I don't think any lead in November is unassailable- particularly a lead that is almost eradicated by one draw and one defeat.

I'd say Arteta has until end of next season. If we are still trophyless at that stage then a discussion needs to take place.

My biggest concern at the moment is the transfer business. Did Arteta want Eze and Gyokeres?
Can't see why he wouldn't have wanted them. Of course, they don't come from Real Sociedad or anything but still, Mikel would know they could at least hold up an end, so to speak.

And they have both shifted a few shirts.
