That was the beginning of the end of Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal career.
I was wrong about him. He let us all down. There’s little chance he recovers from this, and that’s coming from me, his biggest fanboy.
The young ‘manager’ had it all and he blew it. It’s not all his fault, but when you demand full responsibility, go out of your way to bolster your own power, then boy do you have to deliver. He helped create the ingredients of his own failure. Shame on Arsenal for allowing it, but there we are.
The Villareal loss was sickening for many reasons, but mostly because they aren’t very good and nor is their manager. We were totally schooled by Unai fucking Emery. That is humiliating.
Core issues from the game last night will be kept punchy and short.
Galaxy Brain
Arteta doesn’t have a back to basics function. When he’s struggling, his default seems to be to show the world how clever he is. A week after embarrassing himself by opting for a kid as a false #9, he went for Thomas Partey pivoting the entire midfield. He made us play out of the back with Hector and Holding in his defence. He gave the gloves to Leno, who wants out. He fucked the entire structure with his forwards to the point where all our best creators could barely muster a shot on target over TWO legs.
Fear
Our players aren’t the best, but that squad could easily finish top 4. We’ve seen them go to war in big games and hold their own against the best. Against Villareal, they were petrified. It was pathetic how meek we were. That comes from one person… Arteta. Whatever he’s up to behind the scenes, it’s demotivating the players and putting doubt in their minds. There was no belief they had what it took. You knew no goal was coming yesterday, you could feel what the game was going to be like after minute 5, that is shameful.
Boring
Arsenal is a boring proposition. There’s literally nothing to our football. No style, no identity, no plan for where the game is going. We were utterly bland. We have been for weeks. This project is 18 months in and all the good bits we were seeing have gone. We can’t defend, we can’t attack, we’re a total mess… but the main thing for me, we’re really boring. Villareal in a semi-final should be exciting, it wasn’t, it was a really painful 90 minutes. Arsene Wenger, with that side, would have absolutely crushed them. Sad to say it, but so would Unai Emery.
The project is now over. Arsenal can give him a summer, they can bury their heads in the sand, but the reality is… this manager nicked his jugular last night and he’s bleeding out.
There’s money available for sure. Edu and Arteta are planning a big summer. Josh and Vinai should put a stop to it and remove both of them before they do any more damage to the club.
Edu will not have a good plan. It’ll be a bang average unimaginative offering that’ll waste another year. The two of them have appalling taste in players. Neither knows how to implement ideas. They have not earned the right to have another crack at it. Vinai is embarrassingly weak though, he’ll happily blow through another £100m of average because it’s the easy decision, he’ll let Arteta run the team into the ground again, then hire Roberto Martinez to fix the mess.
… and that does sound negative, I agree. But Arteta brought this on himself. That shit performance last night will stick hard with the players. They’ll know he’s on thin ice now, so if things go against Arsenal next season, the boys will absolutely down him just like they did under Emery.
Arsenal needs to move on Arteta now because he’s not going to save this. Too much is broken. The training ground is not a happy place. Arteta was given Wenger power without the receipts, and he blew it. He was allowed to hire average yes men around him and now he’s paying the price with a lack of know how. His goalkeeper coach is despised, that’s why Leno’s form has tanked and he wants out. Arteta’s contribution? He sacked Sal Bibbo and sanctioned Runarsson. Has he addressed the issue at all? No. He put his hire over one of our best players in the same way he favoured Willian over the kids. Why? His ego. Steve Round was the guy who worked with Moyes when he crashed United, hardly the future of football you want to cushion a rookie coach. What has his input been to tame Arteta’s weaknesses? Are our setpieces better with a specialist coach? Have our subs got better? Do we rotate well to protect players? Do we pick players based on merit? Do our stars look fit or motivated? Is anyone dying out there for the cause like they were last season?
The answer to those questions is no.
Time and investment is a reward for progress. We do not have anything to show on that front. The club now needs to act ruthlessly to protect the limited resources on offer.
Edu is a terrible technical director, just look at his record. He’s not a leader, he has no new ideas, he doesn’t know how to extract value from the market, and he will do bad things this summer with the guilt money he’s been given by our owners. He’s just a footballer who looks nice in a suit, yet a £2b valued organisation is going to trust him to strategise us out of this hole after he gave Willian a 3 year deal on £250k a week? Are you KIDDING ME. No, I’m not. Vinai is so weak, he’d rather promote Arteta to shield a massive error, than grow a pair and address the elephant in the room. There is ZERO leadership at Arsenal. I cannot say it loud enough.
Arteta cannot be trusted as a manager. He signed off Cedric and Willian. He crashed Thomas Partey. He made Auba a 10 goal a season striker in his prime. He benched Martinelli over and over again… and played Willian. He leaves Balogun at home and goes for two sub keepers. He binned William Saliba. Chose Leno over Martinez. All of these decisions made a difference to our shocking season.
When you have trophies and top 4 you can get away with these moves. When you fail like this, it shines a dark light on your limitations.
This failure could have been avoided. The job of a CEO is to build teams capable of competing. Vinai found a talented young coach then let him rot in a Petree dish of power. He should have hired him a complimentary technical director that could support his weaknesses. He should have controlled who the team around him was and put limitations on what he could do. He should have resisted the weird urge to promote him after 6 months.
… but he didn’t.
Therein lies the problem. We have a CEO who takes the easy option, every single time. He didn’t move fast enough to recognise the things Arteta needed to succeed. That should have been the job of the Technical Director, but Vinai already knew he was bad, hence the demotion last season. There is no one man fix in 2021 for the problems we have as a club. If Arsenal move on Arteta, they have to get serious and realise that the problems went way beyond just him.
… but we can talk about that another day.
I’ll be back with better thoughts later, but while you’re here… listen to The Arsenal Opinion podcast with Johnny and Matt.
LOL
Horrible penalty from Aguero.
What a stupid PK from Sergio Agüero.
Which penalty kick is worst? Agueros or the one from Pires/Henry?
With the Pires/henry clown routine, the ball never even moved from the spot. Aguero`s attempted Panenka would have been cool if the keeper had dived either way, but he didnt
A panenka for a 2:0 with the league title in the bag ……cheeky
A panenka in a WC final at null null against Italy….. ballsy
Rich
Agreed 100% on KSE.
Whatever anyone says about wenger, he was a one off in terms of a being a dominant figure at any club.
One of the main reasons Stan bought the club was because of wenger. Here was a manager who could run the whole show on a modest budget, or even no budget. and at the very least keep arsenal in the CL
Stan didn’t have to worry about anything. We were a lucrative investment- nothing more.
There are two many of these Chelsea players that are going to explode next season.
Werner and Ziyech are on that list.
IT is highly critical that we find the right players. If KSE is going to spend more cash, I do not trust Edu and Mike… to find the right players.
This Stat DNA is ?
We need 3-4 young and super talented players in the side…
no coutinhos or washed up vets anymore… pls!
NBC’s Arlo White asking during City Chelsea game what’s the level above world class?
Generational….obviously
Just listened to Lee Judges’ Rant from AFTV. It is more entertaining than the whole Arsenal game.
Chelsea under Tuchel will be challenging next season they are strong
Chelsea’s Billy Gilmore, 19 years old, another player head and shoulder above the Arsenal’s bunch obviously, not fazed by the City triple team to make a great play under pressure.
Can you imagine what Arteta could do with his talent?
Chelsea wins. They are now at least equal to MC.
Pepe will be fuming at Aguero
Pep having a tamtrum when he doesn’t get a pen but Sterling was looking to go down. Don’t like Chelsea obviously but getting to dislike City and cry baby Pep even more. Glad they lost.
Tuchel has Pep’s number
*tantrum
I think we could get Top4 if we had Tuchel as our coach. If you are good, you don’t need excuses.
If Chelsea win the CL again I don’t even have the words to describe how upset I would be.
Imagine if we had a Tuchel like coach
SMH
See, city missing Arteta. They better recall him
What could have been.. (if we appointed Tommy T)
Andy
The first City pen was just as arbitrary as the one not given, which just proves 50% penalty decisions are exclusively up to the refs feelings at the moment.
Compare the Zouma challenge on Sterling and Luiz touch on the Wolves Jose he got sent off for.
we have a used car salesman, snake oil salesman of a manager
fraudeta all the way
phony ass coach
Chelsea got it right. Their management always want them to be competitive… and Roman has owned this team for years now, and is always trying to do what they can to win! Fuck man KSE out
Seriously though guys City’s season could implode if we don’t give them the generational one back. Nows not the time to be selfish
Someone defeated Real and MC in the same week. And we have our generational coach. Wish him a good EBENING!
can we convince Pep to take him back now pls. Get his EPL ring and maybe CL ring… just leave Arsenal!
Chelsea about to win major silverware this season. They will win the EPL next season. What about the mighty Arsenal? Indulging a defective manager who happens to be a mediocre former player. I have nothing else to give this club. 48 hours is a reasonable time frame within which the manager should have been fired, at least, it lets everyone know that results matter.
I think if WBA win, we still dont fire Mike…
We never have a plan B
Silent Edu and Vinai and Josh and Mike….
Just a shit show of leaders
Tuchel could win Chelsea first ever FA cup and CL double in his first 5 months in charge during a pandemic, with no fans in a stadium, and no pre- season.
At least when we missed out on Klopp there was a reason.
Tuchel’s Chelsea is going places , the difference between this team now and under lampard is light years apart .
There’s imbeciles in here who thinks changing managers don’t make any difference.
City made 9 changes to their starting 11, today they were playing with their B team. I don’t think one should read too much in to today’s result.
“City made 9 changes to their starting 11, today they were playing with their B team. I don’t think one should read too much in to today’s result.“
You’re saying this in a space that has Dissenter, Chelsea have won next seasons PL off the back of this for him.
City’s second team is like a top 4 side
I do agree tho, with mahrez and KDB, this team becomes a juggernaut
TR7
Chelsea made 5 changes ok not as many as Man City but still quite some rotation
Two players really impressed me were Gilmour, going to be some player and James so strong and fast
City score the pen they would of won that game. More a case of City beat themselves.
The idea Man City have a best starting Xl set in stone is just plain ridiculous.
Ederson, Diaz, KDB, Gundogan, and Mahrez are probably automatic entries but the rest are all interchangeable parts of the City system, including Foden and Walker.
Chelsea beat them twice within four weeks, and in the FA cup City started most of their considered best and still lost, while Chelsea made five changes themselves.
This is huge for Chelsea in the run up to the CL final confidence wise.
Surprised this little weasel is still the coach
He’s gonna turn this club into relegation fodder
Why can’t this ‘leadership’ learn 🤷🏽♂️
In 18/19 and this season, De Bruyne missed a number of games. City’s form actually improved without him in the side. Ederson,, Walker Dias, Foden and Mahrez are the ones they can’t miss.for the final
Demands of the fans from the board is not only we get some new shiny players in the summer but also a new shiny manager to go along with them.
Non-negotiable
Peckobill There’s “idiots” on here who recognise that two sets of circumstances can be different, and that the future is entirely malleable It’s all well and good screeching “sack the manager …..”, But we’ve don’t that twice, and things have actually gotten worse Fans have chanted “Spend some fuc*ing money” But we’ve invested plenty in recent years, and we’ve actually gotten worse The common narrative from fans was we need a more mobile striker than Giroud, we signed 2 for over £100 million in the space of 6 months, but haven’t qualified for the CL since A few fans we’re… Read more »
Rich All I do know is arteta is the wrong manager . The risk of going for another manager by far outweighs sticking with the one we have . He’s failed in every metric this season and served up some of if not the most boring football I’ve seen in my 40 years supporting this club. What we are witnessing is arteta’s brand of football . Arteta made the choice to go into this season with no attacking midfielder. His choice , another one of his glorious blunders . His choice to go into the second half of the season… Read more »
Rich
Let’s hope they do get the next appointment right because I’m sure when arteta serves up more of this shit ( which he will as the crab slow as fuck football is his stamp ) in a stadium full of fans then he’s history . He doesn’t last past the end of this year and by not changing now that’s the next window and next season a write off already
Peckobill We can’t afford to get the next appointment wrong, it’ll set us back two years, and we’ll end up losing the Crown Jewels if we don’t sort this mess out soon, Saka only has 36 months left on his deal Ideally we’d clean house and hand Arteta, Edu and Venkatesham their P45’s, and just start from scratch I don’t see that happening though, there’s 2 weeks of the season left, if they were going to make a move, they’d have done it by now The best we can hope for is that we ruthlessly sweep out our squad, because… Read more »
Absolutely agree, Mikel has got to go. Given the state of the squad and the absolute mess that is recruitment, I think a new technical director has to be the priority. We need to get our planning in order- both short and long term and I dont want the new manager to have Arsene Wenger levels of power b/c what if he fails? Where right back to where we are now.
Rich
You do t get the the one we got now is wrong and he’s making us worse and worse each month
Rich
Sweep the entire squad out and kronke spends a fortune it’s still an absolute clown in charge playing insipid slow no risk football , players can’t take risks because they won’t get picked again .
It’ll fail , give a blind man Lewis Hamilton’s car and he’s crashing on the first bend .
Agree Peckobill. We know Arteta hasn’t got a clue and is not improving our players individually or as a collective. We need a new manager and a new technical director though IMO.
Sorry if it been already mentioned but imagine if Vinai had sacked Fraudteta and appointed Tichel when available. That is how to run an elite club.
But just an ex city banker stealing a living in the Prem in an industry he knows little about.
Abramhovic knows his Onions.
Venga, Dani
Totally with you on a TD , I’ve been banging on getting rang nick for ages .
But you can provide all the best tools available and no one can make arteta a better manager ( rangnick would actually tear his hair out at arteta’s man management and devaluation and treatment of our youngsters .
I find it ironic when some say keep arteta but get someone like rangnick because getting rid of arteta would be one of the first thing he does
Peckobill
The whole point of a director of football is that they implement a vision over the medium to longer term, and even if the head coach changes, the structure and the plan doesn’t
Who’s better to appoint a new manager, Venkatesham + Kroenke? Or someone like Rangnick, Campos or Overmars?
That’s why we need to put in an experience director of football first, otherwise you risk having a Director of Football trying to implement a medium to long term vision, with a manager who’s got other ideas
Which would be such an Arsenal thing to do
If Arteta walks out as still the manager of this club by the start of next season we are a fucking embarrassment.
This has not been a mirage. It happened. We bombed in the EPL and were abysmal over two legs against Villarreal.
Wake up ffs.
Rich
Arteta needs to go whoever is getting other jobs . Your extremely wrong about that . Arteta is dragging this club to new levels of shit and can’t be anywhere near the next window . We will never go anywhere under this clown .
Sid got it wrong he’s not Diet Pep he’s diet mourinho
. Same dull slow crap football , egotistical short man syndrome, always everyone else’s fault , toxic to certain players . We all know how Jose’s tenures end
How can take someone serious who’s bested by fucking Emery and watching Steve Bruce getting more out of one your players . I joke not when I’m confident both Bruce and alladyce would have done a better job than the ultimate bullshitter
Peckobill
Things can always get worse…
Probably an unpopular opinion, but I wouldn’t be against Arsenal moving for Eddie Howe
Knows the league, good level of experience, won 3 promotions with Bournemouth, kept them in the PL for 5 seasons against the odds, and always tried to play good football
Kroenkephobe How’s it going? I hope all’s well,aside from arsenal of course. I feel your pain and I wish someone had answers to help us all. There are some positives I’m taking though to get through this, I’ll tell you not because I think I’m right but because sharing perspectives is what it’s all about, sometimes people can say something that resonates with us in a helpful way. First off,things have been worse. Under Wenger we began a decline that would lead us to a decade of suffering. Now I know that people will rightly point out that under Wenger… Read more »
No-one is frightened by names like Eddie Howe after the season that Arteta has given us.
Let;s be clear Arteta is a nobody in the big boys management game.
Rich I’d take Eddie the eagle over arteta In all seriousness and I’ll play devil’s advocate I’m on board with you then it’s all been owners , ceo and TD and players faults why we in this mess . So we get a better ceo , get in campos, kronke splashes some cash on the squad and everything is set up perfectly so now enlightening me and open my to why we keep arteta ? Tell me the bullet points , his metrics , his obvious strong points why we keep him . I gave you his litany of ineptitude’s… Read more »
Arteta should be learning his trade at Derby and not at a glamorous club like Arsenal
Find now a German manager is a must. Who is available? Southampton’s?
Agreed Peckobill. I think sacking Arteta without addressing TD is pointless, just as I think sacking Edu without addressing Arteta is pointless. They both have to go. We need a competent manager and a top top experienced TD. Rangnick would be an absolute dream.
It is beging to sound like a bad idea for a reality TV show. Lets put someone in charge of a footbal club who isn’t a football manager and see how long it takes for everyone to realise that he hasn’t got a clue. Give him all the bullshit lines to say and buzz words like ‘project’, ‘generational’ etc and watch it play out! TV gold!
Venga Both without a doubt need changing the reason I’d change arteta both first and immediately is because I don’t think arteta is getting nowhere near the best out of this squad with the tools he has at his disposal. No one thinks this squad is winning the title but we better than this crap we are seeing . A half decent manager improves things . A new TD is going to get a better long term transfer in and out strategy more fitting to this club and the right players for the squad However he’s not changing Artetas football… Read more »
It’s not that I’m against sacking Arteta I’m against KSE sacking him, and then KSE, Edu + Venkatesham appointing our next manager I just think we should do it the other way around, sack all three of them Appoint a new CEO + Director of football, add some football expertise to the board, and let people with some actual football experience and knowledge, select then appoint our new head coach Then start looking at why we’ve been so bad at squad planning, contract management, scouting and recruitment Hopefully the new structure will get to the bottom of it, and start… Read more »

That’s what amazes me.?They can’t answer the question as there is no reason at all, no benefits in keeping Arteta
http://sportwitness.co.uk/difficult-arteta-continue-arsenal-manager-lost-trust-many-players-aubameyang-issue/
Rich
I’m the same as you , I can’t come up with a single reason to keep him
TYAGN
Some people don’t realise it until they ask themselves to think of some
We will likely keep him though, at least until fans are back in the stadium
So it’s a case of hope for the best, but prepare for the worst
Why do we think our situation is unique. We’re saying we need a squad overhaul. We need to get rid of 789 players ect. Well so do Newcastle, Everton, spurs. Wolves need a rebuild, Leicester even. Why is it Arsenal fans think they are the only ones in this type of predicament. Lads, if you think the team needs more than 6 players replaced. Then that my friends. Is the definition of midtable problems. Midtable woes. They all need 678 new players. They don’t have the budget and their best players get poached causing them to restart the rebuild for… Read more »
Yeah I agree. Think Arteta needs to go ASAP but his replacement has to be a head coach- not a manager. His replacement’s brief has to be to get the best out of the tools at his disposal. I agree too regarding the fact that no one thinks this squad is a title challenger, but 10th place is shocking. THere’s no reason that we’re behind Leeds, Everton, West Ham, Leicester, Spuds, etc.

___
The club is already an embarrassment as the fraud is yet to be sacked.
IE, Arteta is a failure. Period. League form is always the marker of a club/manager’s ability. This squad is better than 10th, and I think there are plenty of coaches out there that can do plenty better especially under a top Technical Director.
Another thing re: Arteta: he seemingly keeps antagonizing some of our brightest and best performers. His handling of Emi Martinez was atrocious. His handling of William Saliba was atrocious. His handling of Ainsley was atrocious. Not that AMN is our savior, but the guy kept Saka out of the FA cup final last year and is a versatile squad player who can play CM and LB – both positions we are desperately short in. Not to go full reactionary but Willock looks amazing at Newcastle. Hes probably scored more goals in a handful of appearances than all of our midfielders… Read more »
It is unbelieveable that Arteta is still in charge,hopefully he will be sacked at the end of the season,along with the other 2 stooges and his backroom team. The brief for the next DOF needs to be to trim the squad to about 19 players,and the new coach is told-these are your players,make it work. No more contracts over 12 months for 30 year olds and over. A definite playing style-choose Leeds as an example. I dont think the players we have are as bad as the performances say,just ridiculous subs,atrocious safety first,boring football and an incompetant in charge with… Read more »

We were warning the hipsters you can’t hire a man with a ZERO experience as a manger of Arsenal FC. We don’t know what’s his philosophy and more importantly his man management skills. We were told by those hipsters, he was generational and we should just shut up and watch the knew Arsenal. Who remember them celebrating Arteta asking for the drone?.

Here’s hoping our fans are going to protest this evening at The Emirates and make their ‘Arteta Out’ feeling known vociferously. The ‘Kroenke Out’ right now is less important being a long term project where nothing immediately is going to happen.

Kroenke has said arteta has till Christmas, if he is mid table by then, he will be sacked. Blimey, imagine we are 8th during Christmas next season, Artetas job is safe.
Really is the safest job in all of football, managing arsenal FC
If we don’t collectively start acting like a top 4 club, we will never be one.
Arteta has too many flaws both footballing and personal to be better than we are currently.
This is what Arteta’s sum of the parts looks like and it’s very ugly to watch and heart wrenching to feel.
The problem is Stan and the BoD simply don’t care about their fans. We’re irrelevant and an annoyance, as we have been for the last 14 years or so. History doesn’t seem to be important to those who control the money.
Gons
Is that a club statement or just click bait rumor mongering?
Arteta is going to be ruthless this summer, see how the back up players feel his anger.
The elneneys, xhakas, willians nd lenos of the sqaud are safe, don’t worry. It’s just the squad players that have to go according to arteta.

Nothing surprises me about Stan and his minions.
The DM might be a poor excuse for a newspaper but the above links spell out fall from grace.
Tim Lewes should be forwarding those links to Josh.
Ultimately the question of whether or not the players are good enough is entirely irrelevant to whether to keep arteta Artetas job is to get the max out of the players he has. But he has made us worse. If he got the max out of them and they still weren’t good enough to win major honors, no problem we should just back him in the transfer market. But 1) he can’t get the best out of his existing players. Many of the same the same or worse than before 2) he has been an architect of some of of… Read more »
I’ve never quite seen as terrible a walk in set up than Canela right now. Fucking horrible. Come on Billy J!!
Think about it for a second if Ceballos and Ødegaard both went back to Madrid , the only senior midfield players we have is Elneny Partey and Xhaka. Thats criminal for a club like ours . That is not even a top10 midfield.
Rubbish owner,, advised by clowns, makes shit and slow decisions that cost Arsenal. Russian or not, there’s no better counter example than what happened over at Chelsea in terms of winning mindset , determination, and decisions, And it’s not exactly about money too… ‘cos the trio have squandered circa £300m net in transfers alone last couple of years!

The Wenger out brigade has egg on their faces. But would they accept it?
We told you so? Remember?
GonsterousMay 9, 2021 03:35:33 Arteta is going to be ruthless this summer, see how the back up players feel his anger. “Ruthless” to Arteta’s little mind simply means suppressing voices, binning flair players, nullifying /blaming others, and makes stupid decisions.. while rewarding yes men around him and iwithin the squad.
