This is why we won’t win the PL under him, he doesn’t have faith in the team to take it to them when it counts

I’m saying we’ve made them look solid defensively with our utter timidity
1-0 FT. We absolutely deserve that.
So negative from Arteta and ceded the initiative.
I see, well yes
Arteta is in the mud for me.
We made Liverpool look good when in reality they offered nothing.
Absolute pussy show on our part.
Eze should have started and we should have gone on the attack for most of the game
I know we said this game wouldn’t decide the title but I think it has. Still not convinced Liverpool can retain the title with their back line but we’ve proved I think beyond any doubt that we can’t win the title with this coach. Not because of the result, but it's ridiculous when you have a side that’s conceded 6 goals in last three games and not to at least try and go for it. The only pleasure I can take from today is that with the money we’ve spent, Arteta will be gone by this time next year. The man is a Mourinho lite fraud
The game panned out exactly how we all felt it would really.
Liverpool didn’t look great either but when you have little interest in actually trying to win the game then you just leave yourself open to anything happening, which today was a worldie of a free kick.
They were absolutely happy to come away with this with a point and that’s the problem with Arteta. Can’t win the league with him, never in a million years.
Martinelli was a sham and I don't even think he did much defensively in this one, it was all Calafiori as far as I could tell.
A deserved loss and its funny, but I'm ok we took nothing from this game.
HCZ said something earlier, before we got Eze, that team we had was good enough for Arteta to compete and signing more superstars would make no difference.
When Eze came on in the 70th min, the commentator said something I didn't even realise, this would be Eze's 3rd game against Liverpool in the last 4 outings. In the other 2 he was instrumental in great performances against Liverpool yet our manager chose to leave him on the bench till the 70th minute while the aimless track and field athlete that is Martinelli stunk up the place.
Arteta approached this game not believing he could outplay a team that has conceded 4goals in their last 2 games despite having everything any coach could dream of.
Really pathetic and small minded, and though I'm glad that we've finally got an adequate squad, I would definitely prefer a decent coach, who can play functional attractive football, with a proper winning mindset, take over this bunch.

I mean let’s be fair I want desperately to be wrong about Arteta. I don’t get any joy out of disliking him.
I get no satisfaction in being right about him, because Arsenal winning the title is more important to me than being right that Arteta is a putz
