What are all these guys saying? So if arteta fails to win the league this season arsenal should still continue with him? Till when if I may ask?

There is a point in life you have to move one from someone, same with athletico. They have to move on from simeone
No way am I taking any of those comments seriously.

Rome wasn't built in a day.

Before Arteta you weren't as competitive as this.

It seems he is already becoming a victim of his own success with you guys.

Good coaches are scarce outside, learn to appreciate whatever Arteta is doing and also,

Don't be like Coogar who thought anyone can coach Man united and be successful after Sir Alex Ferguson is gone grin.

Today the reality has hit them nicely that most of them are even tired of supporting the club.
I am reading this as comic irony, nothing more.

If u don't lift it ds season,,u can just forget about it till Pep leaves City
At this point, even after Pep leaves, especially if Arteta continues as manager.

2 days ago, Arteta officially entered his 7th season and it is disgraceful that we are still speaking about winning the league/ UCL at this point.

Even if we win something tangible this season, what is the opportunity cost of time and money spent to whatever we win in year 7?

Baba, local man is weak.

If we don’t lift the league this season, it won’t be because of Villa, it would be because of our Bottler in Chief (BIC). It won’t surprise me truthfully, na Deja Vu all over again.

Yoro was the major reason we lost this game. He is young and inexperienced, but the same player should not score on you twice with the same move.

Ooof. That's got to hurt. Roland. How did your Packers blow that game away.

Jeez man can we even trust y'all to do a job on those abominable Ratbirds next week?
You have no idea how upset I went to bed last night. I mean, we did everything to hand them the game. From fumbling the onside kick to the disgraceful TOs in OT. I was still confident even after Love went down. Some really bad play calls and game management by Matt.

We are so defensive we have forgotten how to create chances, Odegaard went from midfield maestro to midfield recycling
I am beginning to accept Odegaard has finally lost it. He has become pitiful to watch for me. His plays have become predictable, boring and lacks incisiveness. This has been brewing since last season but we continued to pray but e be like say that Odegaard isn’t coming back.

I concur with your observation. Zubi is basicallly playing football. He needs to add some danger in his game.

Last season Rice used to invert into the LAM position where he is a threat, but that role has been given to Calafiori instead. I think it makes us tactically weaker. For example, being left footed Calafiori cannot shoot easily from that position outside the box. I'd prefer he inverts into DM rather than LAM.
Exactly!

Thank you for adding the Calafiori angle. Whenever Calafiori starts, he starts inverting from the opponents half of the LAM, before finding his way into the edge, which means Rice remains behind to provide that cover.

In contrast, MLS inverts from the DM/DLP position. He is able to progress possession with the ball. It alap provides cover for Zubi so that Rice can go forward. All of these adjustments are to accommodate Zubi and ensure Rice isn’t straying too far from Zubi’s press/ possession triangle.

He really needs to let loose and help our offense move faster. This season, the few times Rice has gone forward, he is racing back as fast as he can to keep the shape with Zubi. We all know how lethal Rice is around the danger zones. Coming into this season, we all agreed he needs to be around those zones more. With Zubi and Rice sitting back, our ball progression stagnates.

Infact there have been moments where I have seen Odegaard come back to start possession with Zubi and Rice also staying deep. How the hell are we supposed to move the ball then? I understand this is difficult for Arteta and that is why I am blaming Zubi because he is making the tactics difficult for Arteta to execute.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Arsenal Fans Thread: The Red & White Army: 2025/2026 EPL Champions! by Roland17(m): 1:58am On Dec 21, 2025
Zubimendi needs to do more for this team. He has been playing basic football for a while now. He doesn’t do enough with progressing the ball from the back despite numerous instances where he receives the ball first from the goalkeeper. Even when we progress and he receives the ball, he looks to pass back or sideways. When he receives the ball, Rice is still sitting deep.

Defensively, I am seeing Rice sitting back quite a bit more than usual to support Zubi. I rarely see him in dangerous areas like we are used to and that is because we are exposed if Rice isn’t around the same press area as Zubi. Rice doesn’t press ahead of Zubi because if he gets beat, we are toast. Tactically, Arteta is having to employ zonal marking more than we should because it keeps Rice around the same Triangle as Zubi.

We need more from Zubi to help out overall play.

Zubi needs to help us more with progressing the ball from deep.

Trossard hits the post. That did not need a heavy shot. The angle was already set, he just needed to guide the ball.

I really blacked that game out of my head

We were hanging on for the last 20 minutes of regulation time plus the entirety of extra time.
Baba I will never forget that game in a very long time. I still think about that performance and how much the ref tried to send those idiots to the US. angry

Newcastle under E. Howe have improved but they struggle to keep leads and are susceptible to conceding late goals.

The executive order rebrands the U.S. Digital Service (USDS), originally created in 2014 under President Obama, as the U.S. DOGE Service (USDS). This renaming reflects the broader ambitions of the new administration to make government operations

Stop trying to be half smart. Our positions are clear. Is DOGE an act of congress or an executive order?
