I ask you again, so what?
It means that he can adapt to players who are not "his", as you're suggesting.
Which makes him even better.
Country: Saudi Arabia
He's come up short on 3 consecutive occasions flattering to deceive time & time again.
He's not hapless by any means but he's never going to be a world beater. Not with us in any case.

All games at this stage are difficult and to win something you eventually need to beat the biggest and best but there are degrees of difficulty. Playing Bayern in their current form is an easier game than playing Real Madrid. And I'd have taken either of the German sides over the Spanish teams or PSG. So yes, in terms of difficulty in my humble opinion we had an easier path than others.

I’d argue we are one manager away
I’d argue we’re one difference maker away. (The more logical argument)
Which manager do you reckon could come in and win the champions league with the current side then?

Not really though is it? Our revenue increased massively for a reason.

We shall see.
I was always consistent regarding him.
For me, minimum he has to achieve this season is to qualify for UCL next season and to fight for the title (still going on).
In Europe we are definitely better than last season, therefore he achieved certain progress there.

I would also like to see the response to this question.

How will Arteta respond to our failing left-half side in these last 6 games?

I disagree.
Bayern and then City/ Real are more difficult than Atletico/ Borussia or PSG/ Barcelona, in my humble opinion.

The PR and behind the scenes stuff is fine and I think few would deny that overall the club is in a much healthier position now than it has been for years, Arteta has played his part of course but so have many others.
Potential and building is great, at some point it has to be actualized though otherwise you end up having a Sp**s fans mentality where success is always just around the corner, but never actually comes.
This project has come a long way but for it to be judged a success we need a PL and / or CL in the next couple of years.

Anyway Arteta's not going to be removed, not should he be.
I hope he does reflect on the past couple of performances though. He has underperformed in them and it's cost us, he needs to improve. He isn't the finished article yet.

I don't think he is ****ed. Any discerning voices and they'll be out the door. The club trust him and tbh I still think he's done enough so far to keep that trust from the club. I don't like him all that much, I think he's made mistakes but gradually I'm seeing us get better under him so I think we'd be pretty dumb to throw that away.
I sympathise with the viewpoint that it's hard to win trophies. City's consistency means there's such little room for error while cup competitions can change in a moment. For me it's about raising our ceiling and the manner of some of our defeats. Three seasons in a row we've had these inexplicable runs where one bad game turns into a collapse of confidence and carries into the following 2/3 games........why??? As good as a coach can be, it is very difficult to accomodate for how your players will react in the highest of pressure moments. Gabriel has been a rock all season, past three games he's looked a nervous wreck. Does Arteta have the ability/experience to allow his players to thrive in these pressure moments? Not sure.
A real telling moment was in the all or nothing documentary. The way he prepared for Anfield. He projected his fears onto his players, telling them the story of how he mentally lost it there, playing you'll never walk alone over the speakers, he clearly values preparation but sometimes it seems he's going overboard.
One thing I will say for him is I think he has got the balls to be ruthless with this team. Only so long until young and inexperienced holds up as an excuse. World class talent/game changers is our issue now and I do think Arteta is capable of making big decisions

Ramsdale with more minutes than Vieira, ESR, Nelson and Partey
pitiful, there were games in which Nelson could have played his actual position of LW and shifted Jesus RW but nope... Vieira could have played LCM/RCM but nope...Pathetic squad maangement

Wasted our precious resources on Havertz who does not solve our midfield situation nor our striking situation. So why should be given more allocated funds?

Do you know how silly you look given that Liverpool have been battered by injuries all season and that Real Madrid have massive CL pedigree.
Do you know how silly you look given that both those managers have succeeded at the very highest level.
Do you know how silly you look given that you claimed Mikel is just as good as the tier 1 managers tactically yet lost to a team horribly out of form, missing their first choice LB and LW managed by a Tier 2/3 manager who has already resigned.
Do you know how silly you look when just a week ago you claimed that drawing to them at home (while they had no fans) was just a blip and now here we are a week later, knocked out by the same team with an even weaker line up.
Please stop.

Revenue's all well & good but if we it's not properly managed we run the risk of hamstringing ourselves with FFP as a result of punts on dross like Vieira & City's sleeper agents.
Back to blaming the squad lol. Yea Jesus is gone, probably Juve and we'll get 12m + 3m for every Ballon d'Or he wins in the next six months.
