firstly hope everyone is safe and well with the second wave going on.

in all honesty guys, how long can you's see arteta lasting?
i am not in anyway saying i want him to fail because there is nothing i want more than for him to succeed, same as i wanted wenger to succeed and emery to.
but if we perform more like we did against villa in games compared to how we did against man u then questions will be asked of him (and should be to) that's just how football is these days.

i know it's early and hope i am wrong but i think the next 3 games are really crucial and could decide artetas fate already.
especially if just say we drew with leeds then lost to wolves and spurs.

stay safe

mark.

Not that long if it keeps up the way it's going its boring football for me.

I'm not really worried about Arteta performing in the tough away games, as far as I'm concerned those are bonus points. I'm worried about him putting away the teams we should be beating. Our squad is absurdly expensive and we should be comfortably creating 10-15 shots on goal against the teams like Villa or West Ham at home.

I don't think we are able to call this underperforming yet so I think it would be wise to hold off until we've played all 19 other teams at least once or things get as desperate as they did under Emery before we say he isn't the right man for the job.

I imagine he will be replaced in the summer.

Still a long season to go.

If he addresses his short comings then another season is ok but I think we need to pause and review in April / May to decide and act

Hopefully he sorts his issues out as I do like Mikel but do t like his rigid mindset and playing style

I rather concede a couple more goals to improve going forward but I’m hoping it’s a journey to get balance like most things.
