There is so much to say about Xhaka...

Let me start by saying this, he HAS the ability to be amazing and he's a born leader.
Unfortunatly he lacks concentration, has a fuck up pretty much every game and is known for collecting lots of dumb cards. (and let's not forget a few weeks ago he had massive trouble with us, the fans)

I think Arsenal is a step too big for him in the end and I think it's fair to part ways with him.

Arteta's first press conference, very different from someone like Emery. He's basicly saying "do it my way, or you're out". I think we've missed this ruthlessness and I hope this is a key factor in restoring the morale.

Starting off with a draw isn't bad. Hope Arteta does well; he's a nice guy and should be a good fit for Arsenal, understanding the club's culture and all.

Shame Emery didn't work out... he's a manager that rose to top club level from the lower divisions, which is a rarity these days. I respect him for that, and he has succeeded every time except for PSG and Arsenal. The guy just doesn't seem to be cut for clubs expected to be among the very best in Europe... either that, or he can't adapt to managing outside Spain. Let's see what lies ahead of him now... a third failed stint in a row would be fatal to his career.

Arteta wasn't coaching this game yet, he starts as of tomorrow.
Shame indeed for Emery, also not to forget his professionalism during the time.

Much much better performance today. Real shame about the loss but my god was that an improvement already.

Showing positive signs of a new Arsenal under Arteta.
