Somebody please show Arteta this.
There was also a 3-1 home defeat to Aston Villa
A 6-3 defeat at Man City
A 5-1 defeat at Liverpool( watch it? He scored in it)
And a 6-0 defeat at Chelsea
............ there it is.
Also that was Wengerball, that was his philosophy.
Its not Arteta's and its wasn't Emery's.
Arteta says he likes possession football but he doesn't know what he wants because he's a rookie, what I've seen is he is a micro manager who's way more cautious in his core than Wenger or Pep ever was.
He's fighting his idea of football that he's seen and thinks he wants against his base instincts of a cautious defensive, controlling manager.
This was always going to be a problem for someone who's never done the job, he hasn't crafted an identity or a philosophy yet.
He looks happiest going with the 3-4-3 because it suits his own instincts, playing out from the back, deep CM's etc .......... i'd of at least supported him if he gave us an identity, but he keeps losing his nerve after every loss and bouncing between 3-4-3 or 4-3-3 and back round the houses again.
We don't have time for this crap, but that's what we chose, he needs to figure out what he wants soon.
