I don't disagree with what you are saying in principle but I think you are backing the wrong horse
We don't know if he is the right horse, becuase it's his first season, which has been wrought with injuries, suspensions and disruption and he is not even halfway to having the squad he needs to compete in this league.
 
Was that way when he won the treble up the road.

The problem is he thinks he can just plop the model down anywhere in the world and it will continue to cook.

He's now, hopefully, beginning to understand that the prem will need high quality ingredients for it to be palatable, at all.

It's his first season; we'll likely finish 5th (everyone would have taken that at the beginning of the season); fans have got their 'entertaining football' back they screamed for, after Jose and Conte; so, everyone just give the man that first season scope to make his mistakes and then begin to lay down the hammer if we start next season the same,

Go back and look at the football and results Arteta got, his first few seasons.

Shocking.

Now look where he is, after fans gave him time to get his head around things.

NO ONE WINS FROM SACKING ANGE OTHER THAN BALDCUNT.

His model will work at Celtic there's no competition.

Spurs need to concentrate on buying a squad. With or without Ange

One injury to Udogie and Davies comes in and we lose. Everybody knew that before the game. And its been happening for best part of 10 years.
 
Like many of us had suspicions in the back of our minds, even when he first joined

The mans a fraud. Back to the J league please.
He's not really a fraud, he shouldn't have been given the job in the first place. He'd been doing his thing in very, very inferior leagues for 20 years and then suddenly gets a massive job in the most competitive league in the world. The fraud is Levy.

We'll go down if this guy is backed.
The players won't carry on doing this week after week.

Don't convince yourself some miracle comeback is on here either btw.

No.

Not having it.

Injury problems held off after January. Been shit in wins and losses ever since.
 
He is out of his depth, no plan B. Look at Woolwich. Top of the league, knew they were coming to us, adjusted the way they normally play and they’re 3-0 up at half time.

You need to adapt. He said his teams only play one way. You’re now playing in the best league in the world, with top managers paid millions to figure you out.

2020–: Arteta era​

On 20 December 2019, Woolwich appointed former club captain Mikel Arteta as the new head coach. Woolwich finished the league season in eighth, their lowest finish since 1994–95, but beat Chelsea 2–1 to earn a record-extending 14th FA Cup win.[99] After the season, Arteta's title was changed from head coach to manager.[100] On 18 April 2021, Woolwich were announced as a founding club of the breakaway European competition The Super League;[101] they withdrew from the competition two days later amid near-universal condemnation.[102] Woolwich finished the 2020–21 season in eighth place once again, not qualifying for a European competition for the first time in 26 years.

It took Arteta time to work it all out and design the squad for his requirements.

Thought there was always a clamour for him to be sacked, the fans, ultimately, gave him that time and now are being rewarded with consistent, quality performances.

We don't fucking care what fucking arfuckingteta did.
 
Hes had a full squad most of this year. Results have been bad, yet hes not interested in results
Too simplistic.

He's had a decent first 11 that started well, then got shattered with injury and then came back in drips and drabs and we lost our momentum and flow and it hasn't come back, since.

Again, he's only half way irt having his squad, tailored for his game.

He's still having to learn what players can cope with it.

If Mick McCarthy was managing us and we finished 8th would you use that argument?

We look fucking horrific.

Decentish first 10 before the system was exposed and teams figured out what to do.

I can't remember the last time I wasn't bored in a match.

7 goals conceded in two games is demoralising, the players won't keep up believing in this shit.
The team has been poor since, the start of the year, performance levels have dropped off and, goals have been easily conceded it's a mess again.

We lost 4 nil away to a depleated Newcastle side. The only time we played well was away to villa.

Lost at home to wolves, lost 4 nil to fulham. Barely got past Luton. Its been awful.
 
Who will Ange blame today?

Will he take ownership and say his tactics are shit?

Or will he throw his players under the bus again. Or say hes only interested in our 70% posession so we deserved to win? Or maybe he doesnt care about finishing 4th, cos he wants to win the league.

deluded bloke
