Arsenals tactics seem to be based mainly on the set piece.
When we went down to 10 men, they didn't adapt, their constant falling over at the slightest touch, taking ages over deciding which set piece to play actually played into our hands, it gave us time to re-group, organise defensively and keep them out.
They were literally facing a wall of defenders, and a keeper playing a blinder.
Tactically they had no answer, Sterling proved just how ineffective his is, Havaertz being played in a role he's not suited to, and Rice ending up in Ugarte's pocket.
Is Arteta a fraud? one covid trophy, millions spent, and nothing, any other club (including United) would have sacked him by now.
