Even since Luiz went off we totally lost our creativity. Mostly in the first half from his long passes.

This thread is embarrassing.

These guys must be great in training.

Artetas horseshoe formation is horseshit. Xhaka, Tierney and now Nketiah now hugging the left touchline, none can pass to each other. Same on the other side. It’s killing me.

I joked that we lost 50% of our offense... we actually lost more

Definitely. We look shit but not as bad as this thread looks

Everything about us is just safe pass safe pass safe pass. Fucking hell

Slow passing and a lack of movement. Poor.

So we look like shit but it's embarrassing because the degree of shit doesn't come across right?

I really, really hate that good football doesn't come naturally to Arteta. You wonder if that is ever going to change. He's had a better education than most people by working so close to Pep for several years, and yet he put out teams that play this way. It's time he took some fucking responsibility.

Looks like the moyes/rangers part of his education is winning out

Doesn't help that he went for Stuivenberg as his assistant either I suppose. That bloke should have been put in a box and lowered into the ocean after the crimes he and van Gaal committed at manchester United.

This one's 100% on Arteta

Could be worse. We could be losing 5-0 I guess

These performances are not isolated, we've been consistently playing this style which suggests it's deliberate by Arteta but it's incredibly negative. The kind of thing people criticized Emery for.

everything about this club is still wrong. st etienne had two 19 year old CBs and we sign one that is apparently not good enough to take mustafi's place and leicester signs the less heralded one and he's shutting us out.

I don’t buy that Mustafi is a better option than Saliba right now. Fofana just blended in, whilst we’re being super cautious. It’s on Arteta.

We play like shit but the toys out the pram reaction is out of proportion

6 matches 9 points and people are saying we are 'not as bad'

This is the same shit loser attitude by supporters that made Wenger last all these extra year.

It eats away at me. I need a new sport.

Nketiah really isn't very smart. Compare him to Saka it's das and night
