Tir Na Nog
Changes Opinion Every 5 Minutes

The bolded is the issue though.
I’ll speak for @Tir Na Nog as well here…we aren’t dragging up any stats, we’re literally just commenting on charts that people post on here to provoke discussion. A-G is pretty neutral on Arteta I think and he just posts the charts, I’m sure if they were positive he would post them too.
We and a few others find analytics interesting…it’s not our fault that Arteta’s underlying stats aren’t great. If they were, I’d comment on them in the same way. If the roles were completely reversed and Arteta had poor results but really promising underlying stats I’d highlight that too.
But when a manager I already don’t rate is producing numbers that support my opinion of him, I’m definitely going to talk about it, at least it’s some kind of rational discussion. I could just spam stuff like “get this bxm out” everyday.
It's not as if we even went on a full blown assault, we didn't even bring the graphs up. Others posted them and we commented on them. It's not like I said "this graph shows Arteta should be sacked on the spot", I just felt like it highlighted some concerns. But I definitely emphasised that things could improve in some of them and I'd see how things go in the coming weeks.
Also it's the international break, there's very little to actually talk about.
