With Arteta confirmed I have one question: What does a successful rest of the season look like?

100% win record.

2nd in PL.

Europa League & FA Cup double.

120% win record or sack.

That'd be pretty great

Sorry, but no way we should settle for 2nd place in PL

If he gets us ticking, 4th is still manageable. Only 7 points off.

We need a good run for that. This run of fixtures will be tough.

Hopeful though

And for a good run, we need a good team.../s....sort of..

We're on track for a 44 point season. That's scary.

Yeah top 4 might not be a dream if we start performing.

Top 6. A good run in the FA cup. A good run in the Europa. Obv, winning the Europa or even the FA cup would be fantastic, but very optimistic. Also, acquiring a football identity would be considered a success as well, considering how lost we are on the field rn.

A positive footballing identity and signs Guendouzi and other youth are performing better under a new manager

Exactly this. I don’t care where we end up on the table at this point.

Just not relegation for me, obviously haha

Just for me to enjoy watching my Arsenal again.

Just don't get relegated.

With how crazy the rest of the league has been top 4 is actually still possible. He would be an instant legend if we got top 4, but an EL spot would be good enough given that how the season has gone so far. If he just gets the team looking good by the end of the season I'll be happy.

Better, believable performances - a sense of style about our play. Final of EL, bonus points with a win. 5th place at a minimum.

He should show that he has the ability to identify and address our problems. That doesn't mean finishing in a certain position or scoring a certain amount of points. It means watching the remaining games and seeing fewer defensive mistakes and better control in the midfield (for the most part).

By season's end, all I really expect is Arsenal playing stylistic, recognizable, systematic football again. A discernable brand fans recognize and can get behind.

These aren't his players and this isn't his mess. I just want to see that he has a clear and concise idea for how he plans to fix it.

Unless we somehow win the Europa league or float our way through the other inconsistant teams to 4th.

Then it'll look like:

Looks good, though

Don’t be shit. I’ll settle for entertainment and acceptance by our fan base of a rebuild

mrhighway182:29: Guendouzi•

If he could get us back into the champions league I’d be absolutely delighted, bit of a stretch. Would happy to even finish in the top 6 at this stage.

2
Limpar112•

Just wanna see us play better and build on for next season.

If he can get us back up the table and finish between 6th and 3rd, with some early embers of a long term philosophy on the pitch. I’ll be relatively happy with him.

Champions League.

Atleast 1 cleansheet from now on

He hasn't actually been confirmed though has he?

1
dannywelbad•

He all but has, even Stevie Wonder can see it.

The team playing with professionalism, I am sick and tired of our players walking around out of position whilst being unable to control a football or make a 5 yard pass.
