I think the only reason we played a back 3 with Xhaka at CB, is that Arteta intends to play him there for the United game. Thus using the first half as a warm up
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If Luiz is injured.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Dont think so.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Why not? He has done before, did on Sunday, and did tonight.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Think he started him there to give our remaining CB's a breather knowing he wouldnt have to do much.
Mustafi needed some minutes tonight

...that might cause manu some trouble
Seriously though. Is no-one else not a little bit annoyed that we didn't go for the jugular at 3-0? Why not give everyone a bit more confidence and really put them to the sword? Get more of our players on the scoresheet? I know it's difficult when they literally had 10 men in their own box at times, and a referee who gave them literally every decision, but 25 shots and 6 on target is extremely poor. We should have done so much better on that front.
We've battered teams much better than tonight's opposition.

Yes said that earlier but because we won we aren’t allowed to point this out
It isn't just that though, Nketiah was shocking tonight despite his goal. Missed 3 very good chances. Nelson too was more interested in taking players on and showcasing his skills then trying to kill the game off. Pepe scored a wonderful goal, but had a very average game otherwise, which is worrying considering the opposition we faced.
We're just not a clinical/ruthless enough side when Auba isn't starting up front.
Our finishing as a team needs to be miles better than it is right now.
The problem is that there is no actual structure to how we build attacks
Our 3 sources of goals are
Set pieces
Defensive errors
Wondergoals
That’s it. I can only think of Saka’s goal this season that came from productive attacking build up play.
Keep in mind Arteta is often throwing these players together and it takes time for them to adjust to each other. When was the last time Eddie played? This is why they look out of touch. Its why we started to play better the longer the game continued and just when they were getting a bit of momentum Arteta started changing it again. As I pointed out to the Spurs fan, these games are not easy just like Spurs found out.
When was the last time Eddie played?

Sunday.

I won’t keep it in mind. All of these players have played together. And the opposition was DUNDALK. Are you telling me that there is not enough cohesion and quality in the team to actually carve out just ONE clear cut chance? And even if we were to dismiss the game tonight, what about all our previous games this season?
as I was talking abt eddie's finishing think it was obvious what I was trying to say dj. But thanks again.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
If you are talking abt the first 30 mins. We did carve out chances. Eddie missed an easy one and there were loads of times where we were trying to walk the ball into the net.
Arteta is playing an extra defender. Its not a 4-2-3-1 where midfield can take control and a creative player can takeover the game like cesc or bergkamp used to.
We are literally playing the ball out wide on either wing and not through the middle in a 3-4-3. That means we get into crossing positions with usually one player in the box. And it not going to change until Arteta changes formation, I don't care who we buy.
Either way, the opposition tonight were absolutely rubbish. Their best playe/main goalscorer couldn't even cut it at League Two side Mansfield Town ffs. This is the level of team we were up against.
Maybe when it went to 3-0, we went back into 1st gear and just wanted to see the game out without any injuries or didn't want to tire ourselves out when the game was effectively over. Maybe we just couldn't find a way of breaking them down because the players weren't good enough too. I don't really care what the reason is.
The facts are we aren't efficient/ruthless enough in the final third and it will cost us in the latter games of the Europa if we don't become more clinical.
