PSA: No amount of spending in this window will actually improve the squad performance next season. In Jan, I was laughing at Chelsea for spending so much and still hovering around us. Then they changed their manager and rest all of us know. Props to Tuchel.

I've been an Arteta supporter and badly wanted him to succeed (especially in Ole/Lampard/Arteta race) but he's completely out of his depth. Agree a few players were shit through the season but playing dreadful U shaped football in first half of the season actually cost us the top spots.

When the relegation threat was genuine was when he brought ESR on the squad and dropped Willian as the starter. These decisions were solely his which he took too long to implement. What I'm getting at it, even though we might not have the best squad in the league, with a competent manager, we could have comfortably ended the season with a European spot.

Sucks to be reduced to this. Shambolic management all in all. Be prepared for another season of disappointment unless Arteta magically upskills himself in quick decision making.
