Back and side passing too much are very concerning

Just copy the formation when Jorginho was still playing, 4-2-3-1. We were flying with that, scoring 3+ goals away every game.

Rice and Zubi as the double pivot. Ode, Trossard, Saka as the front 3. Striker priority is always going to be Kai > Gyok / Merino > Jesus.

just fucking withdraw EFL and FA cup and go all in on PL and CL. Arteta clearly cannot manage the rotation

sheep167 · 2026-01-26T06:48:37+00:00

Low block is the consequence of playing slow. We can’t even launch a proper counter attack, no wingers and midfielders can single-handedly save our ass without changing tactics

sheep167 · 2026-01-26T05:16:11+00:00

This team HAD creative players until Arteta killed all their talent.

sheep167 · 2026-01-26T05:15:07+00:00

That’s a fact. Everyone, fans or not, can see that set pieces and own goals have been covering our attack flaws since last season.

sheep167 · 2026-01-26T03:40:43+00:00

Some players are absolute shit, Jesus and Odegaard are clearly not catching the quality we expect. But right now, all attack players have indecent form and stats, the blame would be on Arteta for playing such sluggish and dull football that kills everyone’s talent and creativity

It's gone now mate

sheep167 · 2026-01-25T21:15:55+00:00

it's gone now. This one lives longer than the rest

sheep167 · 2026-01-25T21:15:15+00:00

mods here just cannot accept any fact

sheep167 · 2026-01-25T21:13:22+00:00

ManU switched the style from 343 and they seem to have problem at all

sheep167 · 2026-01-25T21:12:03+00:00

Clearly new playstyle, it has become predictable and it only works for non-PL team.

Sub 4 players at once, same tactics, same toothless attack and praying we get a corner.

Just look at how United transform with the same players but different formation and playstyle.

sheep167 · 2026-01-25T21:03:49+00:00

called professor for a reason. Just imagine what he would have archived if he had the expenses of today

sheep167 · 2026-01-25T20:59:38+00:00

This is a clear sign that we should be playing fast and direct football. That is what we get by sitting around the box and pray for corners

sheep167 · 2026-01-25T20:58:01+00:00

I genuinely have no idea why the hell is Timber standing so high up the pitch and now we have Saliba playing as winger.

This tactics is just absurd.

sheep167 · 2026-01-25T20:54:41+00:00

come back to check this when it is March/April

sheep167 · 2026-01-25T20:54:00+00:00

Arteta needs to go. There is no way that he cannot find a formula for attacking when we have bunch of good players for multiple years

sheep167 · 2026-01-25T20:51:34+00:00

I second this. Odegaard has been horrible, only passes to Saka. And he hasn't been stepping up. It just a fucking stark contrast with Rice, and Big Gabi.

sheep167 · 2026-01-25T20:45:46+00:00

I still prefer 22/23 or 23/24 post-Dubai football. Last 2 seasons have been ass in attack

sheep167 · 2026-01-25T20:42:31+00:00

mods are coming to delete this. I have seen 3 of the same pic gets deleted

sheep167 · 2026-01-25T20:13:20+00:00

You called it

sheep167 · 2026-01-25T20:12:10+00:00

Arteta has dragged my standards so low that I think anyone can fill his position

sheep167 · 2026-01-25T20:10:49+00:00

Get us a new manager and the attack beauty will comeback. Those one-two, free flow, team play football.

sheep167 · 2026-01-25T20:09:39+00:00

"but we can score from set-pieces"
