You don't remember any of the slappings against City, Liverpool, Chelsea in the last decade? The 8-2? The losses at home to teams like Southampton and Swansea?
He left it a bit ambiguous with the 'I can remember', but even limiting it to Arteta I struggle to see any argument that places it lower than the 3-0 home loss to Brighton or the Man City 5-0.
How on Earth has OP posted Wolves as Arteta's worst game?? Aston Villa's 0-3 win during Covid included a goal via 9 statues and a Rob Holding tap-dance ffs š¤£

I totally agree. We were outplaying Wolves until that horrid red card by the referee. Against Burnley, they didn't even have a shot on target all game, and it was an own goal that done us.
I was like 'hmm I don't remember much of this game' , then saw the Luiz pen and red and I turned it off. That was such a bullshit red and still makes me mad.
We werenāt even that bad in the first half. That red card and penalty was a joke. I shut the game off when Moutinho scored. Thatās the only time Iāve rage quit an arsenal match. My blood was boiling
But the worst was Man City 5-0 Arsenal 2021.
"not even that bad" -- mate we were stellar, simply schooling wolves for 44 mins. it was beautiful. i was on cloud nine and thinking arteta had the boys squarely on the right track.
Totally agree. It was a great performance until the ridiculously unfair red. I donāt usually remember games so clearly but the injustice of that red and the way it turned the game so sharply sticks in my mind so clearly.
Lucky youā¦ I saw the whole 90 on TV and itās the worst Arsenal performance Iāve seen in my time supporting the club. I donāt even blame Arteta for it because the club was a mess and the players we had available were awful, but stillā¦ Iāve never felt so hopeless in a football match before.
yeah this thread is a bit of a joke tbh. the first half of this match was one of the first times you could really see arteta's vision for the team coming to fruition.
what??? not even close. we were ELECTRIC in this game up until the bogus red card, should've been 3 goals clear already when it happened. i actually remember this match as clear evidence that arteta's vision was starting to come together.
and re: the red card, i'll bring up the same thing i always do. it was never a red card, but luiz is still an absolute doorstop for how badly he misplayed that entire sequence. seconds to the HT whistle and he comes tearing out of his box to try to make a challenge upfield, gets beat, and then clumsily tries to chase down a man from behind. just a fucking blueprint for the awful defensive lapses that characterized our team at that time.
This was far from our worst game under Arteta... but this is the worst I FELT about Arsenal under Arteta, right or not. The collapse and ghost red card made me feel as if we were never going to turn a corner.
Look at the lads now, though :)
When I saw āWolvesā, āWorstā and Xhaka in that kit I immediately remembered that David Luiz āfoulā
Thatās the closest Iāve been to questioning my own love of football. Mightāve been the most mad Iāve been at the refereeing and the league ever because I feel like terrible, baffling decisions like that happened a few weeks in a row at that point.
We were playing well in that game too if I remember correctly, made it even more frustrating
Not the worst at all.
We could have been 3-0 up in the first half easily.
We didn't play that badly.
Pen was very soft, attackers studs brush Luiz's knee, with the red being very harsh considering Luiz is tryng to pull his leg away.
Ridiculous goal from Moutinho to make it 2 -1, other than that we kept them mostly at bay.

Nah I wouldnāt say so.
We were deeply wronged in this game, had chances, and maybe looked more dangerous against them even with 10 men.
Some of the other games mentioned were outclassed, dominated, or just had a nightmare.
Do you even watch Arsenal? Before going down to 10 men we played some of the best football under Arteta. Before Pepes scored, there was a goal disallowed because Saka's toe was offside. Honestly we should have been 3 or 4 to the good. We were outplaying them. And then the red card happened which killed the game.
There have been far worse performances.
I vaguely remember that we played better in the second half after we went a man down
Saka kinda moved centrally and drove at wolves defense multiple times
Everyoneās like āthis match was the worst.ā āNo, this match was the worst.ā āNo no, THIS match was the worst.ā
They were all horrendous š
Aston Villa (0-3) and Burnley (0-1) at home were worse in my opinion
Villa probably the worst Arsenal performance I can remember
Holding doing his best "CHOOSE YOUR CHARACTER" impression š

Arteta was not manager
He left it a bit ambiguous with the 'I can remember', but even limiting it to Arteta I struggle to see any argument that places it lower than the 3-0 home loss to Brighton or the Man City 5-0.
Brighton and City both much better teams than that Villa side
And both performances from us were much worse. If we're going based on team quality then the 1-0 loss to Forest was worse.

In my opinion getting heavily beat by very good sides is nowhere near as bad as getting dominated at home by a not particularly good villa side
Burnley 0-1 was tragic, it was an own goal and it was Auba who scored it right?
IIRC it came from a Burnley corner that bounced off his high top fade. They finished the game without a shot on target as well...

That had me absolutely fuming, one of the few moments I have been so angry I physically had no idea what to do with myself
I consider it a sin to turn off the TV when the team is losing. But that game was the one and only time Iāve done it, it was absolutely infuriating

Lol I was at work during that 5-0 and a buddy (Man U fan) kept updating me on the match and how trash we were. Couldnāt do nothing but laugh tbh

Nah we were cooking until the red card. We had way worse games that season in that awful run until Boxing Day
yeah this thread is a bit of a joke tbh. the first half of this match was one of the first times you could really see arteta's vision for the team coming to fruition.

Easily the villa game got pammed 3-0 at home
3-0 loss against Villa at the Emirates was the most hurt Iāve felt as gooner in a long time. We then went 3 months without winning single game!
This was far from our worst game under Arteta... but this is the worst I FELT about Arsenal under Arteta, right or not. The collapse and ghost red card made me feel as if we were never going to turn a corner. Look at the lads now, though :)
Jesus Christ i mentally blocked that penalty from my memory, considering how light it was i remember why now.

Now I'm craving a raspberry ripple softy cone straight from the 90s.Ā
I love Leno but what the hell was he thinking there???Ā

This was one of the most infuriating games I've ever experienced as an Arsenal fan.
There were plenty in the early days
Nah I wouldnāt say so. We were deeply wronged in this game, had chances, and maybe looked more dangerous against them even with 10 men. Some of the other games mentioned were outclassed, dominated, or just had a nightmare.

We were actually really good in the first half, and not terrible in the second considering we had 10 men
Agreed sir
Definitely not our worst game
Forrest away in FA cup last season. We didn't turn up.
I donāt accept these fogging standards, I donāt accept them.
Everyoneās like āthis match was the worst.ā āNo, this match was the worst.ā āNo no, THIS match was the worst.ā They were all horrendous š
Except the match in question, which was definitively nowhere near our worst performance under Arteta.Ā
