We already played good attacking football under Arteta with these players. It's possible.
Let's hope we can get back to that. You don't need 11 great players to have an attacking philosophy.
Excellent game management today, his best performance in that regard. That was hugely encouraging and he anticipated Wolves game very well. We managed to weather the storm as we're particularly weak in the first 15 mins of the 2nd half since Arteta's become coach but we dealt with that well and Arteta's subs were all spot on - even the questionable ones (Laca for Eddie, AMN for Tierney in particular).
Think we'll see more of that once the team starts believing in itself again. We're going to have blips on the run in, but at least you could see that the players were not ****ting themselves left right and center like they usually do.

Might have to change my signature if he keeps this up. Happy to eat my crow. Still though supporting Luiz, Mari and Cedric getting 4 ****ing years had drove me to the wall after Brighton.

Granted, but going attacking football against wolves is a **** mission in most cases. He did the right thing.

More results like this and less talking to the media, Mikel. Shut me up please!
All we want from our fans is supporting the manager. Arteta is learning but I'm impressed how he handling the attitude and training if you don't give your best you not in the team.

The difference in standards is staggering. 
His best in game management so far.. Looked awful in the 2nd half until he made the right subs and we got back in it.

When? I'd rather win games and Arteta seems to be basing strategies on the amount of games in a short period of time plus what the opponent likes to play. Just going full out attacking every game is a **** mission for our standings in the table. We don't have the players to do this game in and game out.

None as bad as 3 separate injuries jack had (impact injuries from bad tackles).

Before the COVID break.
Just winning games any way you can is not the kind of manager I want Arteta to be. I'm sure he doesn't want to be that kind of manager either. Arteta will work on our attack in the coming weeks as he won't be happy with such performances in the long term.

Considering we have no senior ball carrying or creative midfielder other than Özil who appears to be in AWOL mode, I think we will need to hold out for a bit longer before we see flowing football.
Arteta has plumped for a formation that protects our weaker first choice players in order to try to get results while he beds in certain standards.
the 3-4-3 is also particularly well suited to the last 3 teams we;ve played against.
I don't think this squad as is is constructed to even attempt to play peak Wengerball, so it makes sense to be pragmatic at the moment.

I think it's a matter of making the most of what he has. I don't think he had the tools he needs for his philosophy at the moment. He brought in people like Pablo Mari to implement passing from the back. It will take at least two windows I reckon before we start to see what Arteta really wants from his team.
Country: England
Hmm but I don't think we are? I mean our team isn't good enough to go to Wolves and dominate, so Arteta is doing what we cried out for Wenger to do for ages; go away to hard places and adjust.
Then at home (like against Norwich) we are starting to see the kind of football Arteta wants, pressing and good passing
