My point all along is the players are not as bad as some of you are trying to make out. I have extensively showed examples of squads with less talent and ability who not only look better than us going forward but are delivering goals.You have mentioned that Arteta has to change his approach. But do you think that Arteta is forced to set up this way BECAUSE our players are too shxt, especially technical-wise and creative-wise, so that we are not able to play attacking/possession/entertaining football?
Brighton is an example, I don't know if you saw how they dispatched Villa with Welbeck of all people upfront, a player many of us were happy to see the back of.
He scored one and should have scored more, but surprise surprise - it didn't matter that he kept missing cause they made more chances for him anyways.
This is the same team we lost 3 nil to at home and Auba had zero shots on goal in 90+ mins.
When Lacazette or Auba miss their one or two chances it's a travesty. People need to admit that the shortcomings are on the manager and his approach.
Those players you mentioned would help our cause for sure, but there is enough here to score a goal in open play before the January transfer window atleast, this whole squad being poverty angle is b*llshit.
I will admit, your case is a bit different you're trying to see Barca which nobody is playing right now. However, a lot of people are going to look very stupid on here when
A) Arteta finally gets the attack clicking and the same players start firing
B) This continues, he gets the boot and another manager gets these same man going again.
Arteta has adjusted us for the better before, I personally think he can do it again. People need to climb out of his arse though and admit he is getting some things wrong.
