It's funny because the excuses are already in "If Arsenal had a Cf"....yeah nothing to do with Arteta signing 6 attacking players and 24 miss and defenders in the past 5 years. Paint the picture of the Future all you want, but you can't ignore what is set in stone. Failure.

It's not a player issue. Of course Afc haven't got the best players in each position in the world, but the problem is fundamentals. Who made Partey take all those thrown ins? Who makes the players take forever to throw ins? Ramsdale vs Southampton, Raya tonight. That's philosophy

Saka scored tonight by breaking the mould and taking up a different position. Who does like for like subs? Even though Martinelli not Trossard are wingers. Different players same tactics and philosophy. It's insanity.

Z I’ve said it that getting new players doesn’t solve systemic problems. Look at this for example. What is Rice doing in that position? Nelli in that position runs in behind cos it’s more natural to him. Look at Gakpo here.cos it’s natural to him. x.com/bastiandotnet/…

Sad but true ☯️

Remember the heading ability of Martinelli? How many opportunities has he had to to be central in his thinking? Platforming players correctly can add 50% to their game or take 50% away if platformed incorrectly.

This is my point about Arteta not reading in game moments and just being in love with the idea. Keeps the formation, but didn't recognise Merino was finished 10 minutes ago. Raya again? Passing without thinking. Switch it up

Nwaneris face then when Zinchenko was getting subbed on. Players will lose faith.

For Odegaard to not even hit the target on that last chance is crazy. You either pass it, bury it or make the keeper work. Things have to change next season.

Oi he’s fuming

This just shows that Arteta is fearful. In theory it makes sense because if Odegaard tries this pass to Martinelli and fails there is a massive gap for Afc to exploit on the left. That's the issue though, what if it works? Also you're not profiling players correctly. Sacrificing
