I hope Arsenal win the league cup so it keeps Arteta in a job longer!

 

After the United game, Ian Wright suggested that Arteta in charge of Man Utd would have turned them into title contenders

Just looking at the league table and see that Arse have a negative goal difference and have only scored 9 goals this far. 😂😂😂

Arteta's Arsenal side is literally the opposite of Wenger's. In all the biggest games against the top teams Arteta plays ultra-negative, Mourinhoball and grinds out flukey wins. Then they choke against teams they used to feast upon.

There's some nice patterns to play out from the back or through the press otherwise it's nothing special. Defensively all he's done is put more players behind the ball. Decent start and good results considering the players at his disposal but it was obvious their hot form(end of last season to start of current season) was unsustainable.

Was out all day with wifey and friends, just sw the highlights of the Arse Villa game

Barkley had a monster game (other than that dodgy offside VAR call that chalked off a goal)

Grealish is a best, and Watkins is showing he is a viable EPL CF

Terry has their defence playing well

Arse look utter pants, they collapsed

I think Arteta learned more about football management from David Moyes when he played at Everton, rather than Pep.

His team play more like the Everton of yesteryear, occasionally punching above their weight to upset strong sides :-D

I watched the whole game

Amongst other things did you know Aubameyang never had a shot all game

Anyway fuck the goons

[Strike 7,300]

Felt all along it was a great time to part with Willian. He wouldn't be happy sitting on the bench behind Ziyech I feel so its best he moved on.

I have been wondering a long time about this - why is Auba wasted on the left wing? Was not he a deadly striker just a few months ago?

A bit similar to why Werner is played on the wing

[communicate 2,703]

Arsenal played elneny, partey in midfield. Willian and auba on the wing and then laca up top. How do you create?

Yes but you think that would be countered by the fact you appointed Moyes' old assistant and play like Pulis (playing out from the back aside).
