Arsenal fans: Our players are far to comfortable.
*Arteta says the truth about Pepe*
Also Arsenal: How could he say such things.

Arteta’s man managenent is bloody awful. Not even Mourinho manages to alienate so many players in such a short time.
Thanks bro. You’re back on my Xmas card list.lol the people piping up now like @Makingtrax and others certainly didn't turn on Wenger.
I wanted him to go myself but I definitely regret it now.
Or other posters I appreciate it fellas!
Its true though, people need to look over at Man United and NOT want to replicate that. Since Fergie left in 2013 United have gone through 4 managers and spent 1 billion and 84 million pounds yet their league finishes wouldn't correlate with that spend. 7th, 4th, 5th, 6th, 2nd, 6th, 3rd. So incredibly inconsistent and no real structure or rebuild, just a lot of money thrown at different managers and different players. 7 years, over a billion spent, no title and no regular CL football.
Now look at us. Since Wenger left we've spent around £300M, we are now on our second manager and league finishes have been 5th and 8th. £300M spent on footballers in 2 and a half seasons, already two managers in and people are calling for that second managers head already.
We are on the path to replicating United in terms of spend AND managerial changers and that cannot happen.
Its pretty clear Arteta could be great, what do we want as a football club? Do we want to chop and change managers every few years? Spending and wasting stupid money. Or do we want a proper rebuild where this manager grows into something special? I think a lot of people's anger and negativity is driven by the need for instant success.
Exactly. My biggest grouse against Emery (even before he joined) and now Arteta - this idea of barking instructions to the players constantly from the sidelines. Find it quite annoying.
You could as well setup your playing station and control the players in FIFA that way
Yeah, I did want him to go. It was like watching a kindly Salvation Army worker get a good kicking from the needy because he didn’t give them what they wanted.Makingtrax wanted him gone for his own reasons like everybody who wanted him gone did. You either wanted him to stay or to go. All the rest is fluff.
:rofl: I think I’ve actually seen that happen before, but that’s another story.Yeah, I did want him to go. It was like watching a kindly Salvation Army worker get a good kicking from the needy because he didn’t give them what they wanted.

Emery was scraping results from the start?Talking out your butthole a little bit here bro.
Under Emery even when we were winning we were never in control of games. I've seen more in our games under Arteta than I did under Emery, that guy was scraping results from the very beginning. People pull out stats from their arses on Emery vs Arteta, but the fact is Emery was shocking from the get go and it only got worse not better.
Arteta needs this full season, no manager in world football is fixing the issues we currently have straight away, give him this season. If the season is a massive failure then of course you start to look elsewhere.
Then who would you replace from the below?
Football manager by name football manager by nature.
We need to start playing our best eleven.
————————Martinelli—————————
—Willian—————————————Pepe—
————Saka——Partey——Ceballos————
—Tierney—Gabriel——Saliba—Bellerin——
——————————Leno——————————
That’s a twisted version of our discussions bro. You mean I was happy with top 4, Champions League, exciting football and lots of FA Cups. Too right. That wasn’t good enough for you. Oh no. The mighty Arsenal should be beating clubs outspending them 10 times. Well how’s it working out?:rofl: I think I’ve actually seen that happen before, but that’s another story.
Yeah but you also used to keep saying that it was only a game etc and playing down the importance of the club doing well, so it’s always surprising to see you so upset about how it all panned out. As I say, this is what you wanted!
Also some of you backed and rated Raul and now tell us the squad isn’t good enough.
Arteta should be given time. That's the only way we're going to rebuild something at this club.
But he hasn't been doing a great job so far. He lifted the club at the beginning and it seems as if players are behind him. But the football is dire and the results are average. It's painful to watch.
He's good with the press, communicates well - and he should keep that up - but let's see if he can deliver on the pitch.
