Tazio Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 1 hour ago, CJGJ said: I am going to go against the grain but I think they will give Arteta more time By the end of this season we will see the departure of Ozil for example and a couple of others He's part way through a major rebuilding job which was clear when he was appointed and without hundreds of millions to spend he needs to wheel and deal There is little point in another restart so perhaps time to give him the chance to complete the changes. Of course there is always a limit but I think next season will be the time to judge...in the meantime he needs to make decisions on his younger players and try to win a cup whilst giving the fans some hope for the future I agree. And much as it pains me to say it as he’s the Arsenal manager but I like Arteta. In a way he will be better for this poor season they’re having so far as it will teach him hard lessons about the players he has and what he needs to do instead.

Debut 4 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Maybe the game is running out of them but big clubs like Arsenal with big expectations and past history need a strong character, a man with a bit of a track record and constitution to handle the pressure. Arteta just strikes me as another modern coach obsessed with possession and wants to manipulate his team’s every move. He’s just another coach from nothing fast-tracked into a prestigious job.

A_A wehatethehibs Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Arsenal have the worst fans on the planet, the treatment of Wenger still sickens me. Hilariously they now have some fans calling for his return. To be honest it would be the smart move but he might think twice about it, that squad has that dangerous mix of bad attitudes and bad quality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
