Doc I don't have any major issues with Arteta's tactics and still find the notion that he doesn't want to attack, a weird one
I have to remind myself last season we scored more goals than in any Wenger season, and in fact in any Arsenal season since the 60s. I think Arteta's tactics are highly offence oriented, albeit through territorial domination and camping in the opposition penalty area.
The intent is there, but the two way demands of the system are brutal on all the players and stifle creativity to some extent, and our execution has gone stale after two seasons of this tactical template.
It is important to understand there is very little wrong with what we're doing, and that therefore, major surgery on tactics or selection is much more likely to have a negative than positive effect.
I would also double the number of minutes given to our subs. Instead of writing off the likes of Nelson, Smith Rowe and even Trossard—one of the best and most productive "spot signings" I've ever seen at Arsenal—Arteta should be throwing these dogs a bone and resting the legs of Saka, Martinelli, Jesus et al.
