The more time he’s given, the more mediocre players we’ll have. Either by handing out ludicrous contracts to dead wood or his handling of the good players we do have.

This is pretty spot on.

League is very weak
One thing that has surprised me is the defeatist attitude in our fan base. “Our season starts after Chelsea and City” etc. What sort of attitude is that?
Wasn’t like this under Wenger and Emery. We had lesser teams or injuries then too but we still expected our manager or team to give it a go and show something.
Now it seems like you can’t expect anything from poor Arteta unless he has great players in every position, a fully fit squad, all the players on form etc.

His football is the worst I've ever seen we are so easy to play against. People think Norwich will be easy. I'm telling you they gave Leicester a game yesterday. Wouldn't be surprised to drop more points there.
I mean City away you expect to get beat, but Chelsea at home should never be “oh that’s a loss”. Brentford away should be an expected win. Our worst case scenario after these three games should’ve been 4 points and a goal difference of 0.
Especially regarding the Chelsea game. Under Wenger and even Emery, you'd always fancy us at home, no matter who we played.

Actually... "our season starts after City and Chelsea" ...was said straight after Emery took us over, funnily enough...as he had them as his first 2 games here.

City away I normally agree, but they had a weaker side than normal, they played in 2nd gear etc, we just made it too easy. If you’re going to lose, at least show something and lose.
Losses like yesterday are the worst, you show nothing and City play like it’s a training match.
True, but we put up a proper fight away at Chelsea that year. Really should have got something from that game, we missed a load of sitters.

Has he not been sacked yet ffs
Yeah with the players we have in attack you’d at least expect 1 shot in target. We’ve had 7 shots in target in 3 games. You’ve got no chance of scoring with so few attempts on goal. Arteta’s football is literally the worst. It only works against a reserve side from the Championship.

I wanted Arteta here after Wenger and then after Emery, so this is something I just have to take as a major L. Getting messages from mates saying “this is your Arteta”.

Tbh it's been like that since Arsène days, we always go to games like City and Bayern knowing we're going to lose. We're just not those guys, we can only beat big teams if they sh*t the bed themselves i.e. Chelsea last season when Jorginho gave us a goal.

Even City wasn't that bad, bar Cech nearly scoring an own goal, when our glorious "playing it out from the back" era started.
I want to know what Arteta said, to get so much money this year?
The board never backed Emery or even Arsène really, but do for Mikel, who has nothing on them in terms of experience or evidence of what he can do...the FA Cup win was great, but he hasn't proved anything in the league yet, and that's how you should be judged.
Very weird situation we are in this season...the board have to give him time now after the money they gave him, when it's clear he is done here and should be replaced as manager as fast as possible...only at Arsenal

Can't believe you bought into that you know, thought you had a better football brain than that. I could see from when his name was mentioned that it would be a disaster, why would someone who's never been a manager be good for us?

I agree! Sp**s beat City without their main striker, yet for Arsenal its a forgone conclusion that we lose
No wonder we play like we have no confidence. Sure Arteta is a poor manager and Kola shouldn't have been playing but many of the players are letting us down, its not all down to Arteta. Holding was the only defender who did himself any justice yesterday.

At least under a declining Wenger you still knew we would attack, or woukf keep the ball and make things happen. Now I don’t know what we do, other than just accept defeat straight away.

Off of my purse !
I'm dumbfounded how Mari is deemed good enough for Arsenal, but Saliba is not.
Guendozi isn't perfect, but always gave 100% on the pitch and actually looked like he gave a ****. He is marginalised from the squad and his spot given to Elneny.
We need to get rid of Arteta before he does anymore damage.

More than pretty spot on, it is a indisputable fact. We labor like mad to score our goals while conceding them so so easily. The two first goals yesterday were not brilliant City play it was us screwing up on defense.

I think the owners saw how rapidly we were declining and made the decision to back Arteta, they would have had to do it regardless of who our manager is. Once they realise investing in a manager as poor as Arteta is pointless, they will get someone else in. His clock is ticking, just a case of if he lasts the season or not.
