    Id take us not being absolute pussies when playing away at any of the top 5. Apart from Chelsea we were shit against Pool City and United. The one thing this team has lacked sorely since 2006is bottle. nerve under pressure and fortitude when faced with adversity. We bottled 4th last season with 3 calamity games at the end of the season/ I hate to bring the argument back again to Xhaka as I always do. But there is NO way you can build a formidable team with that lump at the core of your team. His lack of athleticism and ball control makes the team nervous and fragile. If he plays every game that he is available, as Im afraid he will, we will again come up short. Arteta cant see Xhaka`s shortcomings. Its a fatal flaw IMO.

    We need to be able to take points against the top 4 , home or away. We also need to be able to come back from adversity. Go a goal down and usually we are done. I honestly cant see Arteta as the manager to change that mindset. He is absolutely limited in his abilities both tactically and tactilely in handling players.

    I want to see a better team that last season, unafraid and battle ready. Im glad Saliba is here, hope he stays.

    Aye, good shout.

    This mentality that playing Liverpool, City, Chelsea et al are HUGE challenges needs to change, man. It's embarrassing.

    It’s getting to a point where it’s actually almost unbelievable what a cunt Granit Xhaka is

    Shouting at his team mates at half time when we are 2-0 down to Palace about the balls they aren’t winning

    We used to have people put away in asylums when they were that deluded

    Lacashite throwing a hissy in training. Got shoved off the ball by some kid and proceeded to hack him down. Then had the nerve to grab Cedric by the throat when confronted about it.

    Fucking loser, it was a miracle we even had a chance of 4th with him up front for most of the season.

    Ah I didn’t get that far in, I’d say you’ve spoilt it for me but in reality you’ve actually given me something definite to look forward to

    Kieran Tierney worries me, I think he actually enjoys being injured. Don’t get me wrong still don’t think we should have bought in Zinchenko but I think given we did…we should have sold off Tierney…attitude is all wrong

    And Arteta what a cunt….”I’ve got too many emotions guys to address you today” how about regret for playing Xhaka at left back and Odegaard in central midfield you fucking idiot ??

    Utterly convinced Arteta has to go. The guy isn’t well

    Sounds pedantic but one thing I’ve noticed having watched all of that All or Nothing series is the lack of one to one interactions Arteta has with his players and even in training when he does it seems forced and awkward.
    As I’ve said I do think the players like and respect him, but there’s no personal relationship there because it feels like there’s a barrier which is very much exemplified with his stand offish treatment of Aubameyang.
    Tony Adams said of Wenger that they would often go for coffee because Wenger was interested in knowing the person as much as the player.
    I couldn’t see Arteta doing that because I don’t think he’s a people person. Not that he doesn’t like people but I think he’s naturally an introvert to the point where I’d say he’s actually shy.
    I don’t know maybe it’s a sign of how things have changed and that personal interactions with players are delegated to other members of staff but you can see Edu has a personal relationship with some of the players especially the Brazillian ones.
    Maybe that’s not a problem, maybe again I can only look at it from a sense that the documentary isn’t showing me the full picture but it does seem odd that a documentary that seems almost exclusively focused on Arteta doesn’t show any personal relationship he has with players individually.

    I think he is the man to lead this team to silverware this season
