The big one is tomorrow. Arteta rolled the entire season on Europa League. He has to deliver.
My big fear?
Galaxy brain.
There are so many temptations and potential traps that could down us.
Do you bring David ‘BIG GAME’ Luiz back in the mixer?
Does Auba start?
Does he risk Tierney or Lacazette despite them having no game time?
Internet people are saying we should roll all the dice. For me, that’s dim thinking. Nothing wrecks an Arsenal plan worse than an early smack in the face. Losing players that are important to the system isn’t good for the system. Also, losing players for the final would also be disastrous.
I’d prefer to lessen the risk by playing fit players who want to perform.
The biggest galaxy brain worry is rolling out a Villareal tactical plan built for Manchester City level players. We’re not there yet. 20-year-olds in the false 9 role is not going to work tomorrow. We need to have a simple plan every single player can follow. That means the right players in the right positions. We have enough fitness to deliver on that vision.
Auba is fit, he wants to lead, he’ll have horrendous memories of his miss last year, that desire to prove the world wrong will be key. That feels like a huge boost.
Martinelli was on fire at the weekend, he’s in form, he should land a starting role.
Odegaard created 5 chances against Newcastle, if you’re playing Auba, you need him on the pitch.
Then it’s tough because you have Lacazette, Saka, and Pepe pushing for starts.
We need to win 1-0. Simple as that. Then we’re through. I would prefer destruction. I’m not sure we’ll get that, but we certainly did away for Slavia Prague.
If we win, Arteta has made a second final in two of the toughest ever seasons. That’s good work. He’ll still need to win the final, but it certainly takes the edge off the league season.
I don’t even want to contemplate a loss.
Whatever the result, there’s still a lot of introspection about this season to be had. It’s not been good enough. A trophy won’t change that.
… but, it’ll go a long way. It’s the memory zapper in MIB. We all need a memory zapper for this season.
Fingers crossed Arteta has something special lined up.
Pedro lost all credibility,.
Absolute disgrace. Gutless garbage.
Arteta gotta leave now, we’re getting worse and worse
I hope you all put some respect on Emerys name. ANOTHER EUROPEAN FINAL FOR EMERY
good ebening lol
Partey was so bad because of Arteta stupid formation, he made Coquelin looking like world class.
Arteta out!
Utd will win it though. Lol
Ah Emery, king of the europa league lol
Emery turned out to be better than Arteta. We need a new process and a new plan. Fuck of Arteta. We are done.
Dont worry
They ll promise a “big” summer and sell us.down the river again
This feels numb
Why the fuck were we playing so slow in a game we needed to score? Why why why
A very very very heavy SIGH!
Looks like we are owned by the lioNs ownership in the nfL.
Have not won a playoff game and do give one flying f…
This club will never win jack with the scum we have in charge.
On the le Grove Podcast coming to us soon
Here’s Jonny ! 🪓
#PedroOut
I didn’t watch the game but over the course of two legs, Emery had the better defence.
Arteta has finally taken us out of Europe.
Sorry for Esr … so young and the cameras now all on him
Just when you think they cant disappoint you any more…….fucking pathetic first 45, possibly worse second half. Too many times turning away from the attacking half. Really really fucking poor and for the first time I am with the Arteta Out brigade.
Just shut down the club
Anceloti was not good enough for many fans. Cant believe how so much trust and power is given to unproven people. Completely speechless
Its simple. They downtooled emery for petty reasons. They didn’t play for him. Of course the team would suffer. It wasn’t Emery fault.
The only goal we scored in this tie was a refereeing give away.
Emery is a baaaaad manager yet he easily beat the hand-picked generational buffoon.
Emery’s Villarreal with a bunch of old cast-offs knock out the multimillion Arsenal.
Hurray process hurray!
Shit owner.
Shit manager. Shit tactics. Shit motivation. Shit first 70 minutes. Shit desire.
90% shit players
Shit.
Kroenke out, Arteta out, Pedro out.
Awful fucking shitfest.
Lowest night in a number of years sums it up well.
Villarreal’s first European final ever, some might even call that………..a generational achievement?
Value of club just fallen 25% will Kroenke bail out?
How about this Villarreal manager Emery as a replacement for Arteta?
He’s experienced, won plenty of trophies and promotions
Generally punches above his weight, apparently speaks some English
The fact Arteta decided to play defensive when we are down 1-0 should have been enough to break the camel’s back.
Still, I decided to wait until FT. But there’s more that can be done or said anymore.
So many imbecile decisions.
Bellerin completed the full 90.
No attacking plan other than sideways pass pass pass.
Playing defensive against an average side with 0 pace in them after Chukweuze got injured.
Getting outsmarted by Emery who is operating on 1/4th the budget.
Not subbing off Bellerin at HT.
ARTETA OUT.
ESR missing the open net – damn.
Unai exacts revenge. We’re shit and might not be playing in Europe for a long stretch. Maybe Stan will sell….
If we’re a serious club, Arteta won’t be here next season.
But since this is Arsenal in 2021, he probably will.
Sack the stupid Lego head cunt first thing
If anyone is arguing with an arteta supporter just repeat every time “ he lost to Emery “ no more needs to be said
where is Cazorla that tampon muncher…
Stay under your rock you dimwit
Arteta out!
Edu,
Grow some balls and sack this generationally useless arrogant fraud of a manager.
Not only is arteta not a generational talent, he’s the worst manager we’ve had in 30 years. One of the worst I’ve seen full stop.
I pray he’s sacked and with no European footy next season the Kroenkes sell up.
It will be funny if Bummery wins the EL and get CL football
Dany S
He won’t, he still think Ivan G a good CEO lol.
The problem is not Pedro, the problem is those who come here supporting Arteta lol.
PATHETIC
Next season will be the start of a new era for us, no european football for the first time in 25 years.
At least we’ll have the middle of the week free…….
First manager to take Arsenal OUT of Europe in 25 years
That’s the generational coaching there for you people.
Pedro show up here and apologise to those of us who have been calling out you and the intern you puffed up
nothing to play for now… hope to see at least Azeez Balogun Reiss play
We’ve got a couple of really good young players, Arteta needs to go so we can protect them because if he stays and makes the reek of dog shit stay longer they will be picked off by Chelsea / United / Liverpool / etc. and per Stapledon / Anderson / Van Persie we will have to watch our players prosper with different clubs. Pull the band aid off now, have security walk him out the building now
You know what the worst thing is?
What a waste of time and resources Arteta has been, the man never should have been hired in the first place. Disgraceful hire ig we are being honest. Should have been sacked before Christmas.
Arteta will never manage another club after this.
This starts at the top down not the guy that writes the blog mugs.?
I remember being told Arteta was the right decision instead of CARLO ANCELOTTI. What were people smoking? At least our young players will get out of jail card now if he goes.
Emery destroyed Arteta tactically BOTH GAMES. Arsenal went in the tie just because a non existent penalty.
Villarreal was the better team, we were lucky last week and we were shit again this week.
Burnley, Everton Leicester, Wolves at home, Villa back to. back, worst position in the league since 1994, no europe since 1995¡ GENERATIONAL STUFF ALL THE WAY
“Next season will be the start of a new era for us, no european football for the first time in 25 years.
At least we’ll have the middle of the week free…….”
at least Arteta can give them more drills in BS
Will be very intresting to see how Pedro will spin this one tomorrow.
180 minutes and we managed two shots on target.
Pathetic stuff, deserve every bit of criticism for the rubbish season.
That was humiliating towards the last minute or two, crab-passing to nowhere.
Not one positive to single out for tonight. Dark times ahead unless this cunt is sacked.
Pedro gonna get savaged.
It’s not just Arteta though is it he has failed but the board is incompetent I don’t trust them to get the new manager right
Rangnick is still available as either manager or director of football or both.
“:Pedro out.””
Looooool wtf. Pedro out where?
It’s his blog
Some people still trust Arteta to another transfer window.
When some of us starting making noise from the end of September that Arteta wasn’t good enough, the abuse we got in the comments and from Pedro.
But being smug about being right is all I have as Arteta has fucked this season up. So you’ll have to deal with the smugness.
Fuck off bt advertising arsenal v West Brom on the weekend ? What’s the fucking point it’s essentially a friendly for us now . Utter pointless game to watch
Commentators questioning why auba was taken off chasing a game and he didn’t look fatigue
All media talks about the lack of apparent desire , enthusiasm, and attacking the Villarreal goal, and of course the history Arteta the fucker made again
What a pathetic display,2 shots on target the whole match.
Sorry,Arteta has to go now,he has no excuses left to offer.
At least Willian will get his appearance fee.
A new low.
It was all very clear that Arteta was clearly in over his head from a very early stage. Pedro refused to see it. I hope it’s clear now.
These players are not top but Arteta has made them worse. No direction, no plans, overthinking, favourites, stubborn, zero in game management
Post match interview: it’s an unacceptable performance…. rinse repeat
Everyone from Vinai down to arteta should go.
Absolute failure.
Terrible has been all season, going forward so constrained playing fine margins football.
We played without a midfield, partly on his own crying out for help. No changes , I saw the team and thought it looked fucking whacky. He thinks he’s too clover, a mini hard man .
Enough, out, no redeeming features. No good identity, value destruction , fake rules that only apply to some.
Get me somebody not up their own arse
The downfall of Arteta is his refusal to play like he’s managing a big team. Needs a goal to save his season, he removes our best finisher and brings in another striker, then when it was too late he finally brought in another striker.
If this idiot had put Lacazete in and kept Auba on we would have had a better chance. But as usual, safety first. Shit generational fraud of a manager.
Woeful performance. What was the plan?
As usual no balance in the team and too much rotation.
On this occasion I have to blame the manager, because he should have started with Martinelli. He would have worked much harder in the first half than what we have seen.
Arsenal will not be playing in Europe and the club need to think very carefully now whether we have the right manager and coaching staff at club as well as replacing some of the players.
Arsenal out of Europe for the first time in almost a quarter of a century..
Thirteen losses this season in the league..
That’s generational right there..Trust the process indeed..
Two years of having this Sunday league rookie manager rammed down our throats…
Not sure,how anyone can rationalise this guy,as the guy to take us forward.
Emery -the so-called bum manager dumps Arteta-The generational one out of Europe..
Says it all really..Arteta, the first manager in almost a quarter of century,not to have us playing in Europe..Let that sink in..
we failed to even score past a goalie almost as bad as Runarsson
Last minute and still passing the ball backwards. Such a negative performance!
A team that needed to win… We had
O N E S H O T O N T A R G E T
Coquelin had a good game.
Arteta needs to go. Our squad is not bereft of talent or quality. These performances are not near the potential of what this squad can be. A better manager would have got us CL this year.
Rich
Even if he hadn’t been booted out do you think he would for one second consider a post a5 a club that is in such a shit state
First ever European final for Villarreal.
Emery is creating history, again.
Arteta said this was the most important game for the club, but not for him.
Imbecile.
After Mourinho, my least likeable manager is Mikel. Garbage!
Wow i didnt expect that i feel shit. l actually feel sad that was so bad i will have to make myself drunk to go sleep tonight.
That was utter shit.
ARTETA OUT!
He is a generational coach, the first coach in a generation to take Arsenal out of Europe. I hope he at least has the fortitude to step down tonight.
Dont think I’ve ever felt this lowest in my time supporting Arsenal and I have only been supporting for around 5 years.
Cant think what the old timers must be going through.
The resul I would have accepted if we had gone out firing or bad luck or just poor refereeing decision.
But that was one of the poorest I have seen us play.
We had 1 shot on target to Villarreal’s 8 who deserved to not just go through but also win this game.
ARTETA HAS TO GO.
A manager who can’t coach and a blogger who does not understand football. They are made for each other.
The players are good enough the manager is a Con Artist cunt, tricked Pedro with his dress sense and the way he speaks. Emery was not stylish enough for him lol.
Pedro is on hold in a call to Arteta
In reality this is the end for Arteta. The club can continue with him in some freak perversion of theirs but we know it’s the end for Arteta. Villarreal basically bottled us up over the two legs. Fucking Villareal. We were still only in this tie because of a penalty won by Saka. We were shit in the first leg as well. Some words to describe Arteta’s teams efforts over the two legs = insipid, absent, limp, void, listless, dog shit. If this club has any ounce of ambition left in it they must announce a new manager by the… Read more »
Guns of Brix
Just a bit of levity mate, it’s badly needed after that shitshow.
Pedro – you might as well live stream the on the whistle pod so that we can all witness Johnny calling it how it is.
The WORST manager I’ve seen at Arsenal.
Arteta wont be sacked
Not until Xmas max
Club too embarrassed to sack him now.
Is what it is
Arteta is literally the worst manager I’ve ever seen in my life.
I almost feel bad somewhat because he’s not a manager, he’s sooo out of his depth. Only Arsenal would make such a risky, silly appointment then double down on it and give him almost two years in a job.
And now negativity and toxicity in the comments section for the rest of the night. I guess according to Pedro all these people are not ”true” fans because they only write in nights like tonight
I like Pedro I really do but he calls all the big ones wrong and backs all the wrong horses.
First gazidis now arteta because he is marketing guy he falls for style not substance and mislead to easily by media savvy people
No way Villarreal make a European Final without Emery.
Worse than Rioch, worse that Houston, a truly appalling manager. No idea on any aspect of managing. Absolutely appalling. I’d have keown in the mix with Freddie. Ek in., Kroenke out. Let’s start again with proper people not imposters like arteta. He was a very average player and for some reason he thinks he’s elite on every level. No self awareness at all just bullshit and mirrors. I’d have allardyce all day long over this
so much disappointment and frustration
Stick with this fucker and we’d be fighting relegation next season. But I’m sure his fan boys will still be trusting the process.
Sickening
“This starts at the top down not the guy that writes the blog mugs.?”
Actually not
The guy who writes the club ran a campaign of calumny against Emery because his favored candidate did not get the job.
Then his favored candidate got the job and was far worse, yet Pedro went after anti-Arteta posters with a flame thrower.
Graham
The last time I laughed at your post I got my comment and your comment deleted 😂
With all these multimillion pound players, we could only score over two games through a dive for a penalty, against a well organised but very limited team, with a terrible goalkeeper.A team with the budget of the likes of Brighton or Palace. And we could barely get a shot on target in 180 minutes. That is the end of the road for Arteta. If he cannot motivate his team, or play the talent he has to its maximum potential, despite having an entire year to hone them into a unit. He is still, FFS, experimenting and changing things around, never… Read more »
Pedro must call for Arteta’s head in his next post.
Nothing short of that will be acceptable from Pedro.
90 minutes of absolute shite. He has to go surely. Atmosphere will be toxic once the fans return to the stadium.
I have been a staunch supporter of Arteta but after that showing I cant think of 1 reason to keep supporting him.
Depressed like never before
Arteta should be resigning tomorrow morning… This is a new low for this club! If not the club should be letting him go… no plan, no passion… need him out of our club along with the shit owners!
Why the anger, willian bossed it when he came on. 10 mil a year and 7 assists. Tets is right we will win the cl in 2 years.
Watching Villareal celebrate on our pitch should be embarrassing to any owner.. Now out of Europe since forever. The list goes on. Sad times.
Things have to change including the manager.. but will they? Doubtful.
