When I watch Sesko under Carrick, Arteta needs to be apologized to. It's now clear why he preferred Sesko. He's the ball handling striker, also a beast in the air, that Arteta needed. Sometimes let's say the truth and give Arteta his flowers.
Erm, but may I ask Arteta why he didn't recall Nwaneri? De Zerbi's expertise is a key reason why you let Nwaneri go, so take back Nwaneri or get him a loan move to another club that plays the De Zerbi way.[ There are good options]
But no you didn't. You are saying that Nwaneri should adapt, that the pressure of a new coach and new style will help to cook him.
What is good for the goose is good for the gander then.
If Nwaneri should adapt, you too Arteta should adapt to Gyokeres. I take back my aplogies actually. No excuses, this is football. Adapt to Gyokeres and any emergency and win the league.
Furthermore, quite sensibly, Berta is being questioned:
"There's growing concern from the outside about what's going on at Arsenal, especially when it comes to how Andrea Berta and Mikel Arteta are working together.
A lot of analysts are pointing out that signings like Christian Nørgaard and Cristhian Mosquera haven't really lifted the starting XI. The team doesn't look stronger, and compared to rivals pushing forward, Arsenal seem a bit stuck.
The bigger issue people are talking about is the disconnect between recruitment and tactics. It really stood out when Viktor Gyökeres—a major signing—was benched in a huge game against Manchester City. From the outside, that just doesn't make sense unless the manager doesn't fully trust or need that profile.
So the concern isn't just about form—it's whether the club is actually building a squad that fits what the manager wants. If that's not aligned, it can ruin everything."
I would still maintain, leave Berta alone.
When a coach is behaving like he is confused, what do you do?
A coach right from Day 1 that inexplicably doesn't trust his squad depth. I remember when I would say El neny is on the bench, Jorginho doesn't need to play such hefty number of minutes.
The writer talked of Mosquera. But you could have kept Kiwior happy with more minutes, same with Nwaneri. A Mitoma could have been bought since. You bought Havertz to play in midfield, throwing away winnable matches in the process.
Berta will remember the match against Aston Villa towards the end of last season, where Harvetz played in midfield and that gave Villa a victory that ended Arsenal's dream of 1st position.
So when a coach is not maximizing his own system, let a Director come in like a rampaging bull and show him some direction.
Please let everyone leave Berta alone.
Arteta this is football, adapt to Gyokeres and any other signing( just as you expect Nwaneri to adapt) and get me the league trophy.
whispers: this is actually where Arteta comes alive
