Arsenal like celebrating mediocre

Where you go put man UTD

Hahahaha I like our discussion. Don't get me wrong, you are making some valid points and it proves to me that you know your football. I am not someone who gets angry or riled up when getting or listening to some else's point of view.

However, my take is that you are personally restricting your point of view to Arsenal calling them ' an underachieving team with an over rated coach in Arteta" so tell me why is Arteta over rated according to you. And why is Arsenal an underachieving team? You clearly dont rate both so why are you calling them underachievers or overrated? You just don't like Arsenal or Arteta...fair enough no yawa.

So a young novice coach who has never coached any team before took over a team like Arsenal that were been mocked and laughed at for years while finishing outside the champions league places in positions like 5/6/7/8 etc, and led them back to the champions league, finishing runners up the last two seasons, reaching the quarter finals of the champions league, and also playing an attractive attacking football in that period is not improvement? Haba na, where are other ex players like Lampard, Keane, Rooney, Neville, Viera, Gatuso, etc who tried and fail

Kinzo0917:



About 10 games still remain

kfck01:
This team called Arsenal are such a disgrace to the world of football.

press9jatv:
Man it’s will still come up and turns things around with the new coach. The major problem of Arsenal is Arteta. Van Persie have said it times without number

Okay,let's discuss football devoid of insults.

I don't hate Arsenal. In fact under Arsene Wenger and George Graham I liked the kind of football they played.
However you and I know that because of the poor state of the team since Wenger left the standards have dropped and that is the reason you think Arteta is a good coach. Arteta is actually average although when compared to his contemporaries like Lampard,Rooney,Scholes,and maybe Gerrard he looks a decent coach.
However when you compare Arteta to a very decent coach like Flick at Barcelona,Iraola at Bournemouth and Alonso at Leverkusen or even Tuchel you realise that Arteta is an average ordinary coach.
In fact once Arteta comes up against a cerebral coach in any tournament this year I guarantee you that 9 times out of 10 Arsenal will be found out and they will lose. This is why I am so confident that Arsenal will not win anything with Arteta this season but you as a fan are entitled to hope.

daniwise:
But seriously seriously,how Arsenal fans dey use cope ,untop this scattered economy

chipet67:

Full time sef na just one shot on target... and that was the last minutes missed header from Rice

CrossRhodes:

So the FA title and community shield he won in first 3 years, the other coaches were not so cerebral?

CrossRhodes:

When last dis ManU finish above arsenal?

Una go dey chat rubbish everytime

ViceGovernor:

That white haired Van Persie smells of piss.
He is just jealous of Arteta nothing more.

Goosethetruth:


I've been watching football for over 40 years. So I know what I am talking about. However as an Arsenal fan you are entitled to hope. I am also surprised you regard the Charity shield as a cup to be paraded. Like I said,the standards at Arsenal have fallen to abysmal levels.

press9jatv:
I don hear you here. You will see man utd coming up to be on top 4 of the table

Gboom:

Just tell us you hate that man called Arteta.
Football coaching job is one of the most delicate jobs on this planet that requires a little bit of luck because result will not always go your way even you have quality players at your disposal.
Presently, Arteta is getting it wrong because his midfielders are too slow and lack creativity and he needs to address that quickly.

I'm very sure you are going to rate Vincent Company high by the time he wins the Bundesliga next may forgetting that Tuchel a highly rated couldn't win the title last season despite the array of stars

Goosethetruth:



You may rate Vincent Kompany as a coach. I don't. When Kompany comes up against a cerebral coach like Alonso or Flick his inadequacy will be violently exposed despite the array of talents at his disposal.

Once again I don't hate Arteta. I am only telling you Arsenal fans to lower your expectations because 9 times out of 10 Arteta's inadequacy will be exposed if he comes up against a half decent coach.
It is a pity that the levels at Arsenal have fallen so low and few Arsenal fans know about the iron team that George Graham built in the 1980's nor the sleek attacking teams that Wenger built in the 90's.
However you are free to conti.ue hoping.

Gboom:

The era of 90's and early 2000's where the league is like 2 horse-races between Man U and Arsenal is quite different from this present era.
Wenger even contributed to dwindling fortune of Arsenal because all the players he discovered to increase his quality normally end up in joining Man U or Chelsea or Man city and he will always replace them with a mediocre who will not always measured up

CrossRhodes:

They will get a trophy this season, watch out

CrossRhodes:

Still missing the point,
My argument was half time, but suit yourself

You know nothing about football. As a united fan and having followed English premiership over the years, I respect what Arteta is doing at Arsenal with the bunch of average players.

Goosethetruth:


I said devoid of insults. If you go that route I will ignore your subsequent posts.
First off you are an Arsenal fan. There is no need to hide behind United to get your message across.

Now to Arteta. Arteta is a very average coach. The alleged FA cup he won in 2020 was won with Unai Emery and Freddie Lunjberg's teams because Lunjberg was the interim coach after Emery was sacked.
The reason you Arsenal fans feel that Arteta is a good coach is because the standard at Arsenal has dropped so low since Wenger left that any form of light appears to be day time to Arsenal fans but you are free to hope.
Yesterday Arteta had Partey playing at full back in a system only he could comprehend.
If some of you were alive to witness George Graham's Arsenal teams in the 80s that went toe to toe with Liverpool and won the old first division in 1989 at Anfield you would understand what I am talking about. I suggest you goggle it on YouTube then come back and tell me Arteta is not an average coach.
The best of Arteta's teams of the last two seasons could not lace the shoe laces of the best of Wenger or Grahams teams.
So you Arsenal fans can hope all you want but I assure you you are going home empty and without a trophy this season as long as Arteta remains your manager.
Happy weekend!

abbasajao:

What is your rate?

ndidibabe:
You sound more like an Arsenal fan to me...You guys need to appreciate what Arteta is doing with the average players in that team. Hire Guardiola and he wont do better. Same thing I used tell my husband who used to be a die hard gunner. I don't understand what you meant by "insult" though

Goosethetruth:


I am not an Arsenal fan but I am a student of the history of football. When I started watching football it was only 2 points for a win. The defenders could back pass the ball to the goalkeeper and he could catch the ball with his hands. There were only two substitutes allowed per team in a game. Referees wore black jerseys. All football boots were black coloured. There was no VAR. The Referees were fair but did not blow the whistle every time a player went down at the slightest contact. So for you who probably started watching football in the year 2000 to say I know nothing about football is a gross insult.
So when I tell you Arteta is an average coach and Arsenal will win nothing with him going forwards. Take it from me I know what I am talking about. Arteta is not even on the level of coaches like Iraola at Bournemouth or Hansi Flick at Barcelona or Xabi Alonso at Leverkusen not to talk of master coaches like Zidane,Mourinho,Klopp or Guardiola.

ndidibabe:
Please stop blabbing. Any serious football fan knows Arsenal do not have the quality to win the league but this things happen sometimes especially with a good coach and belief amongst the players. Example is in the case of Leicester that year. Even this Arsenal almost won it last year and everyone is still seeing them as a contender ahead of Chelsea and United this year. It takes a quality coach to parade average player like Arsenal's and still make them a top team.
