Arteta thinks the shit show against Athletic Bilbao was a master strategy
He is thinking he is going to contain City and then get goals later on.
Trossard i think he’s looking at going direct and Trossard can be quite good at long passes.
What it's about is Arteta being a clueless coward
Arsenal: Raya, Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori, Zubimendi, Rice, Merino, Trossard, Madueke, Gyokeres
Subs: Arrizabalaga, Martinelli, Eze, Mosquera, White, Norgaard, Nwaneri, Lewis-Skelly, Saka
Manchester City: Donnarumma, Khusanov, Dias, Gvardiol, O'Reilly, Rodri, Reijnders, Silva, Foden, Doku, Haaland
Subs: Trafford, Ake, Stones, Gonzalez, Savinho, Nunes, Bobb, Mukasa, Lewis
Yeah I guess so. It's all on the approach of the players now
Not really, you can’t make players something they are not. You can’t make them worse by coaching them badly. But no amount of tactics or individuality is going to make Rice a number 8 or Merino a number 10.
Plus their midfield trio is going to shit all over ours. This is going to be ugly
This was why I was so frustrated before and during the Bilbao game.
He clearly knows that Eze is better playing through the middle, but he can't help himself but listen to those voices in his head of "caution, caution, caution."
The time to test Eze has slipped by and now he's ready to play for another bore draw brawl.
It's always one thing with him, just one change would have made this lineup perfect and he had more than 2 weeks to plan this.
Even Sky did a piece on this immediately after the Bilbao game on what the stats show when Merino and Rice play together (should have dropped it on here earlier but its been one of those weeks).
Imagine giving someone a Ferrari, Lambo and Koenigsegg..yet he insists on showing up to the race track with a rickety Volvo just to spoil everyone's mood.
Come on Arsenal.
The thing is if Odegaard were fit, he’d be starting today no question
So not sure it’s even about caution it’s about lack of trust. The two things overlap but aren’t necessarily one and the same
He doesn’t trust Eze through the middle, he doesn’t trust Nwaneri starting in a big game. Most of all it’s about him saying i know better than the rest of you. He clearly wasn’t burnt badly enough at Anfield to not to be a galaxy brain
