This is solely on Arteta, the continual use of Auba out wide is bad tactics, bad management. Nearly 200 mill of strikers and we are pissin in the wind. Partey is and will be a great buy but, there is no link up play between midfield and attack, and quite frankly despite the Fa Cup last season we are no better than we was under Emery. The Ozil situation is to put it mildly a embarrassment to the club. I truly thought that we was going to pick a playmaker up in the transfer window, did we put all our eggs in one basket on Aouar? The most worrying thing is I cannot see any improvement coming anytime soon.

Arteta complains about bad luck and how he feels sorry for his players because they deserved more.
How familiar is that kind of talk?
No responsibility
No acceptance of reality
No different to what the last to managers used to say and do.

Have to agree 62, no different from the last days of Wenger, Emery and now Arteta. Absolutely rubbish.

We did well end of last season particularly against Pool City and Chelsea because our defence is better and our forwards had plenty of room against teams who played a high line and had a go. I remember saying this during the Wenger last year as being a game of basketball where we are so slow and allow the defence to pick up our forwards who aren`t either like last night bothered to find space or harry and force mistakes ( like Pool front three do ) . In basketball though you have to shoot within a certain amount of time. Not us we pass and pass and then pass a bit more. We weren`t let down by the defence last night but by a very very lacklustre front three who were supplied by a midfield three who as far as I can see sat in front of the back four and barely moved. Partey and Xhaka should be enough to sit back against a team with ten behind the ball and if Dani is the choice should have been behind the front three being fecking creative! Won`t get top four if we don`t have a go and settle for a point. On the positive side we are three points off top four with a nightmare start. Well done to Leicester pure rope a dope mugging. Neither side deserved the win COYG PS Hope Arteta was watching Fofana and thinking yep Saliba a better option definitely long term than Mustafi.

Why do we continue to play people out of position.
Why aren’t we pressing like Mikel demands and the “reason†Ozil doesn’t fit into the side
Why are we still caught out with a simple ball over the top
Where’s the organisation
Then at the other end - where’s our attack gone, where’s our counter attack gone. Look at how quick Vardy turned defence to attack. Why can’t our strikers do that
Poor management and poor decisions. It highlights the Ozil issue, our organisation and pressing issue. More questions than answers which is concerning
Come on Boss - still got faith but it gets more and more difficult to support you. He’s had enough time and money. It’s time to deliver.

Leicester played with a back 8, we played with a back 7, not much going to happen in that setup.
26 Oct 2020 11:54:37
Leicester got 3 away points that’s what happened and we looked crap again with no vision in mind.
62 I see people are comparing him to Emery now due to his tinkering.

He really does look as lost and out of his depth as Emery right now SY mate. He doesn't seem to have an alternative to what he set out to do and like Emery and Arsene just keep doing the same things regardless of anything.
I'm not sure how long he will carry the players confidence if he doesn't address his own failings soon because again like both Arsene and Emery found out once you've lost the players your number is up amd it's then just a matter of when not if you stop being Arsenal manager any longer.

We need new ownership. We need someone who cares for the club. Personally believe new owners should only be allowed a minimum ownership. Privately owned football is destroying the love of the sport we definitely need someone who cares for the club as much as the fans. Arteta in my opinion will be a great manager but to be able to be a great manager u need owners that share values. I think while Arteta's time at arsenal as a player he was sheilded by most of the shannigans off the pitch by wenger and underestimated the job at hand. forget about complaining and moaning about ozil rightly or wrongly he won't be playing for us again. I want the opportunity for Ozil to play somewhere else to prove if the club is right or wrong of his treatment. let us unite and move on.
