    Well Andy it does If the manager is the one who overides a sale to offer a new deal to one of the culprits. Thats him accepting mediocracy and he cant hide from that.

    As for the defence true we are missing our top 2 defenders but he did send our third best out on loan to play these ones. He did so while knowing Gabriel would be out for a while.

    So mistakes on the pitch happens no manager can fix that from happening but the above he can.

    Muff – using saliba a whip is poor. I managed to watch him a bit last season and all I have to say is he is bang average. He can’t defend that well, he’s worse than holding. The Orem would eat him alive and it’s very likely to be reason he is being loaned out more. He was offered to Newcastle they wanted him he rejected the chance. So I’d say he has weak mentality.

    Xhaka only signed a the extension we had the option for. It retains some value in jan or end of season. He has experience so it obvious why he starts over lokanga etc

    Edu has 3 days to sign a rb, cdm, and cb. That’s what we also need to compliment the young players we’ve signed.

    if it wasn’t for leno it would have been 8/9.arteta’s been
    here long enough now to build a style of play and build
    partnerships and he hasn’t done either.he changes the style,
    players,and hasn’t got a clue about the word CONTINUITY.
    under him he hasn’t a clue what his best centre backs are,
    and as for midfield he’s weakened it from last season when
    it’s crying out for us to sign a bissouma,but he’d rather
    sign potential in lokongu than a ready made player.say it
    till i’m blue in the face,the spine of any team must be
    made of rock not brittle and weak like our is.he’s had
    enough time to do all of the above and like keown said
    all he does is change the team week in week out.he’s got
    to go cause right now we are in a relegation battle just like
    a few of us thought we would be.norwich will relish playing
    us that’s for sure.

    Enjoy watching Kola and Mari then andy because he better than both as well as Holding who aint much better.

    Weak mentality haha really you say that after this game he should fit right in then.

    Xhaka does not have any value with or without a contract.

    Edu wont/cant do shit there is zero players who would want to join this mess now.

    Played 3. No points, no goals, -9 goal difference. Many may be to be blame – players, technical directors, owners. However the buck stops with the manager. End of.

    I honestly dont think we can beat that many teams in the PL at all.

    How do you spend 130m and still end up with the same team?

    Thats some feat that then again Arteta and Edu are all about breaking all our worst records so i guess it fits the theme.

    I’m not going to lie,As I’ve been saying All Summer Arteta has shot himself in the foot by recruiting the players he has.And I will say it again,Edu has put unnecessary added pressure on Arteta by spending a 100% premium on each player we’ve bough, some were even avoidable and loaned out.

    Arteta,You have Fallen out with Saliba.The fact that He thinks a Holding,mARI OR Chambers Offers better options than Saliba that’s where I know he’s clueless in his judgement.
    Retain Saliba,Sign two experienced defenders than Ben White and he would not have been forced to start with the Most laughable defensive lineup in a long long time for us.

    Cedric,Holding,Chambers,Kola.
    I mean,Is this for real than we’re still going into games with this lot.I saw that,And I said to myself this team is going to get roped 4-0 or 5-0 and so they were.
    They’re not even championship quality.

    The window is still open and we are shooting out for an expereinced defender.

    Edu has a lot of work to do,Offload players.Sign another CB and Aouar.
    Otherwise this is just the preview of what’s to come I can tell you that.
    I mean it When I say this,Those defenders wouldn’t start for any other PL team.

    I’ll guarantee that after his 3 game suspension Xhaka will be the first name on the team sheet. That alone is an indication of how far this club has fallen.

    You’re right Ottawa, Arteta overruled Edu over Xhaka. Edu had him sold to Roma and Arteta The Arse overruled him, stopped the transfer and gave The Donkey a new contract with more money. He then makes him captain, CAPTAIN the biggest idiot at the club and he makes him captain. Then to top it all after the moron was sent off what does Arteta do, he pats him on the back. PATS HIM ON THE F*****G BACK. He should have been punching the idiot in the head. And that team selection yesterday, what a joke, he goes 5 at the back and chooses 5 full backs, no genuine central defenders but 5 full backs, Xhaka, Smith-Rowe and Odegaard in midfield with Saka. What sort of set up was that. No wonder City had 81% possession. Our players didn’t even know how to line up from Emerson goal kicks, the defending for crosses was a joke. What does Arteta do in training? He’s useless, totally clueless. Last season his preferred CD partnership was Holding & Mari (he dropped Gabriel and made him 3rd choice), now he prefers Kolasinac a shit left back instead of Mari. He refuses to play AMN, are you telling me he’s not a better wing back than Cedric Soares? Arteta should be sacked for this game alone, what a farce. I’ve been saying for the last 10 years we can’t defend but the Usual Suspect and others started in the summer with it’s fine, we have the 3rd best record in the PL blah, blah, blah. Our defending is useless, how many central defenders have we bought in the last 5 years? Eight. How many are any good, well there’s Ben White and that’s it. How much money spent in the last eight years? ONE BILLION POUNDS, how many top players signed? One, possible 2. How much of that billion came back in sales, hardly any. FOUR HUNDRED MILLION spent in the last 2-3 years. How many top players signed? None. FFS just sack Arteta now and get Xhaka out of the club ASAP. Utter shambles.

    TSO you say the window is still open and we need an experienced centre back and Auour. This manager and technical director should NOT be given any more money to spend. They are both utterly useless at their jobs. To give them more money is reckless and irresponsible.

    Aouar!!!!! WTF do we need him for? We’ve got Smith-Rowe, we’ve got Odegaard who we have just signed. Where could Aouar possibly play? Plus the fact he’s got an appalling attitude. His club are trying to give him away, Lyon have lowered his price 3 times and still no one is interested. They are now talking about letting him go on loan. When a club want a player out, they continually lower the price and not one single club makes an offer doesn’t that tell you something. We don’t need another Fancy Dan or trouble maker, havent we learnt anything from the Ozil saga. What we need is a top quality holding midfield player to replace Xhaka The Donkey. We need someone like Declan Rice, Marcelo Brozovic Joshua Kimmich. Partey isn’t the answer. This club has to get real, no more second rate players and no more second rate managers. ONE BILLION SPENT IN EIGHT YEARS and we have nothing to show for it.

    + one for all anti Arteta shouters. And for you the special idiot one. PUT A SOCK ON YOUR MOUTH!!! WHY YOU NEVER HAD FULLY WATCHED A MATCH. ALL YOUR KNOWLEDGE IS FROM A GAME CALLED FOOTBALL MANAGER.
    And it tells you how much knowledge you have in football or in what you call soccer.

    Hell shite we can get messi and ronaldo or any superstar player playing for Arsenal FC, but they will get the same attitude as ozil, lacazette and aubameyang. Why? Because of our lousy poser no good manager wannabe who thinks this is just a game like football manager and doesnt even know a good tactic or 2, when its needed.

    Arteta the stupid one thinks he is good as pep as long as you sell youth players and replace them with mercenaries who promises something and never holds them. Arteta thinks quota for homegrown players should be meet with selling youth academy players and buy raw but only good season wonderers who still needs learning the trade. But hey it works on the game but never in real life.

    So Arteta is appaling to every players mentality, they dont even hesitate to do stupid things over and over again. But this is a professional football and it is suppose to happen. Arteta making the statement “premier league is not about clubs tradition, but about mercenaries who needs to get their weekly wages.” highly factual.

    Premier league is about a league filled with mercenaries who doesnt care about clubs tradition, stature of the club or how it means to the fans. Premier league is about foreing mercenaries in english soil.

    We need a proper manager who knows how to defend, attack and certainly can keep useless players out from the club and yesterday it showed how the trainee got his ass kicked over and over again and still get fucked by his beloved useless fuckdrain piece of shit player of xhaka. And how much it showed the respect of the club by patting him ……..

    Max – I said that at the start of the window,No one took it seriously.To see the kind of players we were linked with,espescially most of them being Inexperienced Unproven Youngsters who we’ve paid more than a 100m premium for.
    I was shocked when I read that we put in a bid of 40m for Benwhite,Honestly scratching my head as to how Stupid edu can be.He only confirmed his terrible negotiating skills by yet again having first two bids rejected and a third 50m bid being successful for an UNPROVEN DEFENDER FINISHING 16TH IN THE LEAGUE.After that it was Ramsdale for 30m.Then it was Odegaard for 34m.
    A half decent technical director wouldn’t have spent more than 30m on the firs two players and got Odegaard with on a loan with buy option granted he was not of any value to Madrid and fell down the pecking order.I’ve never seen a worse technical director in my life.

    The damage is already done.It will only get worse if we don’t sign a Central defender.We need Aouar because he offers another dimension certainly.If not him then Ramsey but our current midfield is shit and none of these so called Youngsters are good enough but people like to wet themselves over.In the first three games they’ve only proven they’re relegation material.

    I don’t blame Arteta too much for the first two games but his tactics were naive and terrible yesterday and that lineup he put out there was asking for trouble even with the players missing.Having said that some of the options he had he had to force to play them like the defenders.Cedric is our third choice right back had the worst game I’ve ever seen.Holding is an imposter and Chambers is a PAPA WENGER signing who we shelled out 16m but can’t even recover 1m for him.

    Its funny that Willian apparently is willing to waive the remainder of the contract to leave.

    That is a clear sign when even our worst performer last season does everything he can to jump ship.

    I want him gone no doubt but this is so funny given what he said when he signed. That Arteta thought we would be fighting for CL Title in 3 years haha
