I just think Arteta has become too cautious. I think that at times Arsenal have damaged their own momentum with all the time wasting stoppages. They get a goal up then resort to feigning injury and having coaching sessions on the field. Arteta distracts his own players with his antics. Pep used to be the same but has become better as he has calmed down. Arteta is strangling his own team.Agreed but I wouldn't take the game we played vs the Rags as indicative of how we will play for most games. We were as bad is it was possible to be (but still beat the 'we're back' United team lol).
I think everyone needs to be super focused from the off - lots of talk about our nightmare starting fixtures but playing at Anfield and then home to City within a couple week timespan might concentrate the mind.
Be in it by end March is vital.
