The style of football is awful. No creativity. Hate seeing Partey at right back, Partey is Arsenal’s best midfielder right now. Without Partey in midfield, Odegaard in form and Saka playing, it seems Arsenal need all three of these things to properly attack.
2 seasons ago Arsenal played free flowing attacking football. Last season, he tightened up the defence, while bringing back the goals once after the defence settled, with Arsenal still having the highest goal difference . However this season it has just been a lot of anti football, time wasting, with very little creativity. Sure the defense looks mostly ok, but attacking it feels poor.
If Arteta doesn’t win the league or CL this year, think at the end of the season, Arsenal should see who else is out there. And if there’s a standout candidate, should seriously consider giving them the job. I don’t know if he actually should be sacked or not it’s a tough one, but it deserves some thought being given now. I do sympathise with unluckiness of injuries, however I’m not sure it’s that acceptable to play a brand of football this bad. And if he had no choice but to play like this, clearly this shows fault in the building of cover for the squad in the midfield and attacking options, with Merino, Jourginho, Havertz (not strengthening midfield) or adequate replacement for Martinelli.
