He's made Arsenal a chore to watch (didn't watch the game today)
This was him today. Said it during the game but my god they tried their hardest to resemble peak Stoke under Pulis.

Why does he look like Pulisic here

Hard to argue with this just now, it's a definite rut we are in and it's not pretty to watch, although I do remember similar being said last season around this time. I agree with Rio after the game when he was talking about movement, I said it on here last week, overlaps, underlaps, rotation of position, tempo, he needs to get back to this.
We can talk about missing Odegaard all we want, but this is what really breaks teams down. Timber at left back is hurting us currently, he doesn't provide the same movement around Martinelli as he's not comfortable on his left side.
Passes are all too slow and too safe, until we get wide and it's just slung onto the box anyway. Need to try Nwaneri instead of Trossard as he can just offer that freshness needed just now. Even if he can't last the full 90, he done more in 10 mins than Trossard offered in 80mins.
You can't be critical of Arteta. This is the best manager the world has ever seen, after all. Look at all those trophies he's won for Arsenal despite barely spending a penny.
Its a tough one with Odegaard out but I think he's taken them as far as his ability allows. I think biggest alarm bell was the CL defeat to Bayern. I can't see a top manager losing that with the form and trajectory of the 2 clubs going into that.
They should be looking to upgrade next summer but they've actually let the best candidate for the job go - Tuchel would've been the man to take them 1 step forward building on what Artetas done.

Ødegaard is back so no excuses now. The cheats are finished without Rodri so this sorry lot are the only ones that can stop Pool. They need to win at Chelsea or it’s game over.

Nobody is stopping Gouda Pep
Your tone is different than when you host AFTV Robbie.....
I just can't stand the disrespect for the greatest manager of all time
This just isn't true. It's just a flippant comment with very little substance behind it.
Pep lost to Spurs in 2019 (a season where Spurs didn't even qualify for the champions league the following season) and Lyon (they finished 7th in Ligue 1 that year) the following season in 2020. Does that mean Pep isn't a top manager?
What about all the times Fergie lost against teams that on paper we should be beating. The likes of Monaco, Dortmund and Leverkusen spring to mind, all teams who didn't win their respective league that season. Is he not a top manager?
It's knockout football, these things happen in one off games and the champions league is such a difficult trophy to win. Fergie and Pep are thought of as arguably the 2 greatest managers to exist and they've only managed 5 between them despite managing some of the best teams and clubs in the game and having countless attempts at doing it.
Arteta is clearly a top-level coach. He needs to win a big one to be cemented in the elite category, but it's always going to be difficult when facing off against a city team which is built on the foundations of 115 financial doping charges and a blank cheque book to replace players on a yearly basis, even Klopp only managed it once. His ability to get his team over the line is what will get him recognised in the same breath as the likes of Klopp, Pep, Carlo, etc, not results in one-off games against other European powerhouses. Whether he can manage that remains to be seen, but he won't have any issues finding a job at another top club after his performance at Arsenal.
Arteta said they way they played against Inter, they can win at Chelsea playing that way. Thats definitely Inter-resting.
His latest moan…I mean talk about being dramatic because of a couple of injuries for a month or two…
"What I'm praying for is that after the international break we have the team fully physically equipped, that they are available and that they are fit, because, it's been a nightmare for eight weeks.
"Doubt after doubt, issue after issue, not only with the ones that are not able to play, but with the ones who are able to play.

What's your obsession with Arteta and Arsenal. I mean, we all like a moan about rival teams and managers, but you literally just log in here to that about Arteta and Arsenal specifically?! You're acting like he's shat in your chips or something.
