The Arsenal doc is out and Arteta comes off as cringey, but it might work with a bunch of dumb rear end professional athletes. Also not sure how he can keep up these inspirational team talks for years if they are working.

I rate Arteta and I think some of the clips I've seen have been blown way out of proportion, but this is exactly the kind of stuff Liverpool fans were saying about Brendan Rodgers after Being Liverpool came out.

Rodgers is an incredibly cringey person, but also I made this post in the first half of the episodes that were released and Arteta calms down a bit as he goes on.

Arteta can do whatever dumb poo poo he wants as long as Arsenal continue to improve. He's learning on the job for better of worse, If this season ends up a flop (Like I want 4th but I think 5th again would still be a good achievement considering the opposition) then we can start calling him a fraud like his bald mentor.

I think being a lock to start and operating more centrally with more license to be selfish, he'll do well. He's going to be the focal point of the attack in a way he'd never be under Pep. I think he'll put up better numbers this year than he has.

pep wanted jesus to play centrally, but jesus demanded to be played out wide because he reckons he'll get more game time for brazil that way

he'll do it to arteta, too

He doesn’t need to be a messiah. He needs to be better than 2 non-penalty goals in 30 games Lacazette. Lacazette could barely move, and basically shut down after the 60th minute. Jesus makes runs and presses, and can interchange with wide players. All of these little things that sound like nothing much are a massive improvement from what the team dealt with last year. Laca would routinely end up with 0-1 shots in games where we ended up the clear winners.

Yep, agreed. Jesus will play better as the focal point, but also he just needs to be better than a cone with a #9 jersey draped on him. Laca might have been good in the locker room but he didn’t have the legs to drop into midfield and also finish a move.

the rational part of my brain says that Arsenal told them that they couldn't broadcast actual tactical discussions as a trade secret, and so instead we've got a lot of BEAR MENTALITY, WOLF HEART, FIGHT AND WIN stuff

the part of my brain that's normally right about stuff says that being a football manager is the easiest job in the world and you just point at a picture of your favourite animal and kick shoes at people if they have a different favourite animal

It unironically does seem that they are doing this. They don’t show anything substantive that Arteta says to the team during the week. When he does talk tactics, it’s very basic stuff (play compact, play with a high line, focus on dispossessing, etc) and he seems to reference things he said during the week, so I suspect it’s intentional to some degree.

Lol they aren’t going to show anything substantive, this never happens on the American “Hard Knocks” show which makes everyone think all us football coaches are platitude speaking morons (true to a degree but the level of analytical and tactical work done and coached into players is off the charts)
