Winter Transfer Missed Opportunities and Regrets

[HCZ_Reborn]

Arteta for me seems to want attacking football that doesn’t risk anything at the back, and it just doesn’t exist

Even on the counter attack, you can get dispossessed by pressing teams, you can misplace a pass and put yourself in trouble

21_Gunner_Salute made the argument that it feels like we don’t go for goals to kill off games even when we are in front. And often when we’ve been pegged back it’s been a result of sitting back on what we have. With the paucity in striking options I can understand that with ten men, but I think take Villa for example…the reason it got back to 2-2 is because we dropped back at 2-1.

Exactly this, it's been like it all season.

When we get in front it's like we shut up shop and only go for a goal if the opportunity is gifted to us.

Incredibly frustrating.
