Phase 5 Mikel Arteta

My team Arsenal are the new Stoke City 😩 Phase 6 of Arsenal under Mikel Arteta, has been a journey filled with the wrong spending, frustrating finishes, and endless promises of progress. Since taking over in 2019, Arteta has spent over £700 million on transfers, yet Arsenal fans are left wondering: where’s the success? With only one FA Cup trophy to show for it, won in the lockdown era, and no major silverware since, the "trust the process" mantra is wearing thin. From finishing 8th in back-to-back seasons (2019/20 and 2020/21) to narrowly missing Champions League football in 2021/22, Arsenal’s performances have been inconsistent. Even in the exciting 2022/23 season, where they led the Premier League table for 248 days, the campaign ended in heartbreak as the Gunners crumbled and finished 2nd, trophy-less yet again. The 2023/24 season followed with another 2nd-place finish, early cup exits, and disappointment in the Champions League quarter-finals. Now in 2024/25, Arsenal’s style of play feels uninspired, resembling Stoke City with its heavy reliance on set-pieces and long balls. Is Arteta’s "process" failing Arsenal? Can managers like Enzo Maresca or Rúben Amorim outshine Arteta in their first phase? Is this the turning point for Arsenal, or just more of the same? Let me know your thoughts in the comments!
