Mikel Arteta | Lego Pep watch

His contempt for these lesser cups is amusing seeing how it was winning one of those that probably gave him enough leverage to weather through the rough patches that arose along the way before he finally got it.
 
You can view the job that Arteta has done from a few different angles, and none of them are wrong.

You can think he's taken Arsenal from mid table to title challenging, so he's done a good job. You can also question if he has what it takes to get them over there line.

You can look at the forwards in Jesus, Havertz, Martinelli, Trossard, Saka and Nelson, and ask if that's really good enough to win prizes in comparison to his peers. Or you could be off the viewpoint that most of them were signed under Arteta signings so he has no excuse.

Or, a combination of them all, you could think he has done a good job, understand that it's not progressed this season, think the forwards were good enough to get him to this point, but understand that he'll need better to give him the best chance of getting over the line, but even then, ultimately he might not be able to do it might take someone else to.
 
he’s the spanish southgate. he was needed at the time. he’s not good enough to win things consistently. there’s not enough about him.
