I think we did give it a go, just the fk happened too late for us to react in a sustained manner.

Thats fair enough. And the context today is different to when we are chasing against a team we are expected to beat as well. Its more a personal hang up I have about Arteta & its something I want him to improve upon moving forwards, especially with this squad he has now.

I see it differently. I hated how open we were under later arsene and emery. Still have nightmares of kdb in center circle with nobody within 25 yards of him. Under arteta we are serious. Timber was SHOUTING at midfielders for being left 1-on-1 against gakpo. These things make a serious team

I'm not advocating that those systems were better than Arteta's. 95% of the time the system is fine. However, there are times the system needs variance as football is not linear. Things can happen against the run of play & the really good teams can find a way to win, to turn 1 point into 3.

That's why we love football mate, goals can happen anytime and for the most random reasons. We lost, but not because of the tactics.
