The Arsenal v Neverton, Emirates Stadium, 3pm Saturday 14 December 2024

[Mac76]

We are the only side to push City for the last 2 seasons.
They’ve finally dropped a level and it will be Liverpool or Chelsea who capitalise.
He’s taken us a fair way and deserves credit for that but he clearly won’t get us over the line

...and this

Another 2 points thrown down the drain. Arteta prefers safety over adventure. We have the players that can smash a team like Everton by playing at high tempo and balancing the risks with our squads superior ability. But the latter is being wasted. No point having players like Saka if the primary goal is to retain possession. I think we had something stupid like 80% possession today. Bet Everton were delighted with that. Means we played tippety-tap and keepsie rather than trying to win the game. Can't recall how many points have been binned by not doing what we can do well. Yet from time to time we do play open football, and we smash the opposition every time. Maybe I'm missing something but this league is there for the taking. Wonder why we are playing it carefully when it's a sure thing if we only take it.
