rowe is the only one that looks quality out there.
Only Arsenal could go from first to last in a match.
A little too early to start trying the party games.
A little more concentration and another goal is on the cards for Brentford!

Arsenal has been very consistent the last couple of years. Seems to continue that trend.
He does? Must have missed it
Balogun just not cutting it up top is he?
Varane who?
They got caught up in the ole's passing it between the 3 CB's. Ended up booting it long. They don't actually look like they can progress the ball between the lines when Arsenal are sitting back.
So great to have a Danish manager in the league - I think Michael Laudrup is the only other ever. Fair to say Brentford will be my second team this year!
Shocking from Xhaka.
Arsenal seem a bit shell-shocked. Are they a bit under-cooked compared to Brentford?

Arteta is not looking good but it's not half an average side out there. There's very little quality. The quality they do have is dispersed among extremely young players who have a lot to learn.
It's an upper mid table side really, especially without a form Aubameyang.

fantastic atmosphere! loving it.
Bet he's laughing watching this.
Arsenal is a joke. Or Brentford is great. Or both.
I didn't even know he was Danish to be fair. I suppose I just assume that every football manager who looks like a sex offender is German.
Pepe genuinely dribbles like Wan Bissaka
This is the mystery with Arteta - I honestly think people don't realise how bad this Arsenal team are but then they don't even play good football. I kind of got what he was going for when he started but they aren't even playing that way anymore, they just look a mess.
But they paid 72m
Missed the Prem and its epic crowds. Just LOVE the thrum of excitement!
I can't believe Xhaka is still in that first XI, they never learn do they?
He'd be better off in Italy.
Squad composition is shite, but Arteta is equally as bad at managing as the team is as playing.
