EC10 posted:except wenger's teams actually always outclassed their non-top 4 opponents. arteta absolutely does not Uhh, there were years where draws and losses to lovely low and mid table sides meant the difference in league standings for Arsene's teams. Parking the bus and "getting stuck in," used to be a formula to get a draw or even a rare win against some of Arsene's teams for Bolton, Blackburn, and the like. Arsenal since the move to the Emirates has never consistently outclassed anyone.

Arsenal since the move to the Emirates has never consistently outclassed anyone. Every team screws up a bit. Arsenal aren't the only aspirational side to buckle against highly physical sides. For a while, though, I thought Wenger's Arsenal were much better about putting away lower-ranked clubs than, say, Benitez-era Liverpool.

I don't disagree that teams have slips, but look at the 06-07 season for Arsenal. Did well against the top 4. Beat United home and away, trading wins with Liverpool, and draws against Chelsea. Then you look who they lost to and it's West Ham twice, Fulham, Sheffield, City when they were poo poo and loads of dropped points from draws. That's some of the years I remember, where all pundits would talk about was Arsenal having no Plan B and any organized squad could get a result if they could soak pressure.

UHHHHH except that was a popular narrative that was not backed up at all by actual results. big sam had a horrible record against wenger

I don't know, man. Look at my earlier post about the 06-07 season, then look at the following season where the team was cruising at first until they drew with Birmingham, Aston Villa (when they were decent), Wigan, and Middlesbrough. Dropped as many points to a relegated team as they did to Liverpool that year. Or 08-09? Take a look at the results that year and tell me again that the narrative that parking the bud didn't work against Arsene.

It's not about winning every game, it's who they lost to. Arsenal did well against top 4 teams in those years. I showed the results. Any team that walked out onto the field and thought they could play an open game against Wenger was asking for a loss. But a team that just wanted to defend, even if they were fighting to get out of relegation, could get a point off Arsenal. That's how it was before the early 2010s.

I think that was inevitable sooner or later, as coaching staff he's not likely to be kept on through two new managers, and there are likely opportunities out there for him Would be nice if he can piggyback the last few games into a management role somewhere, he seems to have been well regarded by the players

I miss Wenger's long, whiny press conferences about how teams were unwilling to take the Washington Generals role and instead actually defended competently against them.

bewbies posted:everton was dire yesterday. I don't know why, but it was bad. normally they're a tough opponent for liverpool no matter who is playing or managing. we should have ran them over last year but whoever the official was that day allowed insane kung fu moves for no reason and half the team got destroyed. i was especially happy yesterday when the left foot brigade got a bit of revenge. they even boo'd vvd for having the audacity to get injured lol

He bought them some bad players too but this Steve Walsh quote is still funny: "While I was at Everton, I offered them Andrew Robertson and Harry Maguire deals, when they were at Hull, and it was worth £20 million for the pair. Everton wouldn't take them. "I had a deal done for Jonny Evans too before he came to Leicester, but again they wouldn't take him. "Erling Haaland, the striker with Salzburg, I had him and his dad at the club with a deal done for €4 million. The club wouldn't back me."
