‘Will cost us’: Piers Morgan slams Mikel Arteta for ‘inexplicable’ mistake
Well-known Gooner Piers Morgan has hit out at Mikel Arteta over his decision-making in the transfer market.
The Gunners came into this season on the back of consecutive second place finishes in the Premier League, agonizingly missing out on the title to Manchester City.
Even though Pep Guardiola’s side have suffered a surprising dip in form this season, it is Liverpool instead of Arsenal who have been sitting at the top of the table against all pre-season expectations.
On Saturday evening, the Gunners suffered another set-back as a passive display saw them settle for a draw away at Brighton, despite leading for much of the game.
The result has been met with much frustration from the Arsenal faithful, one of which is Piers Morgan, who has lashed out at Mikel Arteta.
For Morgan, the Gunners boss will have to do a better job of spending on what Arsenal needs in the transfer market if the club is to mount a serious challenge for major silverware.
“Poor result, poor performance. Lacked
creativity, looked tired, and Arteta’s inexplicable refusal to buy a world class striker will cost us any chance of the League title if we keep playing
like this. Get your chequebook out @m8arteta !” Morgan wrote on social media
You cannot blame Arteta for the referee being a complete f****** idiot though
You can blame Arteta for a dismal performance yet AGAIN. Crab like football AGAIN. Back line dithering endlessly AGAIN. No creativity AGAIN.
Arteta did well over hauling the squad but his tactics are sleep inducing and he has taken us as far as he can
i agree we had over 30 mins to score a winning goal but we kept running like a headless chicken. Without partey in midfield we done.
It’s our manager that cost us at times by trying to experiment something new at an evil time. I mean playing partey out wide at the back, getting Jorginho who is in evening years into the middle of too speedy opponent, making D. Rice to play as 10 instead of Martin8. Too slow Central midfielders in the middle of the park in Jorginho and Merino. It was hard work from the players to even secure a mark.
Arteta stuck with Eddie he is now a bench warmer at Palace and he will stick with Jesus now he has scored for the first time in FORTY THREE games,Mikel gets so much right but misguided loyalty might be his downfall ?
Mike is good tactical manager but his decisions are penny most times
We need a striker if we are to compete with the likes of Liverpool and man city.
I believe a lot of the criticism against Arteta we have four extraordinary decisions against us that have cost us four points. Why are they extraordinary? No other teams have been penalized for similar incidents the 3 red cards and the penalty. Arsenal have the best defensive record in the league inspite of never having the same back four! Injuries have made team selection more difficult, we have a better squad, but the need players are taking time to settle in. We have the same points as game 20 last season and are still in the League Cup, last season we were already out.
We have played well in the Champions League only losing one game on a disputed penalty, Milan celebrated as if they won the trophy!
With regard to buying a centre forward, possibly this should have been a priority, however with the injuries in defense, it has been a shrewd move having good defensive cover. With the current self sustainability rules, it is questionable we have the bandwidth to make a massive signing in the January transfer window?
Fair point mate. Also, what would you consider as a “success” from this season? One trophy? If so, which trophy?
I actually would take any trophy, definitely Arteta has pressure from some supporters. I believe the Premier League and the Champions League( which we have never won) would be really a fantastic achievement. The difficulties already mentioned, make the Premier League tough, we are relying on Liverpool to drop points. Arsenal for the last three seasons, a great watch and a formidable team COYG
We need a world class striker
Actually if we can get Isaak of new castle
But Ateta should also stop his kidish experiments more so in critical games as you can see him playing party at the right back even last season it costed us three points yet the trophy was taken by a difference of two points
