There's your bounce.
Mikel Arteta | Lego Pep watch
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
This is such cringe.
Were very good in spells vs Chelsea and vs United. Lacking a bit of fitness to play the way its looking like he wants them too over the busy period. If he can get that front 4 firing like they were first half tonight they'll be proper entertaining and capable of anything.
Let's not get too carried away...I mean, look at the opponents.
Your welcome. History will look back at this post and say, this guy Amadaeus understand football well and beyond his time.
Outsmarted Ole, which wasnt difficult. Arteta actually has a style of play.
I love him. After emery it’s great to have someone who has clear ideas and convictions. Come across very smart when talking
Wasn’t impressed by them. Liverpool would have smashed them playing like this. They tried really hard though to be fair.
Edit: and yeah they were better than us. We were dreadful.

If they hired a more "qualified" manager like Moyes or Ancelotti they would have put 5 past us, thank goodness for the inexperienced fraud.
Ole was the greatest manager on the planet after his first few months at Utd.
He has coached 3 games in his career
Doesnt matter, you have it or you dont. Ole hasnt got it. Arteta who knows, but his team actually looks like they have a plan. Not the fitness, but they have a clear plan and structure. We dont if we have the ball
Only thing I'm impressed with so far is the press. Granted he's only been there for a week but they're still shite. Just managed to play against a much more shite team today. They are dead on their feet past the 60th minutes with these tactics. If they don't manage to score first in games they will struggle tremendously, and I could see muscle injuries piling up as well. Ozil ran today more than he has in the past 4 years
We looked flat under Ole after a few games. We won the games, but not convincing. Our level deteriorated pretty quickly, while our results were high. Once we started losing, it went away. People were happy with decent performances and wins after the Jose debacle, but it wasnt sustainable
I can’t understand it for the life of me. Don’t teams usually need 3 seasons and 6 transfer windows to establish an identity and style? Like Rodgers at Leicester oh wait that’s not a good example. I guess like any United manager post sir Alex.
Having a plan against Utd isn't rocket science.
Bruce , Pearson, Hodgeson, Howe did it too.
What he did was sit his two DM's deep in the first half and completely suffocated Lingard to death. The pressing and energy was from the bounce. No excuses though, he deserved the win today
His imprint is clear after one week. I'm very impressed by him

Can already see a vision from his club, fair enough, the fitness levels aren't there yet and it was clear to see that from Chelsea but give him the Summer for pre-season and a transfer window he can really show he's a top manager.
Okay mate
66% of Arteta's managerial career has been spent drawing with Bournmouth and losing to Chelsea.
Not sure if we made them look good or what but that reminded me in first half of our games vs Barca. We huffed and puffed but they just outnumbered us all the time
They were shocking in the second half. Didn't see much difference from the team we played last year.
Nice banter
Typical new manager bounce, they will play well for the next few months before the inevitable burnout. We can see how good he is a year or two from now.
Oh wow..
The level of disillusionment, trying to win the fans.
At what point in football history Arsenal is the biggest club in England?
To be fair, we were the World’s biggest club in the 1930’s
It could’ve been so much better had it not been for Hitler

He obviously will learn and improve, unless he is resistant to learning like our manager. Plus if he gets backed in the market, who knows.
Jesus fecking christ, Arsenal played a monumental pressing game and were fecked after 60 minutes. A more capable midfield at United and we'd have ripped the arse out of that team.
There's no style to his football, he's simply getting them to work harder than they did under Emmery. Problem is that its not sustainable.
United were shit today but had the team that played City and Spurs showed up, we'd have wiped the floor with them.

Every manager from Klopp to Guardiola to Mourinho has said that when you're playing 3 games in a week, you basically don't have any time to do any serious training. You've got rest, conditioning and basic training. So to think that Arteta has done that in just one of those weeks is just a tad far-fetched. Playing a more aggressive pressing style and allowing players to play their natural game in possession is not particularly impressive...it's exactly what Ole did, which people bizarrely seem to have forgotten about. And Arteta faces the same obvious challenge that Ole did - the conditioning isn't right to sustain that kind of football for an entire game, never mind half a season. It might well be that Arteta can channel a mixture of Guardiola and Wenger but to believe that's already started now is pretty ridiculous...
if he wins 15 on the spin now make sure we just put it down to the new manager bounce
honestly the cringiest thing in football will be following arteta for the next 18 months until his sacking, every interview will be called 'fascinating'

At least he doesn't jump around like a nobhead when his teams scores.
Arteta is a gamble for his lack of experience, but the lack of experience doesn't mean he's sure to fail. Every manager has to start somewhere. If he's as dedicated to coaching and the management side of the game as I've read then he'll make a better manager than most players do I think
whats so cringy about people being impressed by Arteta. He speaks very well and has beautiful hair. He is a lovely man and you dont get a psycopate vibe with him like his mate Guardiola
haha i guess i can get behind that. so far it has been really strange, ole has experience, lampard has even some experience, arteta has zero and yet his appointment was inspired because he guarantees world class football... looking forward to him flopping badly, post bounce of course
Their pressing completely nullified us. Starting off giving Maguire space and blocking the path to Lindelof. As soon as it was with either of our two very left footed midfielders, they were on them. They looked like the team with a plan.
It looks like the players so far are buying into what Arteta wants, he was assistant to one of the best manager's in the world. Arsenal taking a punt on him for that reason alone was probably worth it.
Hope he does well for Arsenal as he seem to have a very defined style that suits a team like Arsenal and he has already worked along very prestigious managers.
What is his very defined style? After 3 games in a week where’s he probably had no chance to install a real style and just fine game by game and told the players to run around more?
I’m finding these comments about how he’s clearly a class manager and he’ll only improve and he’s playing with a style already so weird!
They’re running around more and having their new manager bounce. Atleast give it a month or two to start drooling over his amazing style of play
Phew, nice to read, atleast not everyone here has gone crazy
Where’s all this love in came from? He’s managed 3 fecking games W1 D1 L1 and people are acting like he’s Guardiola Mk II.
