The Nigerian head coach publicly accused Osimhen of having no commitment to his country, Osimhen responded, and many now call him a difficult player with an attitude. Meanwhile, Alvarez is betraying the most basic thing: his contract. But fans go on and on about the right fit.
Imagine if Osimhen had done what Alvarez was doing. One for some reason has the 'bad attitude' tag for absolutely nothing whilst the other is being held hostage and is a victim.

There's nothing wrong with leaving Martinelli out of the squad by itself, but Arteta should've directly told him that he won't play & is not part of his plans. No excuses. Martinelli's been here since 2019 before 18. Do you know how long ago that is? He was here before COVID.

When you think about it, the club chose the “talent” of Gyokeres over the talent of Martinelli Forget positions, they’re the same essence to different degrees / layering Had to hear the last 2 years that arteta shouldn’t tweak to suit Nelli, then we ended up doing that for Gyok
default PL XI (pending transfers) should be this: Martinelli - Havertz - Saka MLS/Eze - Rice/Zubi - Ø/Nwaneri Cala/Hincapié - Gabi/Mosq - Saliba - Timber Raya rotation needs to be better, but we can also use Martinelli with MLS/Eze much better than with Rice/Gyökeres

You mentioned it once regarding Jesus in the Inter match that you were sure he would play the next game after his two goals but then Gyokeres scored at the end and you had doubts. In that home game against Nottingham Forest Arteta benched Rice because Merino scored a hat trick for his national team. I took it into account that after the general reception and MLS performance there is a big chance he starts from the begining.

Never argue with an Arteta Stan. Just wait. Just like Holding/Kiwior, Arteta waits months/years to do obvious things, and finally Rice in the 6 and Zubimendi ahead of him produces decent results.

A human is watching how PSG are ripping Bayern apart with pure rotation and fluidity in their front-3, and the only thing to pick out from this display is a winger is hugging the touchline.
Why is Kompany having Olise stuck in the sideline and putting Stanisic in the box/half space?? I thought only ultra defensive Arteta who has no idea how to attack do this!

Dk how to explain it but we're the only fanbase in the world that can blame a loss on an attacker losing his man 20 seconds before the actual goal, we've been conditioned by Arteta to expect wingers to defend like actual defenders as if that's their job
1️⃣ Odegaard pointed to Nico O'Reilly, asking him to be marked by Martinelli. 2️⃣ Martinelli ignored and left Nico O'Reilly open, leading to Arsenal conceding the winning goal. Martin Odegaard obviously very frustrated. Say whatever you want, Odegaard deserves every bit to be our captain. Outstanding vision.

Doesn’t namedrop Havertz but if it was Martinelli who missed those chances he drop his entire government name on live TV
Mikel Arteta: “When you have so many open chances like we did against them, you have to put the ball in the back of the net & get away with the three points.” ❌ 🎥 @beINSPORTS_EN

It means when the team shows red flags and have horrendous performances you come on here and you do one of the following; brush it off, make excuses for what we all saw or change the narrative by reminding the fanbase how bad the Wenger (latter) and Emery years were.

Arteta could never make a O Reilly Guehi Khusanov Nunes back 4 compete. With a Rodri without legs in front? Forget about it, the season would be a write off.

Funny thing is arteta haters actually are more forgiven for those 2 seasons (esp 22-23) esp given squad quality. These past two seasons have been a disgrace in coaching performance like D-
My biggest Issue with Arteta haters is how much they despise context when it comes to Arteta while applying context to everybody else They say that Inzaghi getting to two UCL finals and losing makes him better than Teta, but getting 89 and 84 points and coming 2nd is a bad thing

Arsenal fans pointed out Slot’s football wasn’t sustainable for long term success but the same being pointed out for Arteta is somehow being ungrateful loool
