Sorry I don't rate Arteta and never have , but if you want to keep defending him because he is securing top 4 and that's it then go ahead
As for injuries derailing your season, you can only really say Saka is out and is affecting the team because Havertz, Martenelli and Jesus's do nothing when they are fit, they are that bad and that is about 115 million Atteta wasted on buying them all
And our season got derailed last season not because of injuries it was because of the loss and the way we lost to Man U in the Fa Cup
Wenger was in charge when Gab Martinelli joined Arsenal.
Top-4 is becoming increasingly important, what with PSR seemingly going nowhere. It’s a priority for clubs like Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, City, and previously United. Just look how fukked their finances are without CL football.
This is Arteta’s first managerial job, and he has lots yet to learn, but he has taken Arsenal back to the top places in the PL, restored some respectability, reshaped the first team squad, and helped develop some promising young players into first team stalwarts, and even internationals in some cases.
He will need to start winning things regularly at some point in the next few seasons, but I can’t understand how anyone suggests he’s not at least a good manager. I think a lot of grief in his direction comes from that damn TV series & the fact that he gets so involved from the touchline.
I would hope he stays at the club for a lot longer yet.
