Arsenal’s players exchanged angry words with each other in a clear-the-air meeting on Tuesday after manager Mikel Arteta called the squad together to identify reasons behind their poor start to the season. [

He predicted they would miss out on top 4 from the season in that clip and they did, he predicted they would miss out on the title the season after and they did. He even backed them to win it last season and they failed, yet their fans still get angry at him as if it’s his fault
Michael Oliver once gave this double yellow in the same phase of play to Martinelli in 2022, like Arteta said on that day you have to be very willing to do that
Giroud joined Arsenal in 2012 and left in 2018 with a grand total of 73 PL goals after playing with Prime Özil/Cazorla etc whilst Aubameyang who joined in 2018 has 65 PL goals (only EIGHT off Giroud in HALF the time) with Mkhitaryan/Iwobi/ESR as his main creators in that time...
•Won ONE league title in France
•Warmed bench at Arsenal
•Bottled the PL 15/16 with PRIME Ö
•Dropped a 0/10 vs Monaco 14/15
•Now warming bench at Chelsea
Have a feeling this season was Arsenal’s best chance of winning the title under Arteta. There’s a cap on what you can achieve trying to beat Pep at his own brand of football and the WM has largely been found out now by the likes of Emery and even continental coaches like CA + TT.
