We still play good football, score lots of goals + maximising set pieces is great, but our inability to break down the same defensive systems is frustrating.

Some of that is down to basics: distances, speed of pass etc - but other times it's because we lack individual talent to break games open.

I didn't watch the game live yesterday (have caught up) but those type of away, mid-block games where we struggle to create and rely on tiny margins, feel like a consistent theme under Arteta.

Ultimately it boils down to how our ineffective our attack is, both from a tactical + talent standpoint.
