    half our bench is leftbacks rn, and the rest are coming back from injury, or kids who haven’t made debuts.

    i’m saying LB is the most comfortable with our tactic right now. It’s why we could put fucking Zinchenko there, doesn’t have to defend and can focus on his outputs in passing and offence. It’s nothing to do with Saka.

    also 30 minutes in one match is nothing.

    i’m not saying arteta isn’t at fault, i’m saying he’s not the main problem. You think he’s the reason we haven’t signed Raphinha or Williams or Sesko or Vlahovic or all the other names we’ve been linked with?

      Arteta is a defensive coach. When things get tough, he shuts up shop. When we’re ahead he shuts up shop. If he pushed for attackers like he does defenders, we’d have them. Look at how he tapped up Rice. The squad is built to his spec and his style of play.
