What idea?
United lost to Villa and Leicester.
Yeah but both Leicester and Villa have had poor seasons and look below par currently.
What point do you think you're proving here? Ole has been in charge 1 year longer.
This is pretty funny/ironic (if not downright wrong) given that at the start of the season, a sizeable chunk of the Arsenal fanbase wanted Arteta gone.
Whichever way you look at it, Arteta is easily and by far a better manager than Ole despite Ole being in the job a full 12 months longer and having spent a lot more. The only thing saving Ole is that he is a United legend, but as a manager he is totally clueless. Results don't lie.
That's more of an emotional outburst rather than a rational argument. The facts don't support you at all.
Well I am glad you didn't go into hiding. Arteta has and currently doing a good job, despite the talent at his disposals. He already won a fa cup and has been quietly beneath the surface developing an identity with this Arsenal side that not many can understand or see. This is where i step in, to open people eyes towards what he is building, which is similiar to what he learned from guardiola and Pochettino, which is a high-energy possession football defined by perfect positional play. Arteta is still a young manager, but he learned from the best which was why I understood him more than some poster on here.
You seem to have clear convictions in your beliefs which is laudable but care to predict what future holds for Arsenal under Arteta what would be their final position this season .
I believe Arteta can bring them stability in terms of europa league football. Unless, they get significant backing, I can't see them breaking into the top four, unless one of the big four has a bad season. With the squad they have they should be targeting europa league this season, but it will be difficult with Conte at Spurs, Moyes doing well at West Ham, Rodgers at leceister and the amazing squad we have at United. Arteta can see this season a success if they finish in a europa league spot.
The way I look at it, the so called better manager finished 8th two times in the row, while the other one third and second.
Stealing slogans for Arsenal now?
This. You can only beat what is infront of you. Fergie never won the league by beating big teams, we won by smashing these weaker teams. Bet you if someone tries to calculate Top 6 table in Fergie era he wont be nowhere at the top. United now is getting smashed by weaker and stronger teams. They come to us knowing they can get points off us. This never happened in Fergie era. Teams already felt they lost the game subsconciously before facing us (or what you may call as fear factor)
Sorry had to disagree. I remember that every game to the Bridge and Anfield, Emptihad esp in his later years is an automatic loss for us or a smash and grab draw/win.
This is so wrong. In SAF's final season we won away at Chelsea, Liverpool and City. Can't be bothered to look further because your point is immediately rendered null and void at the first hurdle.
His point was a bit over the top but he is right about the small teams. Remember under Moyes and LVG most teams where winning at OT for the first time in years. SAF bullied the bottom 10
Your board and Mikel have played a blinder here.
Ramsdale made a couple of crazy saves in the first half as well, Leicester definitely came very close to scoring and would have scored if not for the keeper pulling off those saves.
Yeah but the point is about their defense getting opened up with ease. There's always a lot of gap between their defense and midfield lines which they exploited. Arsenal did well in attack but were poor at the back.
Yeah, they have a few tricky fixtures lined up. Let's see how they cope up at Anfield next/
You know life's come a full circle when you start embracing the exact same thing that you mocked clubs like Chelsea for over a decade, while being the beacon of 'The Beautiful Game'. Yes I know that's what you need right now but it is honestly, satisfying to the point that I cannot describe in words!
