The interesting thing is we are constantly told that we face low blocks and it is so difficult to break it down. Yet our home form is generally excellent, our away form disappointing.
I think we generally do better against low blocks. It gives us control (which we love) and means we can generate constant pressure- and, of course, win corners.
Arteta needs to have a long think about why our approach to games is so stifling to our creative players. We've seen them all struggle. Odegaard is a shadow of the player he was, Martinelli has struggled over the last couple of years. Now even Saka is struggling.
I'm afraid that this style of football has hit a ceiling. I dont think you can get much better from here without a fundamental change.
