Arsenal are doing good now but that's after a very bad season of two with arteta. 

Now not one bad word. 

I will still wait for another season. I don't understand the reaction of people here when this was expected from day one. 

Tbf didn't expect to be quite so bad. It's like they've just met up for a kick about a few never met each other before. Seems to be no plan apart from go back or hoof it upwards.

While I'm giving Potter more time long term, in the short term it feels like my worst fears are realized.

Back to back poor performances in the league, and the team is in a rut, and he doesnt look to have the pull to get these big egos to turn around.

Not sure if the world cup reset will change it, but for once I'm not complaining about the stupid mid season tournament.

I truly cannot believe ppl turning on Potter already. He barely has any good midfielders or attackers in the squad and some of our best players are injured, and yet you expect him to dominate arguably the best and most consistent team this season so far.

look at the players we have injured, and the dross we have who are not

I don't disagree but that tax only goes so far.

Even the team we had out today is better than the Leeds and Southampton teams that gave Arsenal a much harder game.

We got battered by Bournemouth and West Brom/Watford on occasion with elite managers in the past few years. 

This inconsistency and poor mentality is deeply rooted into the players.

I have a bit of sympathy for Potter due to the massive injuries we have to key players, before those we weren't that bad. And you can't really instill your ideas and tactics to the team coming in mid-season without a proper pre-season. Unless we implode badly, I'm giving this season Potter a pass. I was against his appointment from the beginning, but what's done is done, so we have to now be patient and wait until he's given a fair chance.

I did I mentioned we would go the way of moyes with united. So that's why I don't bother with this season. I will like to see what kind of players we get in January and take it from there.

You could tell it wasn't going to be smooth Saling when his first game in charge we weren't amazing and carried on. Usually new manager and the first game everyone plays again. Just shows in a way it wasn't a case of not playing for Tuchel etc it's just way they are atm

Precisely.

Wasnt great with TT this season or at times last season but at least we were much more difficult to play against because we would compete. And he could change it up/compete tactically also with the big managers.

City are probably going to put 4 or 5 past us if Haaland plays. 

Foreign managers are ruthless, not afraid to throw people under the bus because they aren’t afraid of telling the truth. Tuchel was even doing this in pre-season. In contrast - British managers aren’t, its going to be a long season. 

I mean did he really say credit to the boys they gave everything after that shite, or something along those lines?

so you want Poch?

[MoroccanBlue 5,383]

The biggest mistake Potter can do is continue to trust these players. Tuchel and Lampard both lost their job because of it, although the latter was just so way out of his element. 

Potter needs to realise before its too late that these players won't reciprocate that trust. Start playing players on merit vs the name on their back.

True , but the club should have given themselves time to see if he could turn it around / find an actual world class replacement. Firing Him and hiring some basic ass English coach was a disaster

How would u assess that?

We scored less under Tuchel this season and conceded more, had a much worse win percentage. Tuchels start to the season was way worse than what we have today.

Kepa's case shows he does play them on merit. Problem being there aren't many to choose from at the moment. However I do think he should give more chances to Zakaria, Pulisic (as a winger) and Broja. Starting Auba and Havertz at the moment is a waste of time, hopefully he realizes that soon enough.

look at the crazy injuries we have

I refuse to blame Potter when we have

top 5 on the planet LB, RB, and DMF out, Fofana injured as well, plus shit buys and then Marina letting Rudiger go

and piss shitting away €250m or so on CuCu, Sterling, Fofana (so far, I remain convinced he is damaged goods, even before this Chels injury) and a likely rinsed KK

(using euros cuz fucking T Markt stopped with pounds on the UK site, ffs)
