I was watching Juve play after our match, another team who looked similarly terrible and disorganized under their new manager. They scored a worldie from Kulusevski to salvage a draw, but the difference in attacking intent and risk taking is stark.
We don't pour players forward when chasing a goal. We pass it far too safe 99% of the time. Even when there are obvious players open in a offensive position we always choose to pass it back. Pass it to the guy who can turn his marker and flick away for a 1-2 and we are in a good position. I noticed this time and time again every match under Arteta. It's definitely by design to decrease 1 touch football and play it safe. There's literally zero attacking patterns.
And playing 3 CMs are supposed to make you defensively extremely solid so your wide man could concentrate mostly on attacking but both of them spend more time chasing shadows instead. It's just weird.
