The manager deserves full blame imo but we’ve also stacked our squad full of limited players.
Lacazette, Nketiah, Auba, Willian etc all can’t dribble with the ball. Kick and run merchants.
Here's the deal:In regards to the midfield trio, I actually think it's time to give Willock or AMN a run there. A second player who can actually progress the ball alongside Partey and we'd have won comfortably. Even a headless chicken like Willock would have been better than what we saw out there from Ceballos and Xhaka today.
Look at thier goal. Ffs musti what you doing or going.
Also, I don’t mind losing if we play on the front foot, what’s the point of being so passive and still losing games?
I’m fed up. We look really really bad and the signs tell me it’s not going to improve much.
He is one of the main reasons this club is sinking!How has he been here this long? They gave him another contract in 2018 ffs.
This was pretty similar to a Liverpool 433 tbfWHY CANT WE JUST PLAY LIKE A NORMAL TEAM PLAYING 433???
Arteta spent too much time with Josep, turning fullbacks into CM and CM into 3 ATB CBs or whatever stuff they were doing

Jheeee spoiler alert.
You're probably right but as the heat turns up on him, he's going to need to trust them because as much as a young player might let you down, these older players he's trusting will let you down. They've proven it time and again.Here's the deal:
Arteta doesn't trust the young players - or rather, he doesn't want to trust them as they're too young to be relied upon. He's alluded to this in his press conferences and that's fair IMO. I mean, he plays Saka a hell of a lot but he's that rare youngster who is a fairly consistent performer - always has been.
I agree wholeheartedly with you to be honest, it's exactly what I would have done but Arteta is proving to be somewhat risk averse in his tenure so far. Maybe we'll see a more progressive team against Dundalk on Thursday (at least, I hope so, I don't want to see Laca, Xhaka or Ceballos anywhere near that XI on Thursday).
Fair enough, I’ve always thought his goals gloss over his performances. Average touch, No hold up play, poor in the air & very rarely beats his man despite being gifted with ridiculous pace. He’s Walcott with better finishing. Totally understand why Arteta doesn’t trust him to lead the line. You belittle Vardy for his touch and go passes but he does that far better than any of our forwards, I see Vardy as the better player, might not score as many but helps makes his team tick, can you really say the same for Aubemeyang?
Im sure he’ll score a tap in next week and everyone will be hyping him up again.
