I'd take him as a stop gap, Arteta should not be given anymore time, I shudder to think who else he would alienate in the squad and how much more damage he would do if he is given another window and season.
Him and Edu couldn't even secure the signature of Aouar in the summer in a one horse race transfer battle...
End of the line for Arteta
At least we can stop pretending now Arteta hasn’t been an utter failure this season.
Don’t buy it’s been difficult circumstances. That was last year.
This year was a clean slate and it’s been muddied beyond belief.
Right. And it's not just about tonight, although it was another poor effort.
The whole season has been a mess. Mid-table with this squad is nowhere near good enough.
For every decent run there have been rubbish ones. There have been so few really good performances.
Yes. He needs to go now. Let's even ignore the fact that Arteta was beaten by the manager sacked for him without even laying a glove on him tactics wise. The fact that the players were so flat for the most important game of the manager's career says it all really. Out of his depth.
Putting the laughter back into manslaughter
I could give him a pass if we'd been all over them tonight and just had "one of those nights" when the ball just won't go in, but we hardly laid a glove on them. Auba was a bit unlucky, but that apart we didn't do anywhere near enough. We've scored 46 league goals this season. 46!
Wenger's last season was a mess and we conceded way too many goals but we scored 75 that year.
We scored 73 the season after. Then last season it was 56 and we aren't going to do much better this. It's pathetic.
