These players came from very different systems that played to their strengths but despite our attack clearly needing a new approach, Arteta insists on shoehorning them into one system.
These players off a clear Plan B that would keep defenses on their toes but we refuse to lean into them.

So what does Arteta do when teams figure us out and stop our attack? Nothing different.
6 years of the same tactics and approach, albeit with much better players now, but it's all the same as it was his first season.
Like-for-like subs and no different systems. Why did we even buy Eze & Gyokeres?
