Yeah, I don’t understand what about a clear trip is 50/50, going for the ball or not.

Here comes our secret weapon, backup left back stuck in a left winger body.

Hopefully nothing bad for Tierney there. Him missing time is just about the last thing they need right now.

It could make Arteta come up with a new tactical approach than the Emery special of give it to the left back when he overlaps and when it doesn’t work…do it again.

Arteta doesn’t have any other tactical ideas.

Re: 2021-2022 English Football Thread

Arteta doesn’t have any other tactical ideas.

What's frustrating is that he seems to be growing in stubbornness. Let's not forget, he won an FA Cup using an entirely different system. There was some fortune involved, but he came in and improved the defense and implemented good and not as predictable/harder to stop due to the speed of execution attacking patterns.

But now...well, yeah. It's incredibly easy to play against Arsenal right now because you know what they're going to do, and it's easy to stop due to several factors—such as players and tempo.

Even if it's close, Man City will cut through the side on Saturday and then we'll have an international break where the ownership will publicly back him and the project and urge patience. Yay.

City won’t tune you up because Pep pretty blatantly has his team take the foot off the gas after a goal or two up vs Arteta.

Honestly can’t even say Arteta is a fraud because I don’t think anyone was “tricked” into thinking he’s a top prospect to begin with.

He’s actually the worst manager in the league by a long distance, and would probably still be the worst manager in the championship.

It’s actually insane someone as bad AND inexperienced as Arteta is being tasked with one of the most difficult and complex jobs in English football atm.

Nah, he's a fraud. After winning the FA Cup (which credit to him was a good showing) a lot of fans and pundits were on the Arteta hype. Last year fans started to turn but then Arsenal had a good run in the second half that brought fans back on his side. But now I think it's safe to say nobody believes in him anymore.

It's not that it's against Arteta, it's that it's Arsenal. For a team like City, Arsenal are finished if you're up a few goals. No point in going any harder.

I think we'd be in a much, much worse predicament if he was the worst manager out of everyone in the PL and Championship. He's not good enough for this job, though, he's shown that.

This is something I don't see enough outside of Arsenal circles, which is understandable, but it's the realization just how ****ed this squad and club are right now.

If Conte came in tomorrow, with no European football, it would be a massive achievement for him to get this squad into sixth. Into fourth would get him a damn statue due to how nearly impossible it is.

No matter the manager, this squad is years away from being taken seriously.

I can’t believe people are trying to point to Ole and say give Arteta more time lmao.

I don’t even like Ole, but it’s actually unhinged to think Arteta is on the same level.

I genuinely can’t think of a worse manager in the Prem though.

I used to think Ole was awful but credit to him he’s a good manager for what United need. He’s not great with tactics or subs but he’s good at controlling egos and keeping the “United” traditions going.

I think United has the squad to win it if they get a good year from one of their keepers but most people knock them because Ole isn’t on Tuchel’s level and most certainly not Pep & Klopps’s level. I don’t think they spend anymore $ this window unless they can move Lingard & Dalot.

But you know what… eff United. They had both of those traits in SAF for damn near 30 years.

Also, some big club needs to sign Bissouma fast. He’s really good.

Really surprised it didn’t happen this Summer—yet. If it doesn’t happen until next year, the price will only be higher, though, so not awful for Brighton.

Well…he needs to stay healthy and they need to stay up.

Yeah I feel like the fact he’s 24 scares teams away. It’s like a lot of the big clubs are FIFa Career Mode players an only look at dynamic potential
