Arsenal fans blame Arteta after Wolves draw

"It’s the same pattern for the past three years under Arteta, thank God he’s not staying beyond this season."
@Dazzyblac1 said:
"At this point, I’m convinced Arteta managing Arsenal is Pep’s long term masterplan to keep them trophyless.
A third wrote:
“Arteta doesn't have the mentality of winning the Premier League for Arsenal.”
Another claimed:
“Arteta has put the league back in City's hands.”
A fifth added:
“Last season when Arteta altered his tactics to safe plays and control, it was obvious there was a problem with it. You can't go over the line if you keep playing safe. He lost the league.”

In recent weeks, questions have been raised about Arsenal’s cautious approach and reliance on set pieces, even though their league position remains strong.
The Gunners rank fourth for open-play goals this season with 29, 13 fewer than Manchester City have managed in the 2025/26 campaign.
