Treating him like shit was too good for that cunt.
You can say what you like about the manager, but I’m at a loss to think how anyone could’ve dealt with the clusterfuck he inherited.

Maybe that says something about your own lacking interpersonal skillsOriginally Posted by Xhaka Can’t
I love how pissed off Ramsdale was after we conceded against Villa to cost him his clean sheet
That makes no sense.

Yeah, you forget just how many fires he had to put out when he first inherited the side - there’s probably a lot of individual cases there that might have been turned around with a bit of tlc, but when you have a squad full of those cases to deal with, who all need fixing at once, whilst you’re trying to turn the tanker, you just don’t have time for it. In insurance terms it was basically a write-off: more time consuming and costly to fix than simply buying a new one.
It’s a shame because I think if someone like Guendouzi had walked into this current Arsenal side as a 19yo then we could have saved him, but as it was he walked into a rudderless shit-show, got instantly recruited by the Özil gang, and that became his blueprint for how a top professional behaves (this is just a suspicion, but I wouldn’t mind betting that part of the reason we kept pushing Saliba out on loans was because we saw the same warning signs with him and wanted to get him as far away from that group and this club as we could until the culture had been completely reset).
Like yourself I can’t really think how anyone could have dealt with things differently - maybe there was a better way somewhere, but personally I’m just glad it has been dealt with. When you look at what’s going on at other clubs, that’s not a given.
And therein lies the problem
Arteta seems to like players with no character who won’t challenge him. Ramsdale is quite outspoken so it will be interesting to see how long he lasts, but a lot of the players are timid and quiet.
Being a coach/manager requires you to be able to deal with a lot of different personalities and egos. If you can’t do that then you won’t make it in the job
Consider the type of players that has left the Club. They all had the same faults - faults many fans have been crying out about for years.
The Club is nowhere near where it needs to be yet, but the broken culture is clearly undergoing major surgery. Arteta is the guy performing that surgery, whether he is the guy to to complete the rehabilitation is up for debate.
We needed rid of the players and ridiculous contracts we’ve offloaded. Aside from not delivering, they made the team completely unlikeable.
I can get behind players giving their all and not succeeding, but not for a minute can I stomach the type of mentality displayed by the likes of Ozil and Auba.

Huh?
I never mentioned Ozil
But it’s interesting neither Wenger or Emery experienced issues with Auba’s attitude
Then there’s Torreira, Pepe and Guendouzi
If you think Auba is the last player Arteta will fall out with and freeze out I think you’re delusional
Players change. Both Ozil and Auba dropped off a cliff once they signed those mega contracts. No more incentive to put in a shift. I am all for performance based contracts. 50% of salaries should be based on team/individual performance, even if a 3rd party needs to be involved to adjudicate the merits of each individual player. If the team is crap, so should your pay be
