Oh no, that wasn't complacency. Did I do a post on that? Ok I can't lay my hands on it, but this one in May last year gives some answer– https://peakd.com/hive-101690/@ogeewitty/no-half-measures
So there was no complacency, it's just the expertise of the coach that was lacking, in team selection. You didn't employ an Ancelloti or Pep, you employed a young coach who was far from the finished article, so he must show incompetence somewhere. Incompetence isn't complacency.
Note that the failings of Dec 2023 is quite similar to that of my May 2023 blog above.
See, my joy is that Arteta keeps learning and improving. Already I told you he's following the recommendations of that my blog above, so stay calm Westham or not. Remember, "Arsenal doesn't forget".
So last season's ending has nothing to do with complacency pls.
Cheers man
