His arrogance and inclination to thinking he's smarter than everyone else. I don't even mind him trying weird formations but playing people out of position a d not even playing a striker at home to Fulham is typical of him and he's done similar before and not learned from it.
The team just lacks a ruthlessness and this is instilled by Arteta. The outrageous favoritism shown so certain players who now know they're undroppable. There's just no hunger in some of them. We suffered from this in the '21 run in, when we just lacked attacking threat and the only player who consistently offered it, Pepe, couldn't get near the team.
The negativity whenever we take the lead. Just subbing all attacking players for defensive ones. What kinda message does this send to the players? Liverpool was the classic one and yesterday is fresh but he's done this numerous times. Against ten men at home to a poor side and he's making defensive subs at 80 minutes with fuck knows how much injury time to play nowadays.
