Is it just me or does the Arteta propaganda always go into overdrive end of the season? Why are there stories from five years ago being regurgitated?

League is very weak
There is nothing else to talk about is there? Looks like no league, knocked out of the cups early.
If Alonso was in EPL, he would not have won anything. Bundesliga is more of an equal league. But it has only one outstanding team in Bayern(and Bayer this season)
Country: Iceland
Papa or Aubameyang are good candidates.

Excellent press conference, he's only looking at ourselves where we lost points. He is hopeful that West Ham can pull something off at the Etihad, but we still have to do our job.
Country: Iceland
Hope he leaves for something better.
We can go back to mid table hustling. The glory days everyone is gagging for these days! De Zerbi or some hipster coach to take over.
Siri, show me what “Peak Arsenal-Mania” looks like

Potter in!!
Country: Norway
Teitur Thordarson is the man we need.
Country: Canada
Whitecaps legend!
Country: Norway
Had no idea he had been in Canada! Managed various clubs here in Norway
Country: Canada
Yeah he was Whitecaps coach for a good stretch, including when they made the transition to MLS. Was fired a bit unfairly during or just after their first MLS season (can't quite recall) because the team was terrible but that wasn't his fault. They were still stuck with a bunch of USL players at that point. And its not like they got much better with the new guy lol

Tuchel and Xavi are available
Country: Iceland
Tuchel is a fraud.
Xavi is a talented manager but a piece of ****. If people dislike Arteta they will hate him.

Maybe we can get Owen Coyle like fans wanted back in 2010.

Mate, please don’t tell me anything about coaching; do you work in the industry? Fifteen years ago, most Premier League managers employed different playing methodologies, usually to maximize their best players' strengths. Nowadays, coaches are trying to fit square pegs into round holes.
I like Rob Edwards from Luton—I've met him a few times at coaching events. However, what he tried to do a few weeks ago against us at the Emirates, insisting on playing out from the back with those players, was just daft.
I'm sorry, but this is the level of coaching we're accepting nowadays. That Burnley coach is the worse

Don't mind an athletic powerhouse but we need to invest in a better attacking system and attackers overall , all that control and field tilt doesn't mean anything if we can't create and score.

Seems like Baldspray survived but only barely.
Tactics and coaching methods have evolved significantly over the past 15 years. It's more difficult to implement playing out of the back then it is to kick it long which was the most prevalent way of getting up the pitch.
Similarly, it's more difficult to setup a positional system where every player has a strict cog role as part of a wider machine, rather than setting up a team to feed a couple of talented players and playing predominantly through them.
If you're a coach, you would know it is much harder to develop and train the former and it requires far more from coaches in terms of competence and likewise from the players.
Whether that's what Burnley or Luton should do, maybe they aren't suited to playing like that, but I'm all for clubs all over the country focusing on technique, possession, playing on the ground and keeping the ball. It's the only way we will bridge the gap between England and the rest of Europe.
In the past, the managers did play more to their players strengths rather than forcing them into a system like we see today, but the ball also spent more time in the air than it does today, teams exchanged possession more frequently, the standard of football outside of Arsenal and Man Utd was incredibly poor.
Nowadays, you see teams like Bournemouth, Brighton and Villa play good entertaining football and that's absolutely down to the quality of coaching outside of the bigger club
and England is better for it.
