Old Man Andrews URZZZZ Old Man Andrews The massively overrated Mikel Arteta being found out at Arsenal. Just because he is Pep's mate it doesn't make him a good manager.
Bet he regrets freezing out Ozil now
Not sure thats the biggest issue. The bloke can't play a settled team, players can't build confidence and settle. Must be awful for a player, especially the younger ones.
I think he’s someone that will require a bit of a time and patience and in his defence, he won more trophies in half a season than Poch did at Spurs in nearly 6 years, and there’s plenty that laud Pochettino
But I think I get where people are coming from with the criticism of him though. To keep playing Aubameyang on the left is unforgivable, especially when it’s only to accommodate Lacazette who I’ve never particularly rated
And there’s a distinct lack of creativity in midfield. We won’t see eye to eye on this but they desperately miss a player like Ozil, someone to break the lines. Willian is OK at doing this but OK isn’t good enough for a team where Arsenal want to be
Ceballos? Don’t rate at all
Xhaka and Elneny? Again, they’re both OK players who have their use but think Arsenal need more there
Partey is a decent player but won’t solve the lack of creativity problem
