He has always been risk averse coach which has plagued us since the start. I’d love to know how many games we’ve lost without scoring because it feels like a lot under Arteta. I appreciate the fact that you need defensive stability and control to compete but goals and only goals are going to actually get you over the line when it matters. Even someone like Mourinho at his defensive peak often had world class forwards who would deliver consistently.

I don’t believe that he can’t coach forwards, I think it’s more that he doesn’t feel like they’re absolutely essential. Which is something from the Pep playbook that he probably observed at City.

I think we are a team of substance but no style. Which is a complete 180 to what we used to be. I think Arteta has over complicated things, we take too much touches and cannot seem to penetrate defences with any pace because of the sideways nature of our football. Any forward will probably suffer in our current system.
