TBH with the players we have the only way we can be effective is as a counter attacking team on the break, this has been fooked up with Cazorla out.
Yesterday we had plenty of pocession but did nothing with it, reverting back to old style of play. When we play like this without creative midfielders you might as well not start with Ozil or Walcott IMO as neither can come deeper and make things happen. Walcott because he is limited in skill, Ozil because his somewhat lazy and weak on the ball. Also it drags sanchez out of his forward position as he comes deeper and deeper to try and make things happen.
This team plays much better at pace and on counter attack to play to our strengths. We definitely were not setup for this yesterday and the lack of creativity made most of our game fairly redundent.
We had no pace yesterday whatsoever.
Stop moaning ffs, you can;t always play great, there will be days like this for every other team in PL. Tjhe main thing is you will aways finish above Spurs who are likely to finish from 5th to 8th place this eason.
I'm moaning because every single away game against top sides the same thing happens. Wenger does nothing to rectify it as well. Very frustrating
It's true we do seem to get overrun in these games
Away from home.
Teams have gone away from sitting deep and hitting us on the counter to high press and being physical which we have no answer for
You always seem to play better in Manchester than you do in Trafford
He should have played xhaka and iwobi instead of elneny and ramsey
