@abovebeyondkct658915 күн бұрын
We’re not losing our passion from lack of quality. That’s superficial. We’re losing our passion because the team has been hearing the same bullshit message for 5+ years from the same man with absolutely ZERO success. If your boss tells you the same story for half a decade and the business just consistently failed, wouldn’t you begin to get a bit bored and disenchanted? It’s even more exaggerated in sports. Aside from Arteta’s absurd transfers, tactics, decisions, and demeanor, it’s the fact that his message has become stale and entirely falling on deaf ears amongst the players. He hasn’t earned the right to be our manager anymore.

Arteta's post match interview really angered me. He should be apologizing to the fans and apologizing on behalf of our underperforming players who unacceptably missed sitters to win the game.

His lack of taking responsibility is an insult to the fans and does not show the mentality of a trophy winning manager.

When Arteta CHOSE to buy Havertz for £65M and give him £275k/wk, he made a clear decision to completely change our attack. In 22/23 we were offensively brilliant; we attacked the half-spaces and consistently tore apart opposing defences. Martinelli/Odegaard/Saka all in triple digits, Jesus looked sharp, Chaka chipped in frequently and our attack was free flowing. Why was the reason we fell off that year? Mainly because Saliba got injured and our defence couldn’t hold up. Really all we had to do was go again with that same style, keep our players healthy by rounding out the squad with a bigger squad that could do the job. Instead, Arteta signs Kai Havertz, lets Xhaka leave, and completely changes our attack. Havertz was and still is the defining factor. HE changes our attack so drastically from what Xhaka provided in that there is no connection between defence and attack, which is why the entire team has to move up and down the field together. There’s no more attacking of the half spaces. It’s just side to side or backwards until the entire unit is up the field, but by that time the opposing defence is all back and in position, and we just cross and hope. The attack from 22/23 with this defence would WIN. But for whatever reason Arteta got scared, bought into his own hype too much, made that stupid move for Havertz, and now is desperately trying to prove he’s not the idiot he is to the detriment of our own team.

Because it doesn’t fit HIS style. Good managers tailor their game to the skills of the players, not stubbornly fail over and over trying to push their own, all while financially ruining the club.

You hit the nail on the head James. We are one of the best teams at creating turn overs but are near the bottom for converting them. You said that there was no one sprinting forward in transition and you are correct. What happens when Liverpool heads in to transition is they sprint to the attack like we did in the second half of last season and all of the season before. What we do now and did in the first half of last season is to protect the ball, instead of going forward and catching our opponents off balance and in defensive disarray like Liverpool does, we slow thing down and pass the ball sideways or backward to let everyone get into their predesignated position and then we start our attack. By the time that happens, the 9 defenders are back, and we are running into a brick wall. This is all on Arteta and his tactics.For things to get any better, 1 of 2 things has to happen. 1) Arteta abandons this failed system of his and goes back to what we are actually good at or 2) Arteta gets fired . I dont see either happening because Arteta is too stubborn, and the board will not fire him. What will take is a combination of a mass fan back lash and the likes of Saliba, Saka, White, Gabriel, and Odegaard refusing to resign and going else where to win silverware. Then we are back to where we were 5 years ago. At this point, I don't think there really is a single player on this team who is happy by the way they are being told to play. The joy that we saw from these players at the end of last season and the entire season before is gone and has been replaced by pure frustration at what they are being yold what to do.

Defender dangles a leg, striker gets caught and falls over. These are always pens, or at least 50/50. They got away with a goal given as offside (another 50/50), and a couple of red cards such as the headbutt. James, I don't like to say it, but you're gaslit.

The creativity issue isn’t just only the personnel but the style of play. We very rarely take advantage of space. Slow build up and lack of movement off the ball. That’s on Mikel. But also our recruitment in midfield (left 8) hasn’t been good enough. Since xhaka left we signed havertz be play that role, didn’t work as he’s not a creative player at all. In the same window we could’ve signed Macalister for half the price or even Maddison , Szoboszlai etc. Previously missed out on Bruno G for 30m and Paqueta for 40. That’s on Edu & Mikel. This summer we finally signed the right profile but the wrong player. Koopminers or Fabian Ruiz were much better options. Both technically superior to Merino and more creative. Ours short comings this season are ultimately a result of poor recruitment. We HAVE to improve our talent ID otherwise we’ll fall even further behind.

As much as I'm worried about the board, Arteta and the Team I'm also worried about the fan base ... The support from the crowd is just not good enough at the moment - we can downplay this fact but I think we should just be honest and assess that this might be one of the many reasons why the team is especially struggling in home games ... Everybody has to step up and play their part now or else the season will be gone soon: the owners, Arteta, the players and the Fans! ... I'm also worried that some players will start to think "why should I even play for a club with fans that only support us when everything goes right?"

Finally arteta listened to us and started using Martinelli more optimally. Just a shame his shooting boots have been off for a while. If we can keep using him in this way, with constant movement between the front 3, we look better for it

James, the Arsenal DNA is creativity straight down the middle , cuts through the heart of defence . This holding the width is almost as if the forward line never really commits to making a goal . Also the amount of crosses is insane. The irony is this is what lost Tierney his place in the team . It’s an over coached team . Watch Wenger team’s attack. Pep ball has been figured out and Arteta has got the tailwinds of a changing cycle . Mikel needs to change his style of football very very quickly .

I really think Havertz has a place in this team behind a proper striker. Havertz is just never the solution for a Number 9. Scoring is just not Havertz' strength and i don't think Artetas' plan was to play him there. In that case, YES, Arteta should have rather bought someone to fix our scoring issues in hindsight. But with Merino and Havertz covering that LCM / Shadow striker role we are worldclass in midfield if everyone is on form. We just lack massivly in the Attack (bar Saka obviously).

Arteta has ended up building a really good squad. All hires are a risk, though. And strikers with the biggest fees…. are therefore the biggest risk. If you spend big on a striker, without the rest of the team behind them, you can easily waste a large hire. I personally think that Arteta has done well. He just needs the guts to hire a player who isn’t his usual style. He needs a big lump up front..!! 6’2” - average 1st touch, and lazy off the ball, but mercenary in front of goal. Arteta needs to be brave.

Appalling finishing. That's all there is to it. You wont win games if you constantly need Xg of 4.0 to win a game. And it's by the whole team. Havertz will get the usual stick, but not one of these players seems to be able to convert a simple tap-in at the moment. But I'm sure Arteta instructed everyone to miss a goal from 2-3 yards out. Well played United. You came with a plan and it worked for you.

Havertz is the biggest mistake in Arsenal's history, I dreaded that he will be played in front of Jesus now that Jesus started to score nearly every chance.
