Bold prediction here but Arsenal are winning nothing with Arteta. The Pochettino of the Pyrenees, the Basque bottler.

Brother is an Arsenal fan and I know plenty of gooners. Sorry to say guys but the team has no killers. They were sorely missing Saka but even so, nobody wants to take responsibility to put the ball in the back of the net

As a Liverpool fan, I'm well placed to recognise a title-challenging team that won't ultimately win the title. And this is one, imo. Reckon they've got as close as they'll get under him. Touches of Rafa about him albeit in a diff era.

Yep, see also Keenan’s Newcastle, Poch’s Spurs

Maybe I'm wrong but I would say a gradual decline and a bad start to either next season or more likely season after next, and he'll be gone.

Yup. He strikes me as a fairly inflexible sort of guy and this has brought him to this level but this inflexibility I think will prevent him from making the proper course correction when things do go bad

Plus the AFTV element among the fandom that hounded Wenger out has already started on him

The fact that Aubameyang is in the picture with him is a clue as to how much that win represented Arteta’s vision for Arsenal!

No idea what that means but ok!

What I mean is that the FA cup winning team was built by Emery and Arteta binned off most of those guys pretty quickly. The factors that hold Arsenal back are his overly cautious approach and distrust of actual goalscorers.

It took him a while to develop his template and style after the FA cup win and while it brought more consistency and higher league finishes I think there’s this poch style inability to get over the line in 1st place

Aubameyang was never gonna hang around. Born mercenary. Time shall tell. I’ll take this over say….15th.

Very bold prediction!

Fortune favours the brave! Of course maybe there’s some 4D chess here trying to reverse jinx them into stopping Liverpool reach 20 though I can’t see it

This is 6D chess - making a prediction against something that has already happened.
