Arsenal are terrible

Arteta is too afraid of conceding a goal. It's no accident that the team struggles to score goals in the second half. The dumbass calling the shots keeps deciding that he's more interested in protecting a 1 goal lead than he is in seeing it become a 2 goal lead.

Demonstrated perfectly in his substitution of Lokonga for Saka at H/T. He didn't want to score another he just wanted them to sit on the 1-0. Anyone who knows this team knew the game was lost as soon as they saw that. MAtinelli on instead and continued attackiing emphasis of the first half, we win the game.

Arteta proving yet again that he's utterly clueless when it comes to just HOW to use this group of players.

Thought we'd lose today so I'm pretty happy tbh.

I was surprised in the way you played. Palace blocked the centre of the pitch which mean you should have played through the wings but the passing to the wide areas was too slow.

It was the right decision to bring on Lokonga Partey pretty much had to play on his own in there Odegaard was giving any sort of protection to the defence. Odegaard should of come off as well. The problem is there is no style of play, no tactics of any kind. He pretty much lumped every attacking player he had into the starting eleven and just had them playing defensively. Just doesn't make sense.

We spent the whole of last season building up play from the wings. It doesn't work because none of our strikers are abe to finish a cross.

Palace 3-0 Spurs
Arsenal 3-1 Spurs

Spurs 5th
Arsenal 12th, but could easily be 14th

But you keep spouting, whilst we keep staying above you.

Too many players in this team with a chip on their shoulder. Go 1-0 up and then play the majority of the game like a training exercise. Make no effort until 2-1 down.

That's Arteta's doing, he pulls them all back when we go ahead. Watch him Fri on the touchline, game'll start the same way and he'll leave everyone alone until the other side get a countering break. He's up out his seat yelling and waving at players to get back or stay back. Dude literally kills his own teams momentum and invites the opposition to get bolder. An invite they happily accept.

I think Arteta may still be suffering from heavy trauma at being left beaten and alone in no man's land as the Arsenal DM so many times. Any time the opposition counter attacks he gets a flashback of being run over by a young Fernandinho. So end to end football action is just too much for his fragile psyche to deal with.
