I genuinely have no idea what formation we played today. We seemed to transition between these four:

2nd you idiot

We don’t play in formations we play in zones

Wenger's still playing 4D chess while Mikel's living in a 6G world.

But it was a 433, just Saka overloaded the left hand side at all times

This the formation and position of players is different based on the timing in the game el neny was dropping deep to be a 3rd cb at time and saka was playing lw and cm , I feel for sure we looked more dynamic offensively when pepe auba willian

We’re poor at the moment, we’re winning which is great but same thing happened with Emery, doesn’t fill me with confidence playing like this there’s a very fine line between winning and losing.

Need to up our game big time and we need some quality in midfield big time.

If that doesn’t happen I worry for us with Everton and Spurs looking really good and scoring left right and centre.

Elneny was doing the same as what Xhaka used to do when Arteta first arrived playing 4231. When Bellerin went further forwards, Elneny would plug the space behind and cover. Xhaka used to do the same on the left when Saka would play fullback and roam forward.

We had no creativity centrally and especially wide, until Pepe came on.

Really clear that we need midfield additions and to do more in wide positions

[starmandb]

Pierre really needs a goal.

He does.
Hope he gets it soon. We need at least 25 goals from him this season

Or just play laca instead of eddie

That doesn;t matter.
We're paying 350k for Auba and he needs to be scoring regularly.
All he has done so far this season is score a goal that didn't matter.

Every goal matters
We have won leagues on goal difference

[starmandb]

be a massive pussy if he's out for the season from that

When was the last time Auba had a long term injury

Reliable.

His longest injury was 1 week in 2016

[starmandb]

No creativity and Elneny can't pass the ball forwards to save his life, this game has got 0-0 written all over it.

Its always 1 way or the other for us, we either attack, score loads and concede loads, or don't attack and don't concede.

Writing must have been in Egyptian
I cant understand that either

[Ach]

Wilder not happy with luiz not getting a red. Don't blame him

Agreed, there was no set formation today and Arteta's been doing that for a while, today even more than before.

Saka played everywhere from LCM, LW and LB.

Tierney was LCB to LB same as what Kola has done for weeks.

Elneny as you say was dropping to be part of the 3 CB's.

I'm not sure if this is a good thing or not, seems to me Arteta wants to have his cake and eat it playing this way.
Most of the time we were 4-3-3 and in times of defense 3-4-3 or more 5atb but when Elneny slips back into a back 3 wtf is that?

The only thing that remains constant is the front 3.

Arteta didn't even answer when asked about his formation in his last post match interview.

Nobody mentioning how much better we seem defensively? Massive improvements and looked solid, we don't look like we will concede from every attack anymore, yesterday was exactly the type of game where we would have conceded at the end and drawn last season. Yes we may not be fluent going forward yet but our possession and play from the back has improved massively and when you look at our results it shows, it looked like the performance against West ham wasn't great but now looking at their results over the last couple of weeks it looks like a good win.
