Arsenal manager - Is Mikel Arteta the right choice?

[Mamoon]

Completely outclassed “tactical genius” Bielsa.

However, needs to give up on Willian. He was the reason Arsenal went from 4-0 to 4-2 and not 5-0 or 6-0.

Arteta has beaten managers like Pep, Klopp, Ole, Bielsa in his first year as manager but apparently he is tactically clueless....

Nearly cost us the game today by bringing on Willian

He came on at 4-1 but don't understand why Martin's out of favour. Also, Bamford should've had a penalty, 4-3 with 15 minutes on the clock...

 

[Firebat]

Fantastic win, that's Arteta's coaching at it's best. The interplay between Saka, Auba, Smith Rowe, Odegaard and Ceballos was stunning, right from minute 1. Just wish we could see that more often.

And please. Give. Up. On. Willian. It's painful. Martinelli is the future. GET HIM ON

It's the only one draw back I have at the moment... his support for Willian. Maybe he doesn't want another Ozil situation?

It's probably that, though this isn't as extreme as the Ozil situation. He's not nearly the player Ozil is (or was), he's not on the same money, he is literally hated by every single fan and he doesn't need to be removed from any league squad. He is fine as a rotation option for squad depth.

The problem is that at a crunch part of the season he is taking minutes away from young players who's development is crucial for this club, unlike Willian's. He visibly makes the team play worse when he is on the field.

Cannot think of 1 redeeming quality about this deal or player that compels Arteta to sub him on, regardless of the opposition, match state or anything else. Being dominated by United at 0-0? Brings on Willian. Comfortably 4-0 up vs Leeds? Brings on Willian. Baffling

Pep Guardiola: Arsenal future Premier League contenders, I didn't inspire former assistant Mikel Arteta

Pep Guardiola says he did not inspire Mikel Arteta and lauded his former Manchester City No 2 for the job he is doing as Arsenal manager, feeling that the Gunners will be future Premier League title contenders.

Arsenal have not won the league since 2004 while City have won three of the last seven, and look likely to land the 2021 title after opening up a 10-point gap at the top of the Premier League after their 3-1 win at Everton on Wednesday.

That was their 17th straight win in all competitions while the Gunners, who won last season's FA Cup under Arteta, have picked up only one victory in their last five following their 1-1 Europa League draw with Benfica.

Speaking ahead of City's trip to the Emirates on Sunday - live on Sky Sports Premier League - Guardiola heaped praise on his former assistant and felt that Arsenal could once again start challenging for titles in the "early future" under Arteta.

"I did not inspire him [Mikel Arteta]. What he knows he knows for himself," Guardiola said on Friday. "I am not any influence. What he is doing, all credit to him and his backroom staff.

"All I can say is the last months show me that all managers need time and he is not an exception. What I see in the last two months every game Arsenal played is better than the opponent.

"Tomorrow we will have an incredible performance. They have an exceptional build-up, they have quality and they have energy. They have [Bukayo] Saka, [Pierre-Emerick] Aubameyang and all the players with the quality in the middle.

"In the early future they will be real contenders to fight for the titles. Most of the time [when Artrta and I worked together] we took decisions together and I took decisions with the influence of Mikel.

"I don't know if I influenced him - he has to answer this."

Sure, that is the reason why they have better squads. If Arsenal can get a manager like Pep, Klopp or Ole, they will win the league or finish in the top 3/4 with the current set of players.

Liverpool is 8th and only 2 points ahead of Arsenal with a much better squad.

But Liverpool have not been out of the champions league and out of title contention for nearly 16 years now.

You cannot compare Liverpool’s situation to Arsenal. Even now, Liverpool will pummel Arsenal at Anfield whereas clubs like West Ham and Leicester will go there and compete.

My point is that Arteta is not holding this Arsenal team back from getting into the top 6. The reality is that the squad is very average and some inexperienced youngsters are forced to carry the team on their shoulders. The club captain himself is a bad influence in terms of his attitude and discipline.

A lot of heavy investment is required but Arteta is the right man to take Arsenal forward. The likes of Allegri etc. will not do miracles with this team and will also demand a lot of £££ to sort things out.

If Arsenal had any of those managers at the time Arteta was appointed, they will surly be in the top 4 atleast.

You can see how sacking Lampard exposed how poor a manger he was, with tuchel exposing him every week with the same squad, doing 100 times better, IF tuchel was the manager at the start Chelsea would be competiting for the title.

The same is the case with Arteta, you need to get over your stubbornness and admit you were wrong, any decent manager will get this team well up the table, take a lesson out of chelseas book.

Chelsea is benefiting from new manager bounce. Tuchel is a quality manager but so were Lampard, Sarri, Conte, Ancelotti etc. The issue is that Abramovich has no patience.

He will sack Tuchel in 2 years just like the dozen plus managers that he has sacked in the past.

Arteta is a great manager in the making and you are wrong about him just like you are wrong about 99% of things. Arsenal is a patient club and he will be given time to excel.

He will take Arsenal to the top 6 very soon but in order to challenge for the title, he will need a lot of heavy investment by the board.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Big win for Arteta but Spurs threw it away. Jose seems to be under pressure to start Bale, which he later condemmed in the post match interview as hiding.

It will be interesting to see if Arsenal give him some money and how he spends it. Arteta is still in the honeymoon period. Next season a top four finish or hes' out.

Where was this new manager bounce when Arteta was appointed ) Your excuses are beyond belief.

Tuchel is hardly a quality manager, a decent manager at best who has been able to spend alot of money at PSG and now has Lampards £250M toys to play with, he just exposes how poor Lampard was a a manager.

You calling Arteta a great manager doesnt change anything, just like you call Modi is a great leader doesnt make him great. Your wrong everytime you open your mouth.

He will never make top 4, nor top 6, no matter how many hundreds of millions of dollars he spends, because he has already shown us, he doesnt have to skills to manage players, let alone big ones, giving Arteta investment is suicidel.

 

[KingKhanWC]

His tactics were pretty clueless again today.

Arteta has a long way to go before he can considered as a rival to the likes of Pep and Klopp

Time is running out on Arteta and some of these players...

As I told you before, you are completely mistaken if you think time is running out for him and he is going to get sacked any time soon.

He is held in very high esteem by the club and it is easy to see why. He is a top manager in the making.

Arsenal have shown a lot of positives against the top 6 this season. Of course, such results are part and parcel of the game because although Liverpool are in terrible form, they have a lot more quality at this point than Arsenal.

Arsenal needs financial backing from the board and some smart transfer decisions. The club is aware of the fact that the squad is short of quality and no manager can produce miracle results with this bunch of players. As a result, removing Arteta is not an option for now.

Opposition fans have announcing his sacking for 6 months now but the problem is that they don’t understand the culture of Arsenal and how they operate.

Arteta will be at Arsenal for years to come and he will take the club back to the top four.

He wont be at Arsenal if he doesnt finish in a European place by the end of next season but could be gone by Xmas if he doesnt improve the team, so far he has failed.

Emery has a better record after 50 matches, winning 4 more matches.

I dont think you understand football tactics or how managers uses systems against the opposition. Arteta once again showed he's clueless with his set up, this was proven when players were simply ignoring his orders. Arteta himself admitted the players were putting in little effort for him, which made him to attack them in the news conference.

Arteta is losing the dressing room, he's already lost most Arsenal fans, only thing left to lose now is his job.

 

[shaykh]

Arsenal fans are predictable especially the Arteta defenders...

It’s the players fault...it’s individual errors etc...as if Emery and Wenger didn’t have Mustafi lol...

You can’t disassociate the players from Arteta...so slate Holding and then defend Arteta when it was Arteta who wanted Holding to be rewarded with a new contract ...

Contract talks for Elneny on the way too ...

If there really was a sincere attempt at a clearout of these dud players then you could perhaps sympathise with Arteta ...

Yet it’s got so bad where Xhaka and Luiz are now vital cogs ...

And the overrespect to senior players is mad...Martinelli might as well leave ...if he can’t get into this team then what hope does he have ...

Congrats on the win last night.

Wenger also had a better record in his last 50 matches but him and Emery had much stronger teams.

All the pundits and analysts feel Arsenal are moving in the right direction under Arteta. The main problem he had this season was the lack of playmaker options but was able to get the most out of Smith-Rowe who first made a name for himself when he delivered in that 3-1 win against Chelsea.

He has identified the nucleus of the team in Saka, Tierney and Smith-Rowe who have gelled very well under his guidance.

Arsenal is still dealing with the mess that Wenger that has left behind. It will take a while but I believe Arteta is the best man for the job.

I had my doubts in him due to lack of his experience but in the short time he's been manager (just over a year), he has beaten OGS, Klopp, Guardiola, Lampard and Mourinho. Remember this is with the weakest Arsenal team in the last 25 years but he has still punched above his weight against the big 6 at times which is a testament of his tactical nous.

When he gets the financial backing he needs to build the squad, Arteta will be able to take Arsenal up another level and bring Champions League football back at the Emirates.

If Arsenal fans want to give him another 2 years without getting top 4 it says Arsenal arent the same force they were when I was growing up watching.

Its was never going to be easy for Arteta and losing 3 zlich to Liverpool isnt a big issue, because we are still one of the best teams in the world, 2nd behind city imo.

I dont watch all Arsenal matches but watched it all last night. It was Arteta allowing LFC to play as if they were at the training ground, the players did not know what the plan was , didnt know what to do. They even stopped listening to him 15 mins before the end.

Arsenal were very lucky, this could have 5-0 or more, 3 isnt so bad.

You have plenty of decent players but he keeps chopping and changing the team, their positions, style of play. Lets see how the season ends for him, a bad run from here could see him out.

Arteta has beaten Klopp twice and he set up his team effectively which produced the wins. If you understood football you would realize that it is part and parcel of football.

Klopp also learned from his previous losses to Arteta and set up his team in a way that stifled Arsenal, and he won because his team has a lot more quality.

Let me put it this way, Arteta will not be sacked until the board feels that the squad is good enough but his tactics are holding them back.

Opposition fans can predict his sacking all they want. First it was December, then it was end of this season, now it is next year Christmas or end of next season. Come end of next season, they will revise their predictions. It doesn’t mean anything.

Not decent relative to the big 6. We not only have the weakest team in the big 6 but also the weakest Arsenal side in 25 years. You'd have to go back to George Graham's last season at Arsenal to find a weaker team than the one we have at present.


I hate to make excuses but we were also without Saka, who is our best player and Smith-Rowe. So yesterday you saw a weak Arsenal team who were further compounded by the absence of two of their main players. Arteta wasn't chopping and changing the team.

 

[Hasan123]

Arteta is not getting sacked anytime soon. We lost nearly every game in November and December and he is still here.

I fully back him as the man going forward. But I do question his management of certain players and his team selection at times. He is a young manager so will make mistakes.

Really don’t like how certain fans have turned against him, no matter what he does he won’t be good enough for them. But Arsenal are not sacking him anytime soon. I know he has a lot of support from the owners. You don’t appoint a young coach only to sack him a year later lol.

I can see why Man City roped him in as assistant coach at a very early stage of his managerial career. I have been impressed with how he's managed Arsenal with such a weak squad.

Ngl, I wanted Mourinho to be Wenger's (and Emery's) replacement but I was wrong there. Jose is washed up and I think his time at Spurs is up.

 

[Mamoon]

I am not sure why opposition fans are so eager to see Arteta sacked.

I mean if you think that this Arsenal squad is full of Ballon d’Or winners and are only a great manager away from walking the league, why hope for Arteta to be sacked?

You should be happy that the club is blind enough to not see that Arteta’s awful coaching is holding these legendary players back from winning the league....

I disagree. Its not just about the top 6 because youre 10th. You have a better squad than Villa, West Ham and even Leicester, arguably better than Spurs too. Great managers work with what they have. Under Arteta the players havent improved apart from Saka. With the fixtures remaining Arsenal should still get top 6 if they win 75% of their remaining games against none of the top teams in the PL.

Arteta has everything to prove as a manager yet. Just depends how long Arsenal fans are happy with mid table and a little run in the cup competitions. The PL is stronger than ever, if you dont start improving it may be years before you get back into the top 4 and a decade before any title challenge.

He just needs time and transfer windows. There is only so much he can do with these players. He has also mentioned himself a lot we need investment and early on his regin he kept saying we aren’t good enough. So he knows a lot of these players aren’t good enough. Yet people are expecting miracles from him.

Arteta is getting results which a team with Arsenal’s strength and depth should be getting. He is not overachieving but isn’t underachieving either.

Replacing him would be ignoring the real problem of mediocre personnel.

As I have said before, rivals fans don’t understand Arsenal and what the vision of the club is. They have been predicting his sacking since December.

What they fail to understand is that Arteta is not Emery’s replacement; he is Wenger’s heir.

The modernized model that Arsenal adopted under Emery where he was a coach and not the manager was scrapped. The club has reverted to the same philosophy that it had under Wenger.

Arteta is an Arsenal man and he has been mentored by Wenger and Guardiola. You cannot find a better man than him to lead Arsenal’s new era and fill Wenger’s shoes. It is a match made in heaven.

The club made a huge mistake by preferring Emery to Arteta in 2018 and they will not repeat the same mistake today by sacking him.

There is absolutely no chance of him getting sacked. Anyone who thinks he will be gone by the summer or by Christmas is deluding himself.

I think Arteta is upto the job. Just a bit worried by Edu. He doesn't have much experience in the European transfer market. So I hope he has a plan to support Arteta.

Personally don't see Arteta being here for 10 plus years. Maybe 7 or 8, he seems like an ambitious guy. I'm sure he will want to manage other big teams in Europe.

But he definitely is not getting sacked anytime soon. We lost nearly every game in November and December and he is still here. He was allowed to get rid of some players in January and I'm sure he will get rid of a couple more in the summer.

Wenger played an attractive, attacking game. What's Arteta's?, Have the defenders pass it badly to each other and perennially put themselves under pressure?.

This isn't a case of personnel, this team is capable of more as they've shown in figs and spurts and it's Arteta freezing out Balogun and Martinelli, two generational talents who look like following Malen and Gnabry out the door.

The last time Wenger played attractive football was when he had the likes of Cesc, Nasri, van Persie, Rosicky, Hleb etc., and later on to a small extent when he had Cazorla and a fit Wilshere.

Overall, there was nothing attractive about Wenger’s football in the last few years of his tenure simply because he no longer had technically gifted players capable of playing possession football.

The current set of players are not capable of playing that style of football. Even the talented youngsters like Saka, Smith-Rowe, Martinelli thrive in a more direct style of play and so does that Bambi on ice and Gervinho 2.0 Pepe.

Odegaard is probably the only player in the squad who can play like that.

Both Martinelli and Balogun will get their chance in due time and it will be a tragedy if even one of them leaves because they have top-drawer potential like Donyell Malen and Gnabry.

That is why I want both Aubameyang and Lacazette gone in the summer. They are a spent force now - Lacazette has always been mediocre and Aubameyang looks to be in decline as well.

It is the right time to cash in especially because he will command a decent fee because of the new contract. Also, their goofy bromance and the way they are always laughing and joking is very annoying.

Arteta can do something special with a core of Saka, Smith-Rowe, Martinelli, Balogun and hopefully Odegaard. That is why the club needs to do all it can to ensure that these guys do not leave.

The team is not worse than Everton who should be top 4 (4-7 is remarkably tight) or West Ham. Smith-Rowe I thought had a new kid on the block bounce but is actually an excellent player. Martinelli is seriously good and Saka needs to improve his game in many aspects but a super talent.

The fact Arteta signed a 33 year old Willian is on him. He's got his first job as a manager at one of the biggest clubs in Europe. It sounded great in theory but is actually bonkers and he needs to start again somewhere lower down, in Spain, but Arsenal cannot be an apprenticeship. He'd have taken Everton down if he took charge there.

They need an established manager and someone to bring it back to basics. Allardyce was a genuine possibility in December and the players who bailed Mikel Jong-il out, he's now frozen out.

Some arsenal fans are hilarious, now there willing to accept mediocrity to accept a manager. )

Its funny how they lie about arsenal having a worse squad then before when its the same squad arteta took from emery. Only that he lost the dressing room and had no clue how to manage them.

Ta save face they will try and make you believe somehow that they even have a worse sqaud then west ham, everton, lecister, aston villa and leeds ) and are willing to accept sitting in the bottom half

Fans like Mamoon are dream tailor made fans for football boards and owners who wont put any pressure on them and accept mediocrity football from a side who spent there history competing for the top spot.

Truth is that arteta is the worse manager to have ever put a foot in the EPL

i have seen fans of football clubs hoping and wishing there teams lose to get managers they dont like sacked, even we had them when mourinho was here, but this is the opposite, fans trashing there club to support a manager and an incredibly poor one too.

Hakimi to Arsenal rumors are hotting up. It will be very difficult but it would be incredible if Edu & Arteta can pull it off.

He is the best young RWB in the world. Phenomenal talent who will have a huge impact on the team.

I heard that it was Hakimis agent who started talks with Arsenal. So I'm sure he is interested in joining. Plus Inter Milan have financial issues. A deal is not impossible.

lol lets win Europa first but I'm certainly in the Arteta in camp.

Great result and perhaps it is Arsenal's best game of the season. For me it is between this match and the one against Chelsea.

It was a great performance. I would say the Chelsea one was better because the opponent was better and we were absolutely on the floor at that point.

9th in the table and 28 points behind Man City.

That's simply not good enough for a club like Arsenal.

If they don't win the Europa, I sense trouble for Arteta at the end of the season.

haha.

If Arteta cannot get the best out of that squad then he shouldn't be the manager.

Also he has brought some of those players in like Willian who have been absolute rubbish.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Well they've got finishing 8th in the Super League Group 2 to look forward to. It's all paying off for crooks like Kroenke.

And worth noting for Arsenal that maybe Gazidis was better the devil you know.

 

[PetroDollars]

Well finishing 8th in the Super league is better than finishing 12th in the premier league.

 

[Uzi]

Arteta will lead Arsenal to European Super League glory.

Our squad that isn’t ‘good enough’ should be able to get 8th position for sure

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Well finishing 8th in the Super league is better than finishing 12th in the premier league.

Eighth out of eight?.

 

[Saj]

Out of the Europa Cup.

No trophy this season

No qualification for the Champions League

9th in the Premier League, 31 points behind Man City

Time for Arteta to go?

 

[KingKhanWC]

4 more matches left for Arsenal & Arteta imo.

The owners are under pressure, imo they will sack Arteta and bring in a new manager hoping this will cheer up Arsenal fans.

10 home games without scoring a goal in a season. Worst ever

Imagine being a Pakistan and Arsenal fan

Imagine having your teams being lead by Misbah and Arteta

 

[Rana]

The Misbah fans who defend him for mediocre performances argue “Pakistan lacks talent”, the coach can’t do much

These same fans will tell you that this squad at Arsenal is not good enough, the coach can’t do much!

How are Leicester and West Ham head and shoulders better than us???

He had the best striker in the league who now cant score to save his life, he was given a great player in partey who now looks like another xhaka, he was given talented youngsters who arsenal fans feared would be nicked by RM/Barca and he got rid of them, Did you really expect him to deliver?

Lampard was given £300M and made a complete fool out of himself, Arteta is much worse, giving him money and a club like arsenal to run is like a billionaire giving his investment portfolio to his 13 year old son to run.

Arsenal got conned by Pep, who only wanted to get rid of him.

 

[MenInG]

Think best we part ways with Arteta soon - lots of time to fix problems this season and Arteta is part of the problem.

 

[IMMY69]

Any other club would have sacked him last season

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Until Kroenke is there no manager changes this

 

[IMMY69]

That is true.
Although we still need a manager who actually knows what he's doing.
With Arteta there is no direction and its the same thing again and again.

When will the torture end?

He is the Misbah of world football!!!
