Was that way when he won the treble up the road.
The problem is he thinks he can just plop the model down anywhere in the world and it will continue to cook.
He's now, hopefully, beginning to understand that the prem will need high quality ingredients for it to be palatable, at all.
It's his first season; we'll likely finish 5th (everyone would have taken that at the beginning of the season); fans have got their 'entertaining football' back they screamed for, after Jose and Conte; so, everyone just give the man that first season scope to make his mistakes and then begin to lay down the hammer if we start next season the same,
Go back and look at the football and results Arteta got, his first few seasons.
Shocking.
Now look where he is, after fans gave him time to get his head around things.
NO ONE WINS FROM SACKING ANGE OTHER THAN BALDCUNT.
He's not really a fraud, he shouldn't have been given the job in the first place. He'd been doing his thing in very, very inferior leagues for 20 years and then suddenly gets a massive job in the most competitive league in the world. The fraud is Levy.Like many of us had suspicions in the back of our minds, even when he first joined
The mans a fraud. Back to the J league please.

Hes had a full squad most of this year. Results have been bad, yet hes not interested in resultsWe don't know if he is the right horse, becuase it's his first season, which has been wrought with injuries, suspensions and disruption and he is not even halfway to having the squad he needs to compete in this league.
No.We don't know if he is the right horse, becuase it's his first season, which has been wrought with injuries, suspensions and disruption and he is not even halfway to having the squad he needs to compete in this league.
He is out of his depth, no plan B. Look at Woolwich. Top of the league, knew they were coming to us, adjusted the way they normally play and they’re 3-0 up at half time.
You need to adapt. He said his teams only play one way. You’re now playing in the best league in the world, with top managers paid millions to figure you out.
We don't fucking care what fucking arfuckingteta did.2020–: Arteta era
On 20 December 2019, Woolwich appointed former club captain Mikel Arteta as the new head coach. Woolwich finished the league season in eighth, their lowest finish since 1994–95, but beat Chelsea 2–1 to earn a record-extending 14th FA Cup win.[99] After the season, Arteta's title was changed from head coach to manager.[100] On 18 April 2021, Woolwich were announced as a founding club of the breakaway European competition The Super League;[101] they withdrew from the competition two days later amid near-universal condemnation.[102] Woolwich finished the 2020–21 season in eighth place once again, not qualifying for a European competition for the first time in 26 years.
It took Arteta time to work it all out and design the squad for his requirements.
Thought there was always a clamour for him to be sacked, the fans, ultimately, gave him that time and now are being rewarded with consistent, quality performances.
Symptomatic of just open naivety. And sadly that's the thing he's shown buckets of.He also fucked himself at the start of the season with that speech about not questioning the officials, all the top coaches put pressure on the officials and it often works.
It's just more naivety imo.
Too simplistic.Hes had a full squad most of this year. Results have been bad, yet hes not interested in results
If Mick McCarthy was managing us and we finished 8th would you use that argument?2020–: Arteta era

We may as well have no defence, that's how naive he's been.Symptomatic of just open naivety. And sadly that's the thing he's shown buckets of.
It's also totally fucking irrelevant. That we are losing don't bother me at all it's the way we are repeatedly losing its fucking emblematic of a deeper unaddressed structural problem. But hey ho "Something something something...Arteta"
Decentish first 10 before the system was exposed and teams figured out what to do.Too simplistic.
He's had a decent first 11 that started well, then got shattered with injury and then came back in drips and drabs and we lost our momentum and flow and it hasn't come back, since.
Again, he's only half way irt having his squad, tailored for his game.
He's still having to learn what players can cope with it.
7 goals conceded in two games is demoralising, the players won't keep up believing in this shit.He's not really a fraud, he shouldn't have been given the job in the first place. He'd been doing his thing in very, very inferior leagues for 20 years and then suddenly gets a massive job in the most competitive league in the world. The fraud is Levy.
We'll go down if this guy is backed.
The players won't carry on doing this week after week.
Don't convince yourself some miracle comeback is on here either btw.
We lost 4 nil away to a depleated Newcastle side. The only time we played well was away to villa.Too simplistic.

The person I was actually replying to does, as scum was central to his point.
