Opinion: Has Arteta Killed Arsenal’s Identity As The Title Slips Away?

That is six Aprils and only one win, the one against Sporting Lisbon . The criticism to play better football was deemed an agenda, but results have now caught up. The constant mistakes of the manager have come back to hurt us at the end of the season once again.

Arteta simply does not rotate his squad enough. He says that he needs his best players fit at the end, but he runs them into the ground. Saka has played so many full matches where it was not necessary, and now he is out.

Instead, we have Noni, who too often runs the ball out of play when he receives it. A worrying mentality on and off the pitch But the psychology of the team is by far the most concerning aspect. It is basic knowledge that when you are behind, you hurry and do not waste time.

Instead, we take too long over throw ins and corners when we are 2-1 down against Bournemouth in a title race. The players do not even sprint to collect the ball. This behaviour suggests fear, uncertainty, and a lack of desire.
