The debate surrounding this Arsenal team always seems to circle back to one question: is the manager to blame? The “Arteta Out” crowd will point fingers directly at him, while others focus on the players – missed chances, sloppy defending, and poor decision-making. But at the end of the day, one thing remains certain: the problems are still not solved.

This team is just so frustrating, man. I don’t even know where to start. They panic under pressure, overcomplicate simple plays, and make ridiculously poor decisions in the final third. Honestly, I’ve lost confidence in this team – particularly the attacking players. Outside of Bukayo Saka, the rest need to be replaced.

Let’s be real: Arsenal doesn’t necessarily play bad football. In fact, we’re a well-drilled team, and for that, credit must go to Arteta. The tactics are fine, the style of play is fine. But some of these players just aren’t cut out to be here, and their inability to make better decisions in critical moments is why we continue to struggle. These are panic-mode players, and they’re costing us.

So, what’s the solution? There has to be both a short-term and a long-term plan to fix this.

Short-Term Solution
This January, the club needs to go out and sign a top-quality, world-class forward. Someone who isn’t afraid to put the ball in the net. We need a player of that caliber to support Saka and carry some of the attacking burden. This move is non-negotiable if we want to salvage this season.

Long-Term Solution
The entire front line needs a revamp. We need better attacking players – period. Martinelli’s time might be up, and Trossard, Jesus, Havertz, and Sterling aren’t the answers either. If the Kroenkes are serious about this project, they need to spend big. Otherwise, all of this work – the progress we’ve made under Arteta – will ultimately lead to nothing.

At the end of the day, we’re not far off from being a great team, but we’ll never reach that level without addressing these glaring issues. It’s time for the owners to step up, back the manager, and bring in the players we need to truly compete at the highest level. Otherwise, this project is destined to fail.
