I think we've actually become over reliant on set pieces
You're spot on. We play for corners and celebrate winning them. Even Walcott asked what happened to Arsenal's free flowing football?
We don't have someone who can finish, our lines are really predictable
Hell I think had we played Tamworth today it'll be the same thing for 90 minutes.
We don't have anyone willing to take the game by the scruff. Ever since Martinelli got dropped, he refuses to just run at goal and shoot because he's worried he'll get dropped again and that's terrible coaching. I hate to say it but we need Arteta to step up. I would prefer that the foundation of our game is to try and win rather than not lose. Give the players a platform where they can express themselves and have magic moments.
Exactly. Taking it by the scruff is correct. There's actually less leadership on the pitch this season and Ødegaard included. There's no one taking charge and controlling the rhythm.
