Arsenal started the season quite well. This is very different from what happened last season, even Arteta's position was on the brink at the time. Now Arteta has the main task to keep the consistency of his men so that they get a good achievement this season, but I don't think it will be an easy job because every team will definitely be haunted by player injury problems and the possibility of internal problems. If Arsenal can cope with it all, at least they will be able to stay in the top 4.
Arsenal management is not as cruel as other teams who will immediately fire the coach if the team gets bad results in a row, just like Wenger before I think Arteta position has been quite safe because of the great trust of management in Arteta, we admit that consistency is still a classic problem that every season hit and as a fan, I'm a little pessimistic if we will last long enough at the top of the current table, the inconsistent play and also the lack of qualified reserves are the reasons I doubt Arsenal can can stay at the top of the standings even though we have played quite well so far, but even so, I hope Arteta can find solutions and also the right strategy in the face of a hectic schedule like now,especially in dealing with the shortage of the defensive midfield sector.
Arsenal management are considerate and more understanding and patient when it comes to cutting ties with coaches, in Wenger's time when the club was in a really bad shape and everyone thought Wenger will be fired immediately it didn't happen that way instead he was giving enough time to try and get the team together and back in shape, same scenerio with Arteta, it wasn't so good for Arteta in his first 6months joining the club but he was giving time to work with the team even when he was also getting bad results he still had the trust and support of the management which as a result gave him time to understand the team and transform the team to a better state.
