Remember, Arteta as a manager has given Arsenal the most statistically successful season, goals, clean sheets, points - not winning because of a 2 point gap under City does not make Arteta a bad manager. So many clowns criticising him.

All he needed to do was drop his ego and sign a striker and we would’ve won the title. He’s a good manager to an extent but we’ll never win anything under him, if we’re being realistic. Too defensive, the problems in attack have been obvious but he ignores them

I know it's too early to talk about it but its never too late so trust his process because only an ex player can overturn and understand the club well. I believe ex player with strong mentality can nurture the club well and proper. I wish him all the best of Luck. "North london forever commin ARSENAL."

I am really enjoying all the arsenal fans going from spending 2 years talking about "building a special project" and acting like they Madrid are scared to play them. To now talking about red cards injuries and how difficult it is to win the league against City (who they were actually way ahead of multiple times when they lost it against smaller teams) After spending ridiculous money - The last thing Arsenal actually won was one FA cup against Lampard 5 years ago with the old Team inherited from Emery and two time 'top at Christmas' trophy. Even The horrendous Ten Hag won more in 2 years with Jonny Evans and Amribat at the tragic Man United. But of course we must remember "how much they have improved"...since they came 8th - their worst finish in 30 years. Big wow. For the last few years, when Arsenal bottled the league every season, fans have comforted themselves saying they have been "building something special". Of course, we all laughed. They really thought they were up there with City and Madrid. Now, even when Man City have many key players injured and out of form, dropping points, Arsenal have found a way to still be 10 points behind in 6th place only 10 games in. Arsenal will certainly not win any trophies this season. Delusional cope. And now I wait for all the excuses to come flooding in...I think they will try to blame the shape of the ball next.

Any Arsenal fan who wants Arteta out NEEDS to seriously think about the horrible position the club was in BEFORE he took over! Then look at how he’s restored the club to challenging for major trophies quite quickly & we only missed out on the title last season by 2 points! I KNOW how much it hurts still! Then ask yourself “EXACTLY why hasn’t ANY team been able to take the premier league title away from City for the last 6 years”? Because City have got the best manager in the world & they’ve got a top class starting 11 & squad. BUT they broke FFP 115 to achieve what they have & Arsenal DO NOT break the FFP rules like City! SO that makes it even harder to take the title away from them as they have all the experience & knowledge to win it AGAIN guided by the best manager in world football! So SUPPORT our manager, team & club in the difficult times as that’s what THEY need to hopefully win a trophy this year! Do you remember the Arsenal chant “it’s Arsenal till we die”? REAL Gooners support the team when they need it the most…in difficult times! COYG 😍

Arsenal hand the intiative to their rivals, too many times. Regardless of the reason, you still need the un-injured players to perform. Younger managers rely alot of things going well in terms of injuries / decisions etc .. an older manager knows a bit more how to rough it even when the odds are against them. The UCL in mid week plus the PL on weekends was going to be difficult for them because they're not a seasoned CL team... 2-3 years no ... 5-6 years then you'll see the resilience to get results under fatigue.
