Mikel Arteta | Lego Pep watch

Carrick killed him. How do people come with a tripe that he is a good manager. Today was shocking from them. Absolute crap manager who sets his team play like a coward.

As a non arsenal fan I hope he stays with them forever and deluded fans continue to back him.
 
On the BBC site someone texted in at 1-1 to say Arteta out and the guy doing the reporting said Behave.

As if it's daft for Arsenal fans to want him out.

Why? Why would that be daft?

He's finished 8th twice and is currently 7th behind us and Spurs. Two clubs that deemed their seasons as shit and sacked their managers!
 
Another spineless performance. Plus the football is absolutely tragic.

It's baffling how he keeps getting talked up every time they have a mini run.
 
Do a section of arsenal fans want him sacked ? Or are all of them deluded ?

Saka and Nketiah seem like they could be top talents in a few years's time. I look at them like I looked at Martial and Rashford five years ago.

I like Saka but he’s more in the Greenwood tier of needing a lot more game experience before being thrust in front for club and country. I don’t get how he seems to keep Sancho out of the starting line up in England.
 
Need Arsenal to have another run of playing fodder and get some 1-0 wins in those games to convince everyone they've turned a corner again ;)
 
Tim Cahill said Arteta knows why he lose games so I guess he knows why he lose games.
 
Not that I agree with the knee-jerkism in this thread, but looking beyond the results, it's alarming to see how there's so much of the Stoke in how Arsenal play.

How can anyone back arteta at this point ? Its like the cult of ole here, but atleast ole was a legend at the club as a player. I could understand if vieira was the manager and serving up turd but arteta ?!?!

The likes of potter would be an upgrade on arteta and he'll jump at the opportunity.

Its not even a comparison. If Ole had us finishing 8th two years in a row and playing like how Arsenal are playing, I and most if not all of whom you call "Ole cult" would have wanted him out after the first year. And I was supporting Ole till the Liverpool game.
 
I do think the majority of Arsenal fans want him gone. I just think like for Ole the media for some weird reason isn't criticising him enough and not putting enough pressure on him. It took a 5-0 loss to Liverpool for the media to pile on the pressure, I think it will take a similar result for Arsenal to do the same.

EDIT: I just realised they only lost 4-0 to Liverpool a few weeks ago, I forgot that over the last 4 seasons that's been the norm for Arsenal. I guess they're stuck with Arteta.

He's so annoying in interviews how he never lets the interview finish the question before answering

He is worse than Ole.. We have had some lows with Ole but had some highs too... his interim manager days , and the project restart days ..
Do they have anything to match that ? The FA cup maybe..
 
I'm not on any arsenal forums, but all the fans I know from real life want him gone. I'm not sure this "they're deluded" thing applies. He's done and we all know it.
 
I take back the positive things I said about him, mediocre manager. Still marginally less inept than Ole though IMO.

Yeah a manager finishing 6th, 3rd and 2nd is more inept than a manager finishing 8th and 8th and currently in 7th after spending the highest this season. Ole was poor this season but had he walked off at the end of last season, his record doesn't look too shabby. Arteta is far worse and gets a free pass because he put cones for Pep.
 
His handling of Nketiah is bizarre. A player he clearly doesn't rate and is likely to leave on a free in the summer made the squad ahead of Balogun, a youngster Arsenal made a big effort to sign a new contract in the summer. Nketiah came on before Auba and Pepe didn't even come on.

You are all talking nonsense, Arteta is awesome manager with great potential. Arsenal would be fools to sack him.

Just incase if Arsenal boards reads rival fans opinion

Arsenal are a different club with different expectations. For me, arteta is a slightly better coach than ole. Also laying cones for pep sort of is an achievement I would take over relegating Cardiff. Not to mention he has actually won a trophy (which if he hadn't would have him sacked)

I have a gut feeling Arteta won't be the coach for Arsenal and eventually may get the sack but I'm not ruling out he actually does turn it around.

Lastly, whenever people compare the likes of arteta or pirlo with ole they forget he is 39, younger than a current playing professional zlatan Ibrahimovic. Ole is a seasoned manager -- older than tuchel so "potential" is another factor.
