[@BeforeThisNovember]

We won’t be regarded as great until we win things - and rightly so. But I think all (most) of us here know just what we have and how special this thing is that Arteta has/is creating. It’s well within us to win major honours from here on out, and when we do start winning them, I think what Arteta has done here will go down in football history and he will well be on his way to being one of, if not the, greatest manager ever. We have an extremely enviable team, as far as rivals are concerned. A real group of good lads who fight for each other and have an abundance of quality. I’ve supported this team for getting on for 2 decades and this is the most proud I’ve ever been. I now watch us and have faith and trust that we will perform (unlike the last decade, where we knew we could thrash any team on our day, but it was also way more likely we would capitulate). But ultimately, it IS about trophies. Arteta and the players will all go on to have great careers regardless, but this team and project, and most importantly us fans, deserve to win these things together.

[@kayembamvula5495]

Love the Mourinho comparison, but it falls short when we counter attack. We really lack in transitional inevitability. We do make up for that in set piece situations. Great result this weekend.

[@TobiMesh]

My feelings exactly. Our counter attacks lack incision. Soo frustrating to see soo many fast break opportunities break down. If we can sharpen that, I'll take Mourinho ball all day

Great video. I have to push back on the idea that journalists have no choice to ask the awful baiting questions. They are the ones who willingly participate and from whose mouth spills forth garbage. There are those in sports journalism who dont do this, and the culture wont change without resistance. Ange is right to stand his ground and call a spade a spade. Im a diehard Arsenal fan, but I appreciate his candor and transparency. When the media treat him with respect, he'll return it. As an American, I find british football punditry APPALLING. I would and do much rather digest content/news from smaller creators like you and James B. I dont know if theres a blindspot from living with terrible journalism, but I encourage you to take another critical look.

[@shyam2630]

Mourinho did translate well in his second spell where he had Fabregas in the Jorginho role and Matic in the Xhaka/Merino role. They really played fantastic football.

[@felixoptikqualla1550]

To be honest, I respect Mourinho a lot. Lots of mistakes during his various stints but also huge achievements and especially in his Chelsea and Porto days, you could hear that the players stood behind Mourinho in the same way Mourinho stood behind his players. Great spirit and the ability to adapt the system needed to combat a stronger opponent. I mean 3 CL titles speaks volumes for his qualities.

[@laurilendsalu6709]

The big thing with Arteta is also that he knew and already loved the club he took over. And, he also knew the difficulty of the situation he was coming into. In comparison, bin Ange is sulking a bit, because, when some Spurs fans wanted them to lose to City last season, he realised what he has got himself into. Similarly to Conte. I'll still give Ange the benefit of the doubt as people can actually learn quickly. But yeah, it seems to be a pattern there and it would be cool to see in some sort of a parallel reality whether Arteta could turn that around at Spurs. The environment and the culture from top to bottom are huge for talented people to properly work their magic.

[@DreDeluxe76]

This was such a satisfying result, and one that would have been almost impossible to imagine given the surrounding circumstances going into the match, if it was taking place 5-6 years ago.

[@rickydawson7388]

If Arteta was a new Mourinho, he wouldn't be afraid to make substitutions when Plan A isn't working. Arteta wouldn't be afraid to lock the back door after gaining a hard-fought lead by a goal. For example, if Arteta was a new Mourinho, Arsenal would have been able to hold a 1-Nil with a man down against Brighton - because Mourinho would have made defensive changes as soon as Declan was sent off, not after the opposition already scored, not in the 70th and 80th minutes. Arteta is afraid to use his entire squad (through substitutions and rotation), Mourinho is/was not.

[@calvinl3421]

Yeah that’s something I’m still surprised at - arteta seems to learn from his mistakes very often and quickly; but yet he still struggles on the plan b, in both speed and effectiveness(on a general basis) I was shouting at the screen when he changed to a back 5 against Brighton becuase that’s not how/when we are good defensively and it seemed like he didn’t think the decision through at all and was just doing anything. If arteta can improve his on the spot problem solving (can easily be done by practicing some stuff in advance to give him more options) he will be a truly top, top coach

I had similar thoughts while watching the game, I loved how aggressive we were defensively without going to far, reminded me of the good old days when we had those physical imposing players at the back, although Timber is shorter than Ben White, Saliba and Gabriel he was the most versatile player all game, very exciting times ahead!

BOOOORING BOOOORING ARSENAL We played so often like this under George Graham, our other best modern manager with Wenger. He won two titles and a European trophy with that style, including that season that ended with the iconic Anfield '89 game (better ending than City 2012 btw). I don't usually take much from what Gary Neville says, but he did mention Arteta being like a fusion of Wenger and Graham, and I love that. Obviously there's more to it, but it feels like we've come full circle.

[@Qlicky]

People are giving this too much thought. Arsenal plays 5-6 games like this in a season tops. Arteta is very flexible and plays the game according to what's in front of him. He also doesnt seem to care whether Arsenal win 1:0 or 5:0. He wants the points and a clean sheet.
