Classic Wenger tonight

This.

He is too scared to scare them. Run at them, take snapshots, but ruthless.

He’s beem coached to pass, not to use his instinct.

Read a blog recently that suggested the entire team has been overcoached. With the amount of touches, passes and time we’re looking for to find an opening, I’d suggest there’s probably something in that.

Hardly anything instinctive happens now when you compare to how exciting things were last season. I get that it’s not easy to play against a low block but that’s just something every decent team needs to find a way around so I don’t have any sympathy.

No Partey in the middle anymore is also a big factor in not being able to transition play effectively.

Classic Wenger tonight

It was like that. Wengerball at its worst.
Pass, pass, pass, pass, back, side, pass, pass, pass, pass.
Rinse and repeat. There were a few moments where we looked a bit more incisive but overall we never seriously threatened them. Their ‘keeper made a few saves but all pretty easy.
Just so blunt in attack, we can’t win the title if we don’t address that in January.
Which we won’t.
