When Arse are actually able to retain the ball in attacking areas they aren’t woeful. They’ve got some pretty nice attacking talent. They started decently against us and here against City for a few minutes. But their midfield and entire defense is shambolic.

If they sack Arteta and give a proper manager a couple of windows to rebuild the defense they could be pushing in the 4th-5th range. But they’d still be years away from challenging the big 4.

Problem is, they just spunked 130m on extremely average players who a new manager may not fancy. Now they’d have to start another rebuild.

Feel sorry for Arteta.. Based on Arsenal brand name, everybody expect to be top6 team, but he is forced to start with Kolasinac-Holding-Chambers back three.. Burnley level names..

 

They have some proven and promising attackers, but defense department is awful.

He was not forced. He decided to loan out a £27m signing in Saliba and not trust him. Not buying that.

Nah. Even under Wenger in the later years it wasn't as bad as this.

 

EDIT: 5-0.

Not saying its as bad as this, commentators were waxing lyrical somewhat about Wenger at the time, I should have been clearer. That said, it was bad 😂

Yeah the excuses for Arteta are bizzare, it's like people are buying into the idea of him that was painted when he first got the job.

He's totally in over his head.

Norwich might be the only side in the league worse than Arse. They’re literally a complete and total waste of a PL place.

Blame the TV money that effectively rewards relegation and in turn has turned the top table into largely a closed shop.

Because of that will be the same teams coming back and forth for many years to come, the days of a Blackpool are over.

Yep, true. West Beom is another yo-yo club that is a waste who we’ll probably see back again next year.

Everton, WH, and Leicester all ahead. All clubs we want to see drop points on a weekend we have Liverpool away will probably win. 😕

they will all drop sooner or later... City and maybe ManUre are the teams we have to worry about.
