Arteta’s hiring is a very very risky gamble if you ask me.. One thing I have gathered post Wenger is that seasoned and successful managers don’t fancy the Arsenal job, they are not jostling to get the job and now I am left asking myself if Arteta was the only option?

I understand we spoke with Martinez, approached Nuno before ultimately decided to go with Arteta. I said this after his first game, Freddy did not seem ready for the position and I think that made the board even more desperate to hire a new manager. If Freddy held the forth with good results we probably would have been more detailed and patient in our search for a manager who can clean up this mess.

I desperately want a firm manager who can make difficult and bold decisions about our players and style of play..I blame the board for not preparing for post Wenger. They were busy hassling for shares and ownership that everyone forgot to prepare for post Wenger until the results became unbearable and fans stayed away from the stadium.

What style of play and leadership should we expect from Arteta? Would he thrive without Mompha’s kind of money his preceptor has enjoyed throughout his career? From what we saw in his playing days when he was captain and few situations in the dugout, he is quite withdrawn and not the vocal type but the impression from those close to him is that is intelligent and good at reading games. That being said, I am not a believer that loud and vocal translates into strong leadership but this squad of ours need total reorientation and it may take some tough conversations with the players.

I remember I supported Emery ahead of Arteta and only needed 7 months into his first season to realize we made a terrible mistake. I feel safer under Arteta in comparison to Ebening but I don’t know if Arteta will take us where we need to be. Like in Freddy’s case, I will not entertain any excuses from Arteta about not having a preseason, a transfer window, budget or time and then use this period to experiment with losses or bad performances. We are approaching half of the season and are only 7 points away from 4th.

He is inexperienced, completely at that. But he was favorite even ahead of Evening last summer and he is favorite now too. Obviously there is something special about him that makes the Arsenal hierarchy to keep going for him despite that inexperienced tag. That special thing was what made City to snap him immediately Pep came on board and at a time he was just completing his badges.

Sorry for hyping him (I always have this biase for my peeps), but I think I will be more disappointed if we miss him and he goes on to do a Pep Guardiola.

BlueRayDick:



This is a very big gamble the board is taking. I hope he doesn't turn out to be a certain Coach Thierry Henry. I mean coach Henry was so good sitting beside Martinez doing things until he collect his first job as head coach ó.

I no just buy all dis "he's favorite 3 years ago and still favorite today " yarns o.

Anyways let's see what he will do this January transfer window if he gets the job.

Arteta is a very big gamble to be honest.
The way I'm looking at our team, it is like the team of Liverpool before klopp. And we know klopp needed transfer windows get Liverpool rolling back. To be sincere, I think a new gaffer, whether Arteta or another person coming in will need his own players, most of this players aren't just it. The players of sokratis, luiz kola, ozil mustafi xhaka and one of laca or auba needs to be cleared out. I feel these guys are big enough not to carry out effectively coaching instructions like pressing and keeping shape. We need like a change of most guys in the squad before we see remarkable change in the team. Seeing our game against Brighton really dampened my spirit about this team, cos even if a coach comes with the right tactics, I don't feel like we've the personnel to carry them out, and that will be another confusion for the coach who might start permutations again.
My advice is, leave ljumberg till the end of season, then bring in Arteta or any credible candidate they seem fit, back him to clear out the deadwoods we have and bring in tricky wingers and strong midfielders, let him use preseason to assess his squad and know his first eleven.
Even tho I feel top4 mathematically is still possible, I don't think it's realistic again with mourinho at Tottenham then Chelsea and man still jostling for that sole spot. Most of our players are not fighters, and need to be cleared, the earlier we realize this, the better for us.

Spy360:

All these talks about our players not good enough is itching me. Are we worse than Wolves, or Leicester or even Chelsea? It's bad results due to poor decisions that has brought us here. Poor management and coaching.
Forget, a decent manager can achieve much with this same team.

I absolutely agree with you and that is why I have been preaching that this is not a Europa League squad if managed properly and the more reason why I don’t want anyone experimenting with losses with this team. It is not a perfect squad but a good coach can get something out of this season with this squad, again, nobody should makes any excuse for Arteta because I will not buy it.

BlueRayDick:


Exactly! We need a coach that will hit the grounds and start getting results. We have 21 games till the end of season. A good coach that can at least guarantee not losing to any of the traditional top 6 teams and get results against smaller opposition will do us good.

This Arteta deal can be likened to a young graduate who made a first class, obtained his MBA almost immediately now taking his first job as the head of strategy/business transformation at a company not doing well; with the job of turning around the fortune of the company. He must be really really good to pull it off o.

I have always used Ajax as an example of proper club management. They have no super stars, no overly experienced player, lose their best players every single year, yet they rub shoulders with the best in Europe.

Hoping that Arsenal should replace all the players is a day's man's dream. It won't happen. But one thing we can hope for is to build on the youth we have together with a couple of experience. This is why I was personally excited about Mikel Arteta. He already has the reputation of developing young players, the likes of Sterling, Sane, Bernado, and De Bruyne greatly improved through his coaching.

At a time during the City game, I noticed him arguing with Pep about player positioning. My mentor always says to me-
whenever a student starts arguing with his teacher, then you know he has learnt the subject.

Arsenal's defence this season....

MrDojo:


Bro, if we were talking about another club, I would have supported you. But not with this Arsenal team. Let Pep and Klopp be announced today, they won't do anything with this squad.

Our players are overpaid, average, and lack desire to achieve anything on th pitch. Some of them are even uncoachable.

After Emery's sack, that was the perfect time for these players to have a clean slate. However, they continued playing like a tram worthy of relegation.

Let's not even begin to talk about the mentality of most of our players, I have never seen such a mentally fragile team in all my life. And they never take responsibility for anything.

No coach, I repeat, no coach will suddenly change the mentality of these players midseason. It's highly unlikely.

This week alone, several news outlets have reported our players just don't care. Yes, those reports maybe wrong, but from what we have seen on the pitch, I personally don't think they're wrong.

If you haven't noticed yet, most teams raise their games when they play Arsenal, because they can easily smell blood.

I don't see the miracle that will happen that will suddenly make us win Europa league, especially when some good teams dropped out from the UCL. Let's not even talk too much, do you see Arsenal beating Wolves or United over two legs? And these two aren't even the toughest opposition in the tournament.

Even though over 20 matches remain, this season is gone. It's time to be realistic. We need to take a step back and plan for the future. It's time for us to stop the rot in the club.

Yes, I'm very much pro-Arteta, and I believe (Hope) he'll succeed with us. Yes, his appointment is a massive gamble, but I'd take him instead of a finished Carlo or another manager on the decline.

Hopefully, his tenure as our head coach will bring back the old Arsenal. However, if he fails, we move on in our search.


Edit: Grammer....

iamoyindamola:
kdb said they watched videos of arsenal before the match that once opponents get the ball away from our attackers,the midfielders doesn't do anything to help the poor defenders.
I complained about this during our game at anfield people here say LFC are hard to beat I'm hating guendouzi. Well moving forward, auba is leading some senior players out of Emirates I pray and hope it's true we need to take our time to rebuild
