Arsenal seems to have a "rollercoaster" feel this season, especially when facing strong teams, the team's performance is somewhat unpredictable. Not long ago, they were eliminated by Manchester United in the penalty shootout of the FA Cup, and many fans felt disappointed after the game. This is just part of Arsenal's unsatisfactory performance this season. The team's offense and defense have declined to varying degrees, especially the offensive performance, which is obviously not as sharp as before. Speaking of Arsenal's current situation, many people attribute the problem to the tactical style of head coach Mikel Arteta. Some believe that Arteta's tactics are too rigid, especially his excessive attention to detail, making the team's games somewhat "boring." Everyone initially expected Arteta to lead Arsenal to a new future, after all, he was once an assistant at Manchester City, with a master like Pep Guardiola behind him. However, the reality is that although he led the team to win the FA Cup and also gradually improved Arsenal's ranking at the end of the Premier League season, these achievements seem not to have met the full expectations of fans and the club. From taking over as Arsenal's head coach in 2019 to now, several years have passed, and Arteta's record at Arsenal can be described as inconsistent. At first, he won the FA Cup in 2020, and fans cheered for him, feeling that Arteta had finally brought about change. However, he led the team to finish eighth in the Premier League for two consecutive seasons, which made many people doubt him. In the 2021-2022 season, Arteta managed to bring Arsenal back into the top five of the Premier League, although they did not qualify for the Champions League, at least there was some hope. Even though Arteta has gradually improved the team, their performance is still not up to expectations. For example, this season, despite their stable position in second place in the Premier League, only six points behind Liverpool, fans are not completely satisfied. Especially after the match against Manchester United, many fans questioned Arteta's tactical arrangements, believing that excessive tactical deployment made the team mechanical, lacking the vitality and creativity of the past. "Arteta has made Arsenal play more and more like a machine, the game has lost its former charm. Although this tactical detail is correct, it does not leave enough room for free play for the players. Excessive 'obsession' makes the game dull," commented one netizen. Although Arteta has the support of the Arsenal board, the gap between the views of the fans and the expectations of the club's senior management may put him under increasing pressure. If he cannot lead the team to greater breakthroughs in the coming time, his coaching career will face significant challenges. Arsenal's goal is not just second place in the Premier League, the team's ambition goes far beyond that. Judging from the current situation, Arteta seems not to have fully solved the team's offensive and defensive problems, injuries and squad adjustments have caused him considerable trouble. Especially Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard's injuries affected the team's overall performance. Over the past period, Arteta has injected new vitality into the team, but it can be seen that the problem now is not just the players themselves, the bottleneck in tactics has become increasingly obvious. Despite Arteta's achievements in the past few seasons, especially leading the team to second place in the Premier League in the 2022-2023 season, if he still fails to break through this season, even the trust of the board may waver. Arsenal cannot always tolerate a "barely satisfactory" performance season after season. Mikel Arteta is currently facing unprecedented pressure. If Arsenal's performance in the coming season is not up to par, especially in terms of offense and defense, Arteta's position may be precarious. Judging from external comments, fans are becoming less accepting of his tactical arrangements, and some are beginning to doubt whether Arteta can lead Arsenal to glory again. If this season continues to be "unpredictable," Arteta's future may really become an unresolved issue. What he needs to do is to find a solution to rejuvenate the team at this critical moment, otherwise he may see his departure in the near future.
