Mikel Arteta

[polish]

First goal they conceded under him was due to to play out from the back which they made a total mess of.

Guardiola wannabe.

Gutted for him, nice guy but he has made a blunder going there

 

[Archie Knox]

Have to say he doesn't look very inspiring on the sidelines... very Silva-like.

Arteta win rate: 0%
Ancelotti win rate: 100%

still life in the old has been yet!

Won't last a full season.

Dodged a right bullet there.

Well done Everton.

Underlines again why you should never appoint a cone layer.

Plus the CL match he lost for City.

Early days, of course, but the rational thing to do for any club is to see what these ex-players/coaches are like actually managing a team for an extended period.

He'll sort them out. Nothing he can do about that woeful goalkeeper

The comparison with The Don and Arteta is bound to come thick and fast now.

Arsenal could have had Ancelotti and an almost certain rebalancing of their club and a CL place challenging team this season.

The inquests will already be on the agenda for the Arsenal boardroom decision.

I don't get this 'playing out from the back' every time, it just invites pressure. Surely the idea is to mix it up with long balls to spread the game and make the spaces to then exploit with the Passy Passy stuff.

not so sure that they could have had him if they weren't willing to let him spend, I'm guessing that that is why he came to us, he sees more potential in the team than they are currently showing and he will be given decent money to spend
