So if your frame of reference is putting out a team to neutralise Man City which we did in the community shield although with the caveat of blunting our own attack, you might be forgiven for thinking things are ok.

Let me assure you that things in the two games since then were blind faith in a system that is failing to get the best out of our attacking players and at home is leaving us vulnerable to conceding because of how high we play.

Everything that we got right last season is being nullified by a galaxy brained coach. You say to me it’s only a couple of games in be patient. You’ve got kids right? Would you say to your child if they were forcing a star shaped object into a square hole and then getting frustrated because it won’t fit “just be patient” or would you as a caring father who wants the best for their child point out that it’s not meant to go there?

So yes it’s the double whammy of misappropriation of more than generous transfer funds but it’s also the utter waste of talent we do have in a system that knowing Arteta like we all do, know he will religiously stick to.
