This is the most balanced attack we had even without Özil you'd expect Pepe/Willian Auba Saka to preform betterThe football was better under Freddie imo. That West Ham game when he unleashed Martinelli-Auba-Pepe with Özil behind.

? This is robotic football.Have to pray it’s in the locker. I think he likes robotic football but we need better players for that
I mean robotic attacking play like Manchester City rather than complete free flowing? This is robotic football.
Why is he correct manager? Is his tactics right for us or is this we keep him and have faith and he will become opposite of what he is? It’s the wrong manager with the wrong tactics. Honestly if this continues I would sack him within 3 games. Luck is not tactics you can rely onNeed to stick with him. Have faith, he is a correct manager for us and learning.
We are finally signing good players but we need better attackers and good partner for Gabriel. Better GK. A lot of work needed to be done.
But we have to start getting better at attacking ASAP. Develop now. Next season we will hopefully see back of Özil, Mustafi, Lacazette, Leno, etc... Improve. Trust the process.

Mans talking about a peak welbeck you know :rofl:Peak Welbeck would have been perfect for the Arteta system, would have us as a significantly better team imo.

The tactics will improve. I have faith that Arteta can turn this around. The only mistake so far was not binning Leno and keeping Martinez.
We are still lacking in certain areas but when Özil is gone we will hopefully have money to find partner for Gabriel, a midfielder with Partey and new striker.
I was thinking about all the talk that he wants the team to play a certain way, do this and that, but all I see is a Tony Pulis copycat.“My philosophy will be clear,” he said. “I want the football to be expressive, entertaining. I cannot have a concept of football where everything is based on the opposition.
“We have to dictate the game, we have to be the ones taking the initiative, and we have to entertain the people coming to watch us.
What the hell happened?
2019/20
RW/LW - 15 goals with an xG of 9.02
FW - 7 goals with an xG of 6.94
2018/19
RW/LW - 3 goals with an xG of 2.03
FW - 14 goals with an xG of 16.11
2017/18
RW/LW - 3 goals with an xG of 2.64
FW - 20 goals with an xG of 23.11
2016/17
FW - 30 goals with an xG of 30.88
2015/16
FW - 23 goals with an xG of 26.09
Last seasons goal scoring record was an anomaly. The stats show he has never outperformed his xG anywhere close to that. He was scoring a lot of goals that he had no right scoring. His whole career has been about being in the right position and putting away chances and he’s now being asked to feed off scraps or create something out of nothing. It worked for the first 15 games under Arteta but it’s simply not sustainable, especially for a player as limited as Auba.
Lot more personal issues with Saliba.First big question I have with Arteta is the Saliba situation.
Gabriel: 3000 minutes of Ligue 1 experience = Instant starter.
Saliba: 2300 minutes of Ligue 1 experience = needs a loan.
Now, this wouldn't be a big deal if it wasn't for the fact that you still have Mu

Now, this wouldn't be a big deal if it wasn't for the fact that you still have Mustafi getting minutes, a player who is by all accounts not good enough. I get that Saliba is young, but no one is asking for him to be a guaranteed starter, but you have a lot of football to play this season and there would be a lot of minutes for him across competitions.
I don't get it.
