Not feeling Trossard at all in this role - no homo.

We were so good defensively last season not just because we were solid at the back but because we gave opponents so few chances by controlling the game. Playing defensive players all over the field cedes control, it allows the opposition to play more aggressively because they have less to worry about. So playing all these defensive players is actually hurting our defensive solidity.

Why are we crossing so much when there’s the f***ing inside through ball option available all the time??

Also no urgency whatsoever, why does everyone take 5 touches before making a pass?

Trossard and Martinelli are an issue today I think. Havertz has probably , been our worst player tbf. Our front 5 are working so poorly with each other. Not great

I've liked seeing the more direct attacking but we don't have the end quality on the ball.

Martinelli playing pretty poorly.

Overall I think we're ceding too much control compared to how we usually play.

So over coached you can see every playerhas been told to take a touch it's slowing down everything especially any service from wide

This is a perfect opportunity for Arteta to make a tactical change and show what he is capable of as a manager

This use of Havertz does not work. It's too much like how he was used first half of last season. Get him up front properly FFS....

This! No one-twos, no quick creative moves, everything involves taking multiple touches and slowing our own attack down

Yeah there are a few that are good. The problem has been the better ones have gotten less airtime IMO.
