Spot on.
True. Arteta doesn't have the legs or tools to play as the DM. He panics and makes rash passes when pressed quickly and never attempts to lose his marker if being tightly marked which can put other players under pressure if the opposition is pressing high. He's not a calming influence or able to dictate the tempo of the game.
When it comes to counter attacks, he doesn't have the legs to get back and you could see he struggled to get close to any player when Chelsea were on the break. He has limitations and Wenger picks him over Flamini because he's better technically. Flamini lacks the passing range but makes up for it with his mobility. If pressed and he losses the ball, he's going to at least win the ball back or draw a foul. I also like how he instructs the players how to defend positionally and who to cover. We need that communication so gaps aren't too wide.
Starting Arteta wasn't a disaster. I think we could have made up for his weaknesses if we had played Rosicky in the middle alongside him. Rosicky is mobile and can dictate the tempo of the game make the calm passes and play on the half turn with ease. Starting Ox and Cazorla in the middle was a mistake. When dropping deep, both players took risks that cost us. We need central midfield players that can keep it simple. I miss the simplicity of Cesc's game. Heck, only if Diaby could stay fit because he seemed to have learned when to drive forward, when to play it simple and he had the perfect build for that role. It's the same for Ramsey. I can't believe we crocked him for this vital stage of the season.
It's cowardly.
Arteta doesn't have the legs? Sorry but that's just bullshit, instantly dispelled by the match stats game after game after game. Criticise by all means but don't make shit up. I also don't get why Arteta is being slated for being a "shit" DM (playing out of position doesn't automatically make you shit) and also gets slated for not being a playmaker and effective on the counter. WTF? What is he, a DM or a something else? Might as well slate him for not getting enough goals or not making enough saves, he doesn't play in those positions either but what the hell. Watch Flamini more closely next time you see him doing that shouty/ arm wavy stuff you like. Nobody listens - he's achieving nothing by it. Also we probably didn't injure Ramsey on purpose. If we did then I agree it would be unbelievable.

Well we know Wenger is a cunt and a coward and a specialist in failure. An old fool who knows nothing. Clueless. And this is just what some of our so-called fans think. At least the media gets paid to spout this shit. The plastics do it for free. But rest assured, the media will spout minus the misquotes Wenger has opted not to give them. Lack of quotes or even facts won't hold them back so our plastics needn't worry, there will be plenty of Wenger bashing available for hearty consumption over the coming days.

Nah.
They'll write a load of old nonsense whatever he says or doesn't say.
It's not exactly 'brave' to face a load of stupid questions nor cowardly not to.
In all his years, he's come out to face his critics. The fact that he hasn't this time suggests to me that he's been deeply wounded by the result.
Rewatch the goals and how he struggles to stay with his runners. I think the 4th goal was the clearest example. It's not made up and your delusional if you think he's a quick player.
He probably has, and he should be.
Dein said they go out for dinner after home games unless they've lost because he's no company then.
I get the impression that some on here don't think he cares but of course he does.
Whatever he says at any press conference will get twisted and turned into bullshit headlines, I'd rather he get on with picking us up and preparing for the next game.
