Wasn't Auba banging in goals under Arteta up until he got his new contract?

It never pays to be too smug in football tobermory, things can turn sour very quickly, especially if you’re an Arsenal fan. I’d like to think we can get top 4 this season, but don’t think it’s a given by any means. I think the Arsenal Board deserves some credit the way they handled the discontent last season. It was very clear they were going to stick with Arteta whatever happened, which I think helped the situation, particularly as players were shipped out. Edu also deserves great credit. We’ve been the worst in the division in terms of recruitment before he arrived on the scene, but that looks to be turning. |

They got an eye on a kid called Danilo in Brasil
If he is truly a wonder kid it fills the gaping hole in centre mid. |

The 21-year-old received a straight red after catching the back of Yeferson Soteldo's ankle with his studs up. It comes one month after his previous dismissal, which was also due to a dangerous challenge that saw his studs make contact with Matias Zaracho's calf in the Copa Libertadores quarter-finals.
Obviously I do t want a kid who keeps getting sent off but at least he does it in anger and gets his man unlike Xhaka who often lets his man ghost by and has to kick him after the damage has been done  |

Although his recent performances may tell a different story, Danilo remains one of the most talented young midfielders in Brazil and a key player for his side. It's unlikely that he will come cheap, but Palmeiras could reluctantly grant Danilo's wish if he wishes to move on in the coming months. It's been a long wait, but it looks like Arsenal could finally be in with a chance of securing one of their long-term targets should they wish to continue the pursuit this winter.

This mug has to go. Getting embarrassing now.
It’s only because the media love him that he’s still there. And think of the great players like Aubamayang that we’ve lost. Shocking. |

Lampard available now. Perfect opportunity to get rid.

Within two years they have become (current form) the best club side in the world imo

Great post wesdag. If we get the famous Fat Frank bounce, who knows where we could go….

What a magnificent thread retrieval.
Lurka fully exposed as the bounder that he is. He might know all sorts about Arsenal but clearly knows nothing whatsoever about football. Classic! |

Nice aftertiming there. The only attacking player he had signed was Willian who was a complete flop when I was at my most critical of him. What I said about Arteta was fair at the time and I didn't see you disagreeing with me or telling me why I was wrong at the time.
You are the same as those 'be careful what you wish for' types who criticised the Arsenal fans for wanting Wenger gone. Arsenal fans were right to want him gone and right to criticise Arteta at the time. Emery was hounded out of the club for less while Arteta had soft treament in the media and no fans in the stadium venting at him for most of that time. |

To be fair you Lurka, I don’t think your criticisms were completely out of kilter with the general narrative at the time. I don’t know where you usually sit at The Emirates, but what struck me when Arteta was going through his difficult spell, it was clear that the vast majority of fans near me were still fully behind the new (and still very young manager). I think we all recognised that he is a steely, determined and very talented coach who didn’t yet have the tools at his disposal to play the way he wanted. And the club made it very clear they would back him, so the ‘Arteta out’ mob very much belonged in the land of the radio phone in, rather than in the stadium itself. We then had a couple of very good windows - even though there are some mugs on here who claimed that Odegaard was a waste of money. The additional signings of Jesus and Zinchenko brought a winning mentality into the squad.
The atmosphere at the stadium has been one of the real, and very surprising turnarounds. This was evidenced after Saliba put through his own net this season, and again on Sunday when we fell behind - there was brief noise from the away end but that was soon drowned out as the fans got behind the team. Will we win the league? Quite possibly not as City are a formidable force. But if you’d have offered me this at the start of the season, I’d certainly have taken it. |

I never criticised any Arsenal fans for wanting Wenger gone but I very much criticised all keyboard warriors like you who allied themselves to the quite disgusting campaign of savage intimidation, to the man and his family, to get him out. And I still do.
You deny it now too, for all to see. |

His time is now surely up. He has to go.
Caving in to City in injury time shows unacceptable mental weakness. If only we'd kept Aubamayang. The various sages on this thread knew their onions. |

heard a stat that if Arsenal best their points total from last season, we'd be the first club in England to have improved their points totals 5 seasons on the trot. There is nobody out there that could currently do a better job at taking it to City than Arteta, we're now unbeaten against City in 4 games, not many other clubs have that record against the Oil state run club.

I'd take Areola ahead of Arteta any day, maybe he can go back to City.
He could take Jesus and Trossard with him. |
|
By:
In my view if you had to name Arsenal's player of the season the short list would be Raya, Saliba, Hincapie & possibly Rice or Timber before he got injured.
We should have done far better as the squad was the strongest and the title should have been won weeks ago. I'll stick with binning Trossard and i nearly forgot Arrizabalaga. |
|
By:
I nearly forgot Madueke as well.
|
|
By:
Raya should be EPL player of the year let alone Arsenal's best player.
He's saved us so many points this season. That save v West Ham won us the title. |

what, the one that slipped through his fingers and was given a dubious foul?

Needless to say, you lot could've got him but Levy haggled.

One of the great Freds....
If only we'd kept Aubamayang and played him through the middle. Just think how many more titles we would have won. |
|
By:
I don't disagree.
A 20 goal a season striker & suddenly we've won the league. |

He should be gone after another poor result, it wasn't bad luck you have to make your own.
How can you start a game like this with Mosquera at right back and use Saka as a defender to cover for him ?. When he got booked at the start off the second half it was only a matter of time before he made a mistake, why wasn't he subbed immediately ?. Arteta is a fraud. |
|
By:
You start Mosquera because Timber has only trained 2 days and isn't fit to play 90. You use Saka to help him because Mosq is not a RB and is up against the best left winger in the world. You are also a goal up after only 6 mins, which was unexpected.
He should have taken him off before the pen, when you could see PSG were pushing more and Kvara was getting into the box more. Otherwise Arteta did the right thing, played to his team's strengths and not the opposition's. Could have gone at them a bit more as they weren't good at the back but prob had as good chances as they did with only 25% possession. |
|
By:
It must have been safer to start with Timber and hope to get at least an hour out of him.
The possession stats were 25% because for some unknown reason they Raya went long from the goal kicks, why the sudden change ?. Gyokeres would have been the obvious choice using those tactics and someone would need to be in close proximity to him for this to work. We've benefitted from set pieces this season and you're more likely to get them playing out from back than going long. Why the change ?. My view is Arteta doesn't try to win games against the top teams and aims not to lose but has got it wrong too many times in the past. Too many times he fields weakened teams to try to avoid injuries but they still happen and the team loses momentum off the back of it. We had by far the strongest squad and only just managed to scrape the title after several wobbles. |

Next season, having won, they might not be so flaky.
Kick on, play to win games not titles... We shall see. As for the final you can't go head to head with psg, open attacking is their playground. If you are a 1500m runner you don't go to olympics and enter 100m. |
