Wouldn't say its over coaching it's just rubbish coaching/tactics. One decent 45 minutes last week doesn't really change the fact that Arteta is out of his depth.

We've got two players to play in central midfield it's not their job to provide constant cover for the fallback that's the winger's job in front of Tierney.

That's an awfully harsh assessment of a squad that's still getting to know each other.

We basically replaced about half the side over the summer. Which means that Arteta has effectively had to rip everything up and start all over again from last season. There's still plenty of football left to play before the players even begin to build partnerships on the pitch.

Partey and Lokonga had barely played together as a unit before today.

We should have played 433 and attack them not just playing like a small team.

That's a good one, can't believe it hasn't been thought of by anyone at the elite level.

Arteta needs times. 3 seasons isn’t enough

Doesn't matter who you replace Arteta with.

Every season is going to be like Groundhog Day for any Arsenal manager if we keep allowing Edu to make wholesale changes to the squad every summer.

Didn’t witness any coaching today.

Edu isn't making the changes though, Arteta is. Arteta is the one selling players and demanding replacements. Edu's job is to help facilitate it.

Barely motivating the players get out of bed, setting up to play the Doughnut of Sadness on repeat for the majority of his tenure, freezing out promising young players and pandering to proven dross. Yep all Edu

Arteta and others have said loads of times he wants to control every aspect of what every player does every game. You only just realised he over coaches the players?

Doughnut of sadness I’ll use that one
