This is what's worrying. With Wenger we went through rough patches, some shocking results and performances, but there was always the reasurance that he's experienced enough to pull us through it, which he did. Towards the end of his reign I was never positive we'd win the league but I knew we would never finish mid-table while Wenger was in charge! Now I don't have that assurance with Arteta, i genuinly wouldn't be surprised if we finish there this season.
The time we've went without scoring from open play is frightning, even though we've changed personel and now formation. At this stage everyone is just praying Arteta can turn this around.
Weird thing we were far more expansive and attacking when he first took over, and started Özil pretty much every game. It's only post lockdown, our attacking play has just been slowly getting worse. He should try to find a happy medium between the 2 approaches even without Özil, until January at least.
