Some coaches are just not suited to handling pressure like in big clubs, for example Moyes. But no doubt Nuno is a brilliant coach. True though. But I feel if allowed to get rid of big men not willing to work hard and bring his players like in wolves, there's chance he'll get it right. |

mostob: My brother, the thing vex me . I think I and Jodera were discussing here on how it is a gamble to sign Aouar that there is nothing special about him. And Szoboszlai and Benrhama were both available for less fee. Arsenal's scouts no just get sense. what pains more is their interference with the coach's decision. Emery wanted Zaha, they gave him Pepe.....and many others i can't even remember . ![wink](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/wink.png) Just because Pepe's fee will be played in installment and there was a big offer for Iwobi to balance the financial books. That was another big mistake still haunting till date. |

Jodera2: Yeah... With the way the guy dribbles in tight spaces eh, it's surprising. I saw him do that once in a match, I thought it was a fluke, seeing him do that on another occasion, I then knew there's something about that boy. And his passes too are great. It's good he came and the right time wen Milan had stability, else it would have been detrimental to his growth Do not be surprised You guys better eyes than the Arsenal scouts, they're busy monitoring Erikson, Joginho and Siggurdson on loan for January ![grin](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/grin.png) |

Yes I can confirm that. Their scouting is just superb. They even got Semedo on loan when no one was looking. I think their performance boils down to the coach. Players like AMN and Torriera who have that work rate will thrive under such managers. With some more money at Arsenal, I believe Nuno will push us up. |

Wolves don't do extensive scouting, they implement an agent led recruitment system spearheaded by Jorge Mendes the super agent. Most of their signings are guys with links to Mendes. I like what they do, no big boys egos or billionaire in the team..just players ready for straight business in the pitch. |

ORIJIN201: the thing I love about them the most is how hard they work. They work so hard and frustrate opponents. Movement is superb too. But our own chickens will stay stagnant in one position be waiting for sideway passes. Useless bunch! The bolded I've noticed from Wenger(last years) to Emery and Arterta.. I think this is a function of the players and not coach, I don't want to believe any coach will set up to play that drab football. For me, I feel this can only be solved by bringing in Sanchez and Kante like players who can run, cover grounds and willing to receive the ball ..or how do you think this can be solved? |

Neto is there now, we go prefer we squander money on another useless player. You sef sabi Jota too? I was willing to risk Auba's sell for Jota. Another player I fancy at Wolves is Podence, he is hazard esque in that LW, watch the likes of utd or spurs snap them up for fee around £20M, while we keep trusting the process of Nelson |

Jodera2: Yeah, you have a point.
I don't think any top club in EPL would have allowed Arteta this leeway he had till now.
Another reason I feel fans would have either made him step up(that's dropping underperforming players) or see the sack is that, the boos by the fans would have reset his brain. If it continues, fans might start to leave before end of match, and if such bad run continues, then fans might refuse to turn up to stadium. This is where I feel the board will be pressured to step in cos they live for profit, thus if Arteta doesn't improve, he'll get the sack.
I just think Arteta prolonged stay is due to absence of fans, else he'll be in hotter seat than he is presently You broke everything down to pieces.. No addition no subtraction. ![cool](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/cool.png) |

One day you are advocating more patience with Emery, the next you are complaining that Arsenal are too patient. Oga why? ![undecided](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/undecided.png) Oga there's no where I advocated for more patience with Emery except earlier in his 2nd season when the complaints was just " Grinding results". Even at that when the result began to go worse, I supported the sack for trusting rubbish players.but I never was covering the senior average/bad players in the team. |

Jodera: This has been my point of what I'm hoping he does but he's not doing it. That's why I told kodded that if he can't bench "big" and underperforming players, then he has no business being in a top club.
He should also thank God that fans are not on the stadium all these times of bad results, cos it would have been very very worse for him This is what I said few weeks ago,but I was reminded he won the Fa cup and community plate and that any fan asking for his head is irrational. Whereas Dortmund sacked their coach whose side are few point off top position. I question Arsenal's mentality, we are too patient and embraced mediocrity so much. We tend to love coach and certain players too much and we suffer for it a lot. If I were to assume Arsenal's coaching job today, I'm benching Auba for 2 straight games and bringing him on at 70th minute in the 3rd. But guess what Fans will call for my head and sack if i do such. |

from Tierney post match interview, I belive that arteta has not lost the dressing room, i think that the only people that are unhappy with the coach are the same people that were unhappy with emery and wenger.
if arsenal need to move forward i think its best to stick with arteta and bin all those old cargoes. because if we sack arteta then we are going round circles because the next manager will still have to face these old cargoes with their over inflated ego in the squad and by this time next year we all will be clamoring for the head of the next manager.
i think its time for we the fans to back arteta no matter what, if arteta is gone then the old cargoes has won again, they did it with wenger, they did it with emery now they have started that rubbish with arteta, and I'm sure those useless players will still do the same shít with the new manager.
las las na we the fans go suffer am because those players will continue that rubbish and still get paid while we languish in the league with the new manager.

Xhaka is an activity former. His passing motion looks good but he never goes anywhere with it. Same with Willian. If you see the way Willian moves around the pitch like a gangster you would never believe that he has scored only 60 league goals in his 14 yr career.

Roland17: Before we forget, this past summer, Hertha Berlin offered to take Xhaka for 25M, the board was okay with it but guess who pleaded with and convinced Xhaka to stay? Arteta!
That decision meant sending Torreira/ Guen out of the team for this same Xhaka that offers this team absolutely nothing!
Yet, I should not critique Arteta? Or question some of his irrational decisions making? This decision was the red flag for me, I knew he would fail with that singular thing he it. I think it was even around £34M. The no1 Emery deserved the sack was extending Xhaka's contract and avoiding Elneny, I was like didn't you see Nzonzi at Sevilla? Saw Verrati,Motta at PSG, yet Ebening made him captain, then I understood Xhaka dey use serious Jazz. For me, decision to retain/sell Xhaka at Arsenal has been a true test of a coach who understands football and would stay long at the Emirates. Also The emergence of Xhaka ended Wenger. ![undecided](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/undecided.png) |

Xhaka red card is a blessing in disguise. Nevertheless if we lose this match, Arteta should start packing his bags. For all his tactical noose, he is a poor decision maker. I was a staunch advocate of him becoming our manager but he clearly doesn't understand the job. I can now say he is worse than Emery. Ah ![shocked](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/shocked.gif) worse than ebening ke ![cheesy](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/cheesy.png) Well, Arterta could also bring Lazio to top4 in Italy if given the right platform and enabling environment just as Emery is enjoying life in Spain.

Yes. Our main problem has been poor recruitment over the past years. We lost Carzola, Ramsey, Roscisky, Wilshere, Sanchez, these are creative players and were not properly replaced. There are quality players out there one doesn't need to break the bank to have. You just need quality recruitment team. IMO, the bolded takes 60% of Arsenal's problem 1 Like |

Why do you always misconstrue statements? FYI all the players you listed are currently doing well and having first team action in the different clubs they joined. I didn't say they are bad, I meant Arsenal didn't upgrade well on them. When Klopp sold players he brought in better players and most of them for an average,/lesser fee. |

Jodera: I'm not sure about the bolded.. Arsene Wenger was getting outdated as almost all the modern managers in the league were outwitting him.
It seems you've forgotten we finished 6th at his last season with us. I laugh when people say Wenger would do wonders with this team, maybe the Wenger of early years not the one that finished 6th, the league was easier then maybe they forgot. I think Arsenal didn't upgrade on the departures of the f.f: Monreal,( Kola should have been sold and Tierney made the 1st choice). Koscienly- Luiz was not an upgrade Iwobi Welbeck Ramsey Mhyickytyrn |
