The amount of sprints stat is really important and should be taken more into consideration...but could also be whats slowing all the attackers down :lol:

If only Havertz could make all his running and distance covered stats result into crucial goals...their would probably be no need for this Arteta sack thread.

To think our players consistently work harder than everyone and achieve less....yet the coach seems unbothered about it.

A bit like the Klopp vs Slot scenario playing out.

I think it's been more noticeable since he was out for a while with that injury.
He has lost a yard of pace at least since then.

No as there have been countless times in games now where a longer ball has been played out to him and defenders don't have as hard a time keeping up with him as they used to.

He literally is not as quick as he was, I don't know how people can't see it :shrug:

I really don’t agree that he has, but I don’t know for sure. I think more often than not I think it’s more about the space he has to operate in. End of the day as I keep saying most of the time the defender has the space and time to catch up because the build up towards getting the ball to Martinelli has been slow

I tend to defend him a lot so I am biased anyway, but I think he’s often the convenient lightning rod, and I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Trossard is also struggling at this moment in time which has more to do with an inflexible system.

But the reason I defend him is because I think he’s one of the most naturally talented players we have in terms of pace both and technical ability.

That's great and all but how do his stats compare against players from other teams?

Surely that would be more relevant as I would say most of our players hardly bust a gut to sprint up the pitch when an attack is on (at least not this season so far)

Oh don't get me wrong, I like the guy and still think he's great, but I can only comment on what I am seeing.

His ability (whether it be physical or mental) to run and leave players in the dust like he did prior to his long term injury, has clearly diminished.

He's the 5th fastest in the PL, apparently (which surely contradicts any assertion that he's lost his speed).
He is nearer the bottom of the table when it comes to who has completed the most sprints at each club (although I'd note this is from a couple of months ago). That could indicate that he's a bit lazy, or maybe it's just our languid style of play which doesn't lend itself to much sprinting.

He needs to go now, no waiting until the end of the season.

He had an open goal for the league and he skied it into the stands like Chris Waddle

I can’t and won’t forgive this.

Yep.This.
Liverpool have won the league in early January because Arteta is a rookie manager who has spent a fortune and won fuck all (please no one embarrass themselves by mentioning the FACup). The Kroenke family should not give him any more money to waste and start looking for a proper manager.
