Gary Neville has accused Mikel Arteta of displaying a lack of composure that, in his view, negatively impacts his team’s performance.
The Arsenal manager is known for his animated presence on the touchline, often seen moving about and reacting energetically to on-field decisions.
Each manager has a unique personality, and Arteta’s animated demeanour sets him apart, drawing both supporters and critics. Neville is among the critics who have not enjoyed watching Arteta’s frequent and demonstrative reactions on the touchline.
Furthermore, Neville believes that Arteta’s lack of composure has adverse effects on his team’s performance.
Speaking on The Gary Neville Podcast, he said: ‘I want to see a composure from this Arsenal team and that’s difficult because the manager’s on the sideline jumping around like you wouldn’t believe.
‘I want to see passion, but I want to see composure and a coldness, and that feels like a contradiction. But I want to see it in the right moments at the right times.’
Just Arsenal Opinion
Arteta is not a showman, but the Spaniard will want to remain his real self no matter what others think.
His players understand him and we appreciate him, which is all that matters. As long as his team keeps winning, he can be as animated as he wants.

So Arteta should change the way he shows emotions or motivates his players because Gary Neville keeps saying “I want”,”I want”, “I want”…really?
Last I checked, we were called Arsenal and not Gary Neville FC
Scum
He is not motivating but barking orders for the majority of the game. He should let players express themselves and use their brains unless it is critical.
Always said he looks like a clown on the touchline ,passion is fine but he takes it to a whole new lvl even surpassing Klopp and Pep who both look like idiots also .
I think that is who he is and it’s not something he can change,any more than a leopard can change its spots. Jurgen Klopp is usually animated by the touchline yet I’ve never heard about it affecting the performance of his team. Antonio Conte at Chelsea is by far the most animated coach I’ve seen in the Epl and that didn’t stop his side from winning the league. Pep is a fairly animated coach too,particularly when he feels his players are not doing as instructed.There are others like de Zerbi at Brighton and Diego Simione at Atletico. I disagree with Gary on this. Perharps having worked all his career under the highly successful Sir Alex,he expects every coach to be a model of the Scotsman,who was relatively quiet on the touchline.
If only Gary knows what it takes and means to manage at an elite level.
Gary needs to caution himself. Who is he to tell someone how to display their emotions. I just keep wondering why this guy is even given a platform at all… highly biased. Remind me again how is managerial career worked out for him and his here giving advice to others…. He needs to focus on his pathetic Man U.
The little weasel can’t resist another pop at Arteta/ Arsenal.It’s in his Manure DNA.Doesn’t take long to surface any given match.Those of you who pay any attention to him need to give your head a wobble.There’s always an agenda.
At least with Garth Crooks you can see the bullshit straight.
Y can’t Gary talk about man u. Why is always on arsenal. All the 20 club we have at the EPL doe not see anything but only on arteta and arsenal. My dear friend can you plz try to mind your business or talk about man united.
