You’re right about opposing fans but the lads were even on the wind up even when Arteta was on a good run.
It’s very hard to see any signs of progress at the moment, the young lads freshened things up for a while but this feels very like last season right now and that’s not a good thing.
Agreed
They were utter shite last night, whether it’s down to the system and approach used by Arteta or down to the players not doing what they were asked to do, it looks bad on Arteta
His subs were suspect as fuck IMO
Not for the 1st time
I read his reasoning for bringing Eddie: ‘because he trains hard and well’
So what?
He’s leaving in 5 months and can sign a pre contract with another club in 3 weeks
Some people could argue that he did more in 20 minutes than Laca did in 85 and suits the system better, that just confuses me even more as by that logic he should have been playing a lot more and start games , which in turn would have seen him sign a new contract, more than likely
Xhaka -whilst he wasn’t that bad, came back from 2 months without football, lasted 95 min while KT was taken off after 1h…if anything you’d think KT could last 90 min, he’s hardly featured for Arsenal but played 2 full games for Scotland a fortnight ago
Laca, everyone and his dog know he’s burnt after 70 min yet he played 85 min, getting duck all service from midfield… he’s never been a fitness monster but asking him to spend his time tracking back and collecting the ball in midfield seems to me like a waste of energy and not so smart planning
Lastly, for me the team already relies too much on the likes of ESR and Saka to produce the goods
If one is out and the other one has an off day, there’s nothing being created (not that the team was producing chance galore with them in the team in the first place)
