To be fair, he had turned us into a functional football again team before the break - unbeaten in the league in 2020 up until the lockdown, and we were starting to string consecutive wins together. But functional was always going to be about as good as it was going to get with this lot - we’re just too unbalanced and lack too many attributes in too many areas to be anything more right now.

I actually feel for Arteta here - I think he’d performed something of a minor miracle just getting everyone back on board and pulling in the same direction again after Emery, but Covid-19 really has fucked him. Feels like we’re back to square one again with player commitment after the pay cut, and the contractual mess it’s left us with...
