Simon Jordan Sounds the ALARM for Mikel Arteta, WARNING His Team Could Be Facing "REGRESSION!" 😳👀❌

[@Leon-y2g]

To have spent about 800 million over what 5 seasons? And to still be reliant on just one player and use that he is injured as an excuse is poor.

[@deanhenry6582]

Who’s making excuses? Apart from plastic fans. Arteta isn’t, the players aren’t, real supporters aren’t. 🤷🏽

[@Stevenbutterworth1992]

Arsenal have spent just under 700 million. Even Tottenham have spent more in 3 years. Who can replace odegard? He’s irreplaceable just like Salah for Liverpool and de Bruyne for city.

[@Daveyj000]

Chelsea and United have spent more and look where they've been the last few seasons. Why's it only arsenal who get spoken about financially.

[@Leon-y2g]

@@Stevenbutterworth1992 comparing against other clubs to make yaself feel better. Il repeat what I originally said. And it’s not a case if a player is irreplaceable or not. Irreplaceable means when it’s time that particular player moves on or retires. Being out for a few games here n there , that’s what a squad is for. That’s why he spent you say 700 mill is it? Ok. When you do compare with other clubs tho, when salah is out for a few games here n there, like last season, Liverpool coped very well. Won the league cup infact. City pretty much went 3 quarters if not more of last season without bryun and still won the league ffs. So you failed big time with the irrelevant comparison. Cheers

When Neville said Arsenal are good favourites to win the league, Keown interpreted that as "you're just saying that to put pressure on arsenal, you're doing that on purpose to make them lose".

Will the Arteta fan club finally wake up & smell the coffee?! The moment he got appointed was the moment that we were in line for embarrassment, I was firmly against his appointment & warned people that we ain’t winning anything with this fool in charge. All he is is just a Spanish Southgate. So much so that I’ve actually stopped going to games (call me a fake fan all you want, I wasn’t one of you lot conveniently leaving at 2-0 down to “avoid the traffic” when we blew it against Aston Villa last season!). I do not want to give Guardiola’s former kitman a penny of my hard earned money. Can you not see he’s taking us for a ride? Been rewarded with a £15m per annum salary & what has he achieved exactly? He has committed many sackable offences since his failed tenure took place. Believe me, I could write a book on them. I think my total count might even be potentially triple figures?! This season is not a title challenge anymore, honestly it’s a battle for top 4. Simon is absolutely right that we’ve regressed dramatically. P.S. Before anyone says “get lost & go support Tottenham”, honestly that is getting boring. Get a grip & think of something original. Arteta Out!

What’s baffling, truly baffling is that arteta has regressed his team through design every year. This first year of being decent, they had Martinelli, Jesus, saka playing this sort of interchangeable football rotating all around the place. Xhaka would be involved on the left and Ben white would do overlaps of the right. Both our wingers were SMOKING the league. Does arteta build on that? No, he gets rid of xhaka who was the guts and backbone of our midfield and buys Havertz. He tries putting him in midfield for the first part of the season, puts Partey at right back. A complete mess. But the set piece coach becomes the star and our set pieces and corners become our big threat and makes every team fearful of us. The next year, for some reason, arteta gets rid of that too. Every single thing that seems like a style of play that works, he seems to want to throw in the trash and try something new. Against Newcastle, I’ve no idea what the f his plan was. It’s a mess

[@Bobsam-m1p]

That doesn't make sense because every year arsenal has improved their points tally, goals, chances created, clean sheets, lessened chances conceded, broken so many records as well. There's really no argument on any metric other than trophy that can be used to say that we have regressed each year. Make zero sense. You can't even use this season as a measure because it's only ten games in and we started in a similar fashion last year too

Every time I read about how much they have spent it’s a different number. I think we can all agree it’s around 600 million over his 4 1/2 to 5 years spell. All these people trying to make it out to be worse than it is I am not an Arsenal fan but if we are going to say things try and be factual. It’s a huge amount of money for very little success and I agree with Simon they are going backwards.

Doesn’t matter, stats are that since he took charge of us in late 2019 he has the highest net spend of any manager. That list does include Guardiola but you can even include previous managers like Klopp, Mourinho, Solskjaer, Ten Hag, etc. However, what did he achieve with the exception of the FA Cup (with Emery’s team!)?!

[@deanhenry6582]

This time last season, spurs were top. Stop panicking. Stop making excuses. Favorites are still the favorites I’m afraid

[@MarkChandler-fb1fm]

Arsenal spent a lot of money but that money is for just catching up to the other teams. They lost their chance last year.

[@Hm32271]

They'll win the league next season, for sure.

[@hangrytechie5694]

Do Arsenal get a bit too much coverage in the media and socials? 🤔 Slight overeaction. If Arsenal had another win on the board, nobody would be talking. Teams go through bad patches and they bounce back. There are no easy fixtures, but a couple of good results this week can instill renewed confidence. Liverpool were leading the PL last year (many people forget) before Klopp announced he'd be leaving. The thinking was it would inspire the team to leave the boss with a parting gift. It had the opposite effect and they faltered (or what anti-Arsenal fans term 'bottled it'). Plenty of excuses rang out in the aftermath, but far less media reaction and they were more forgiving. Undoubtedly the link between midfield and attack is missing in that final third. Letting ESR go without replacement was probably the biggest mistake, unless they felt Trossard and youth players could cover in the event of an injury.

Yep...Smith rowe should not have been sold...playing well at Fulham..shame..gazzgooner

[@SwiftGifts-ni6qz]

Arsenal are going to smash teams this season keep watching

[@arjanndoj4444]

Arsenal is not far from being a Beast. They miss strikers. One in the center and one on the left. Maybe another midfielder. They can fix that in a transfer window.

[@sbanetaylor5323]

They had their chance and messed it up twice

[@bambamunlicensed9085]

Arsenal can win History shows you need no less than 3 losses to win the title People can talk but that’s fact

[@legendaltair2733]

Title is gone.. Arteta should go out and play open football.. Havertz should be inside the box and wingers should spray crosses into the box

[@wafulanathan547]

What people don't know is that this criticism motivates Arteta your about to start seeing humiliation of teams and bantering teams iys bette you stop criticizing

[@Cristobal_2012]

Arteta likes it when teams roll over and let Arsenal play and win basically

[@ronaldhearne934]

Arsenal will never be good enough to win the title. Arsenal play good football and have the quality to win big matches and go on winning runs putting a series of good wins together. But as soon as Arsenal get hit by bad injuries or something goes wrong they wilt.Arsenal have not good the professional hunger and cold blooded hunger nor desire to win the title. Arsenal are far too soft.

[@bobp4]

And yet only one major injury in wo seasons, they don't even have that as an excuse.
