    Great win but our attacking play really needs some work. It was the same Martinelli to Zinchenko or Saka just spamming crosses into the back post. I get that we won but it feels too predictable.

    Why are players so afraid to shoot? Why are players not making runs to create space? Attacking requires a degree of risk, are we instructing players to not take risks?

    That being said, top of the league. COYG.

      Those crosses were actually good, it’s just that Arteta didn’t play Kai since the start. In hindsight, he would have bagged a brace if Arteta started him.

        I’d argue they weren’t that good. I seen too many flying over players and going out.

      Brentford played 5 3 2. And their 5 was very narrow ie all 5 players inside the box. They literally gave us 0 space. Saka had 3 markers on him literally.
