Frustrate them for 90 minutes and nick a goal here and there. That's the MO right now against better sides.
Sadly, that's the MO of a bottom half of the table side. I'm hoping it's just a prelude to something better quite soon. It's not a top 4 formula.Frustrate them for 90 minutes and nick a goal here and there. That's the MO right now against better sides.

Nah, not a chance. Arsène threw caution to the wind and treated all sides the same way up to 2015/16. His attacking flare produced some of the most exciting games of football I've ever seen.I was about for 1 nil to the Arsenal and "boring boring" Arsenal so I will lose no sleep over 1-0 wins over title contenders myself.
Better than Arsène's lambs to the sluaghterhouse approach in the second half of his Arsenal career. His boys against men themed tactics worked really well didn't they.
Whilst his attacking flare produced some classics, I'm fine on the humiliating losses they often came with which are still possible with this team.Nah, not a chance.

This is a myth, the vast majority of them lose.That's the best way to play against City though, look how well Leicester did on the counter...I see no issue in this.
When you are up against a better team than you, the best style is a defensive counter attack.
I'd rather play that way and win away to City than do what Wenger did for years (all bar one game) and go away to big sides and get absolutely battered.

It's just bread landing buttered side down syndrome. People focus on the occasional tonking.Whilst his attacking flare produced some classics, I'm fine on the humiliating losses they often came with which are still possible with this team.
Wenger was often ill prepared tactically and I don't want us to return to "go out and play".
I personally have no issues with Arteta's or Emery's pragmatic approach - as long as the players buy into it.
Wasn't trying to sh*t on Wenger tbh, just reinforcing that there is a reason why we currently play the way we do.I won’t stand idly by while people give Wenger ****.
For all his over exaggerated failures... he kept us in the top 4 for 20 years straight. Something we can’t seem to do once anymore.
I agree with the boys vs men point though. That youth reliant strategy was his biggest mistake IMO.
Maybe you're right tbh.It's just bread landing buttered side down syndrome. People focus on the occasional tonking.
You don't half talk rubbish.I'd rather play that way and win away to City than do what Wenger did for years (all bar one game) and go away to big sides and get absolutely battered.
We won't be in a position to compete like for like with City and Liverpool away from home until after next window and only if we make CL football this year. So no point going into those games and turning up to get battered.
Luckily we are getting both out the way within the first 5 games. In fact getting United, City and Liverpool away matches done and dusted in the opening 10 game weeks is very good for us in the long run.
