Mikel Arteta: Aston La Vista To The Title?

[TheEliteMaster100_]

He is not the manager to help get us over the line when it comes to major silverware.

Too robotic/automatic, no individual brilliance. Pathetic UCL campaign..

 

[Sanchez11]

Dont get his mentality tbh, bad squad management. Needs 6 players maybe more, need game raisers amongst them.

PL merchant. We've seen him dominate football illiterates and roided spastics in England and thought that would translate to the real world.

Got a lucky win vs Sevilla, lost vs Lens, dominated by Porto, crashed out against Bayern in shambles.

 

[bingobob]

So it is the league or nothing. He needs to win it or he should be asking himself questions.

 

[Pop Tart]

He does not seem to know how to motivate players when it really matters. two halfs in a row where we have not been urgency and it has cost us. lack of rotation too.

We always end seasons badly with him, run out of steam

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

Not happy at all with the manager and the players in the last two games. Shame because up until then we were playing top football.

 

[Tourbillion]

He's got to go. He's not learning.

 

[KarlAFC]

I'll wait to see how we respond in the league with just 6 games left. If we're in the title race to the very end it won't feel like a totally **** season but I'd question our actual ability to win trophies under this manager. His cup record domestically and in Europe is hugely underwhelming a d needs to improve from next year.

 

[Rattata]

Horrible ingame management. It continues to be such a weakness of him. Either he can't read the game properly which I highly doubt or he is to stubborn.

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

So it is the league or nothing. He needs to win it or he should be asking himself questions.

Bet Mikel is now staring in the mirror saying please win the league now or here comes the questions. Do you want to ask your self the questions? No you don't want it. You are better than asking your self questions.

You should really only over instruct bad players. Good players should be allowed to express themselves.

 

[dka1]

Frustrated and disappointed, but there are six big games left. We can win the league and make it a successful season, or lose vs Wolves Saturday and people will call for his head probably

*Sigh*

This performance against Bayern in the 2nd half really has me concerned tbh. I'm just hoping that we can still do something in the last 6 games but this game has really knocked my belief in this team icl.

I suppose overall reaching the quarters in our first attempt back into the CL for ages is good, really good, and once my disappointment subsides I'll look back at it as a decent achievement, even if I feel we could've gone further.

Let's see how we react in our remaining games.

 

[ThisFather]

Skill issue against Bayern.

Premier League is poor. That's why we are challenging. We got found out against a proper European team tonight.

 

[North_Bank_Gooner]

How much more evidence does everyone need to finally realise he's a fraud?

 

[GoonerJeeves]

Our manager this decade

I know you're being sarcastic but that is exactly what he should be doing. Critical evaluation is necessary for development. He has made some massive blunders in the last few games and needs to own them. And if he can't then someone above him needs to do the necessary. If he can't learn from his mistakes (and all evidence shows that he isn't) then he needs to go.

 

[Dennis_Bergkamp_10]

Loses to Villa and Bayern, at least Mikel is making sure Sp**s aren't having an easy route to the CL.

He needs a strong league finish, otherwise it will feel underwhelming for most fans. In reality, we were never favourites so a league challenge and CL QF in his first try isn't bad, but it also means he's empty handed again.

He needs to go for a cup next year. People want silverware, otherwise you'll become a laughing stock.

 

[Rattata]

The loss against Wolves at the weekend is so obviously coming. We always have negative runs under Arteta for some reason.

 

[Ljonin]

I like him, but he has a lot to prove next season I’m afraid. The bottler reputation is becoming a real issue.

He was scared tonight I think, and it transmitted to the players. Poor.

 

[Batman]

Fully expect us to bend over for Wolves. He is yet to show that he can prevent bleeding from turning into hemorrhaging when things go wrong. You cannot have a manager come out and say in the media that he knows your attack is dependent on one side, double up on that side, dare you to beat him on the other side where a Joshua Kimmich that my nan would skin in a foot race and Eric f*cking Dier are the impediments and then fail to score. Every year he burns the same players out while ensuring that those who don't get game time are not ready when called upon. Every year he finds something that works, often by accident or a circumstance outside of his control and then abandons it nonsensically trying to prove he's clever. Enough is enough. Buy some players who can make things happen 1v1 and run at a man and let your team play football.
