Thanks man. That's a shame. Would've been interesting to hear their thoughts and opinions.
I thought he did tremendous when he came in and was able to get all he could out of the players we have. However, since the start of the current season I've found myself confused as to what he's trying to achieve. I believe he has a clear idea of how he wants this team to play, but unfortunately he doesn't have the players to be able to do that.
Currently we seems to be a right mess. We have no creativity, no flair, and are currently employing the same sort of 'park the bus' tactics that say Jose would employ and that our fan base chastise him for all the time, and the reason they say why they wouldn't want him as the Arsenal manager. And rather than adapt and play a system that would get the best out of the players we do have, Arteta seems to be trying to fit in said players into the system he ultimately wants and it isn't working. Square pegs into round holes.
I also think we have more problems going on upstairs, with many pulling in differing directions rather than altogether in the same. Add to that the dodgy shenanigans concerning Sanllehi's departure and the seemingly growing influence of Kia Joorabchian and his clients, things aren't looking too good from where I'm standing.
We also don't have the financial ability in the transfer market of say United, Chelsea and City, and have to sell before we can buy for the most part, but unfortunately nobody wants any of our players as they haven't exactly painted themselves in glory the last few years.
I'm willing to give Arteta time, as for example with Liverpool, it took Klopp 4-5 years to get them to where they are, but I feel if we don't buck up and start getting things sorted we are going to be left behind in the dust. Liverpool and City are both obviously way ahead of us, Chelsea, Tottenham and Leicester are ahead of us, and if United sort themselves out they will be ahead of us too.
