Good day to everyone including the Arsenal fans on this forum who are absolute circus clowns.
I scrolled past a few pages and it seems like over the past 6 months, nothing has changed. With the exception of
@Obaidd they are all talking out of their backsides.
The Arteta criticism makes me laugh and it actually reflects how out of touch with reality these fans are. They are completely delusional.
The reality is that this Arsenal squad is nowhere near good enough to win the PL and the UCL and the only reason they are very close to winning both is because of Arteta.
Without Arteta, this Arsenal squad will be scrambling for top four and making to the QF of the UCL at best. It is laughable to suggest that Arteta should be sacked.
There isn’t a coach in the world who will do better with these non-world class players than Arteta has.
The goal needs to be to continue building and keep improving the squad with Arteta and Berta at the helm.
The biggest weakness in the current squad is the lack of creativity in midfield. Declan Rice is the darling of the fans but the fact is that he has very little technical ability. He runs up and down the pitch but he has no final ball. He was not worth 100m and it was a short-sighted move.
Zubimendi is technically very good but he is a deep lying playmaker, not someone who can play the advanced midfield role. The only player who fits the profile is Odegaard but he needs to get his fitness in order and also needs a mental reset.
He is short of confidence and needs a solid pre-season in the summer. If he doesn’t get back to his level next season, then he should be sold.
However, for next summer, it is paramount that dead rubber like Martinelli, Trossard, White and Jesus are sold and a #10 is signed.
Gyokeres is on course for a 20+ goals season and it is very impressive considering that he has been completely starved of service all season and no one has played to his strengths.
He will easily score as many as he did for Sporting if he gets chances. All he gets is one half chance per game and whenever he gets a decent chance, he usually takes it.
The criticism of the style of football cannot be taken without context of the given squad. Arteta cannot play free flowing, attacking football with players like Rice, Martinelli and Saka hogging the ball.
This conservative brand of football is the reason why Arsenal are where they are at the moment. If Arteta tries to play attacking football with this squad, he will struggle to finish top 3.
The revival of this football club after many, many dark years is all down to one man. If it wasn’t for him, Arsenal would be like Chelsea and United currently. Arsenal fans have no idea what will be in store for them if they get their wish and Arteta is sacked. The club will only go back.
Arsenal and Arteta will part ways one day but the time has not come yet because the squad is not ready to grow without him. The club needs to make further good signings in midfield to take this squad to a higher level.
If Arsenal win the league or the UCL this season, it will be solely due to Arteta because City, Bayern and PSG have all got superior squads than Arsenal.
