Arteta has made the team more organised and more difficult to score against, but that alone isn’t enough to get you past being a mid table team. I’ve seen some promise in attack in most of last few games baring this one, however we’ve still got a lot of work to do. Can see how we’re losing too easily to fine margins because we can’t create and score enough on our own. Yes the defence is better, but you’re always going to concede a goal in some games to bad reffing, a mistake, a screamer from 35 yards etc no matter how good you are at the back. to win the games you have to be able to create enough at the other end to override that, and we’re not able to do that consistently which is why we’re still floundering in mid table.
Like I said since our terrible start, we have made some small improvements in attack. Think we probably do need to bring in a new striker, auba looks well off it this season, and lacazette is inconsistent. A forward should be one of the priorities in the summer. For now Arteta really has to work hard on our attack if he wants this team to get any better than mid table
I think our attacking play is improving and I'm confident Arteta has a plan taking shape.
You're right though, that plan certainly doesn't suit Auba. Nor does it suit Bellerin or our MF partnerships.
We need a new ST and RB. We would also benefit from having somebody in MF who can make late runs into the box. We've lacked a goalscoring midfielder for so long.
How bad is our attacking play

It's just the over reliance on crosses which isn't working
100% need a new striker.
