All I said about Guen and Emery was spot on, and I even suspect Emery could have colluded with his agent. Managers do this. It only got a bit personal when someone here insulted my person + talking about not making what Guen makes. Something Guen would go on to say to a fellow footballer.

Peeps have criticized Xhaka here, criticised Ozil and I don’t think all those that did earn as much as the duo, you will never see me engage peeps with personal attacks despite my different opinion. Yet I’m the emotional and hateful person.
All you said about the duo is your opinion and no problem about that, some didn't agree and some may. Its not a big deal at all.

It only got worrisome when you made 85% of Arsenal's problem and your post on them, that was when some of defended fiercely.

The fan who resorted to verbal abuse is wrong on all levels, even Guen is wrong to throw that jab on Maupay.

You could have reported the fellow or face him instead of transferring it to rest of us.

Its all fine. We good. smiley

As far as I am concerned, Arteta hasn't done bad considering the resources at his disposal. No DM, no AM, just one winger plus a little boy, injuries here and there with a lean squad. When Ljungberg took over as interim it became clear to me how bad our squad is. For Arteta to steer thus ship is remarkable.

His real test is next season. If he wins the FA cup on his very first managerial stint, for me its a huge achievement.
I get your point, I know you're huge fan of his, You wanted him to succeed Wenger.

I just do not like the hype you heaping on him, The situation at like he's done some wonders, I feel he's done okay. And we need to see what happens with time.

Szobolozlai is not a nobody. He is the midfield engine room of RB Salzburg. Everyone was raving about Haaland, but Szobolozlai is the man behind the iron mask.
He will greatly improve our midfield creativity. Liverpool got Minamino, Dortmund got Haaland, Leipzig got Hwang. European teams are shopping in Salzburg.
Roca of Espanyol is good too.

Everything is not all about signing big names. You can still find good quality if search well. Liverpool bought Wjinaldum from Newcastle, and Robertson from God knows where. We splashed big (even though is on installments) on Pepe, look how average Pepe is.

No telling how Ziyech will fare. Harvetz too. Xhaka was one of the bests in Bundesliga before we bought him.

Problem with Arsenal is that we don't move on quickly from bad players. Look how quick Chelsea moved Bakayoko, Drinkwater, Zapacosta, etc on. If it were Arsenal, they would all still be here. That's the problem we have.
Only if the scouts can see the players you're mentioning here. Until those talents get snapped up by the Ambitious teams.
The scouts are just chopping London money,

We pamper failures alot at Arsenal.

Other clubs move failures on quickly, we stick with them, making excuses for them.
It's pathetic.
Is it not shameful that Chelsea and utd are back in UCL, you'll think Arsenal will react by being proactive in the market, only for them to put fans on delay and eventually settle for some retiree or one media hyped players to appease the fans.

I loved the passion and energy Guen brought, I along with some fans even outside here wanted him to start all games, later I realised he isn't ready yet for a whole season, I swallowed my pride and demanded for Partey and Ndidi type who are men enough to carry a team for a whole year.

I used to pamper Iwobi, but when I heard Zaha may show, I didn't mind him going, only for us to settle for Nelson angry

You'll see fans hailing Xhaka like he is some Winaldum or Rodri.

You're right jare, pampering of Wenger days have gotten to some of the fans, only if they know Chelsea and utd are far above us and we are now competing with Wolves,Leicester Sheffield,Tottenham and Everton for Europa.

Beating Liverpool or any big team now is just like the Normal upset of Watford, Southampton winning Liverpool and city respectively. cheesy

For me I ain’t supporting mediocrity, all I’m saying is considering the rot Emery left and where we were headed Arteta has brought a glimpse of hope and I can only be out on him after a TW and how he performs next season.

My gross with Khalifa is despite the obvious gross piece of shii Emery and his love child were dropping on a weekly basis he would rather find excuses for them, scapegoat other players for them. Since Arteta took over and his boy out of the line up it’s been one funny negative stat to the other. If I bring out same stat for Emery, you would see how woeful he performed yet he was quiet during the period.

For what it’s worth, Xhaka has more points per match than Guen, Arteta has more points per match than Emery. We’ve conceded less goal per match without Guen and Emery.

He’s more of a fan of certain players and Manager than Arsenal.

I’m not saying we are there yet but I would have taken him serious if he kept same energy then
Yenyenyenyen.... tongue tongue

That guy don talk fact.

You can see how he analysed the rot from Wenger, the board and even the entire squad being average and shyte.

Yours is Emery and Guen, and now they are gone, Arsenal hasn't still surpassed 5th and Round 32 of Europa.

The errors at the back are still there, PAL hasn't still blown and Torreira and Ozil dey chop bench.

In fact, We can't still convincingly win Relegation threatened sides.

N.B This is not to attack Arterta, I only put that up for argument sake.

We supported Guen when he was doing fine earlier in the season, and called for his bench when he dropped form, yours was everything negative on the boi.

Emery like every other coach(Who sees the Arsenal job unattractive) won't do wonders with this squad.

I'll begin to attack coach if after having a good team still fumbles.

Sarr since I know more about him than the others. But we primarily need a DM most, and an AM.

If Ozil is staying we need him. If he isn't we need a good replacement. Grealish is very good, Zaha too. If we can tempt Ndidi to play EL (if we qualify) with us instead of Leicester that will be great.
Hahahahaha grin grin

I once dreamt of Suarez and Zaha only to wake up to see Nelson and Nketiah.

And I don't understand why Fhalifa and co are fighting each other here over useless players and managers that have failed all of us.
You guys should stop it already.
We are all hurting, and all these guys, the players and coaches, including Kroenke caused it.

None of them came through for us when it mattered most.

Auba miss important sitters. Remember the miss at Wembley last season, he missed against Tottenham again this season . Xhaka is mid table standard. Guedouzi is championship standard, Torreira is not good enough. Lacazette is midtable. Leno basically gave Chelsea their equalizer at Emirates with a bizzare howler, before his injury, he was joint top on goal leading errors with De gea.
Emery is not good enough, Arteta is not glittering either.

So why are you guys siding and killing yourselves over bunch of failures and disappointments? I watch you guys from sidelines and shake my head.

Just checked some stats, Arteta won 33pts since he took over at mid season, that's 10pts more than what he was given to start with. 33pts on both halves of the season would make us finish 3rd.

What about the points he won from losing positions? Your stats are misleading brother. Or are you trying to defend Emery by bring Arteta down?
Great teams look at the downside and improve on it, mediocrity is trying to justify bad with some good.
I honestly don't have big issue with Emery and Arterta, I just want those who out of emotions see everything negative on the former and all positives on the latter.

Arterta should be put on the spot also like those before him.

That's really shambolic. The loss to Chelsea in a match we were winning 1-0 up to 75mins pained me the most, same with the Tottenham game that we conceded immediately we scored and then went on to lose the match.
We gave away too many cheap points from winning positions.
Our midfield cannot retain ball and manage game. They also have no goal in them. The defense is nonexistent. The likes of Holding, Chambers, Luiz, Sokratis are all Championship standard.
We don't create enough chances. I heard we are 13th on EPL this season, based on goal scoring chances created.
Our problem is too complex and we don't have the money to go out once in transfer market and fix them.
I like this guy already, very balanced. smiley

I don't see Arteta doing better even with few more buys.
Kroenke definitely isn't going to spend big, and Arteta isn't looking special .
So I fully expect another underwhelming season incoming.

These are really depressing times for Arsenal.
We fully deserve this because we allowed Wenger stay here past his sell by date.

Arsenal has lost 15 points from winning position since Arteta took over..
If you add 12 points to our tally, we would have been on 3rd.
Arterta needs to do his home work very well before next season, I'm afraid honey moon is over and pressure from fans can break him and his fragile team further.

My point is then, the MO is to nitpick on some selected players, now that those players can’t be clearly attacked, the recent MO is to attack the entire team at the slightest opportunity, we ain’t gon win every games, even Liverpool and City have lost games within same period.

My other point is yall should calm down let him get a summer transfer window. All these negative vibes ain’t necessary.

The way some monikers are coming out to complain and rubbish Arteta’s effort does not only reek of hypocrisy but it’s nauseating as well.

Some of these monikers made us believe Emery was on the right path with excuses every match day, while he kept dishing out drab.

All of a sudden Emery is out, his main man is out of the squad as well, despite visible improvement in the squad that a blind man can see, even though he’s yet to have a summer window. They are now crawling out to spread negative vibes on the team.

Someone even dug out stats most that were bulk of Emery and recycled possession days. But when I talk about Emery they say I should leave him alone.

It’s just obvious some are actually fans of certain players and managers and not the club.
You're the one who didn't move on from Emery and Guen
Your Arsenal is still 10th, two place below Emery's worst 8th.
Why should we deceive ourself into any yeye improvement, The bad egg Guen was in the first leg 0-1 win at Olympicos. But when the team got knocked out Guen didn't play but its still he and Emery who was long gone fault for not being able to proceed against a side like Olympiacos in round 32.

It is your opinion, it's others to, air yours and move on.but No you won't move on. Until they open the yansh of people you rate and hype in the club.

Those who speak fact trace the teams problems to Wenger and the board, but you emotionally ignore and kept on dragging those two.

Kudos, you are the only one who kind of understands the direction of my argument when I droped those attachments. If we scored more and still finished outside of the top 4 for 3 consecutive seasons, shouldn't that be a pointer as to where we need to improve upon? We are an average team overall, we lack quality in numerous departments and that is buttressed in our results. Consequently, expectiing us to score more than 3 goals a game to assure a W is desperately unachievable!

How many goals are our competitiors (Spurs, Leciester, Wolves, Sheffield, Manchester United and Chelsea) scoring per game and how many are they conceding per game? I said this before that I am worried we have successfully absolved the clowns we parade at the back of their blame and now sholdering it on the midfielders. The midfielders are now to blame for issues with our attack and defense. The fact that you even think our defense is average makes all the case.

"No one ever lost a football game for not conceding"
Thank you.
I feel in recent years, teams have improved a lot and our attack may just be good on paper but average and behind the Leicester,Wolves and Spurs.
Why we asked the forward to create and bury chances is because of PAL and the hype around them.
You rightly said we lack quality in almost every department and not just the defense.

Forgive me but are you guys even reading and understanding what you are arguing?

Let me argue from the stand point that we are not playing to win the league, our focus is the top 4, so who are our competitors for top 4?

Leceister, Wolves, Tottenhan, Manchester United, Chelsea and Sheffield, right?

Well, tell me what you see from the attached screen! I don't have time for epistles!!!

The first one is data for goals conceded this season (2019/2020), the 2nd is the number of goals we scored last season.

Don't worry I know why I am using 2 different seasons for 2 different records. Na for here I go catch una!
The season we scored well, we were close to 4th.
Yes, we might have conceded lots, but per game I'm sure highest we concede is 2. How often do our so World class forward score 2+ in a game or even create good goal scoring chances per game.

N.B, Ability to kill games off or dominate possession after 1/2 goals up plays huge role.

Our point is, the defence isn't worst as painted, it is average enough to make top4 if the midfield and attack is very good.
