This is the thing though, we don't have to do all that. The first 2 matches he showed he could win duels in that position. He's made some good runs into the box that just haven't quite been found. He's put some decent balls in that people haven't gotten on the end of. I would prefer to see if he can play in last year's system with Zinchenko and Gabriel in their correct positions first. If he's still struggling then give Rice that role and play Partey at the 6 but I still don't think he's actually been put in position to truly succeed in the attacking phase and everyone played dreadful football today except stunningly Vieira.Definitely not all him as you say.
But what we have to do to get him into midfield alongside Ødegaard while also (trying at least) to maintain shape, has really ****ed us...kinda more Arteta's fault that Kai's, in that sense.
If we had to sell Xhaka in the summer, we should have replaced him with more of a proven 8 in midfield.
It is frustrating that we keep giving away such cheap goals. The first goal was absolute rubbish to concede. The second from the corner was also pretty poor.
Yup in back 4 Gabby would be thereSaka was passing where he thought our player should be. Total muscle memory.

Missed the game but i'd like to see one of those "every touch" highlights on youtube for Vieira as I heard he was sensational.For anyone that was lucky enough to miss this game and wants to watch it to see how we did...
...there, saved you 100 minutes to do something more enjoyable with your life
Seems like a player struggling for confidence as one might with an entire fanbase rooting for them to fail. I agree, he does need to be more assertive. As far as Vieira, I have no clue wtf that was today but if he can replicate it then we've found something fantastic. Nobody can say they were expecting it.I feel like he got himself into good positions today and you can see the IQ and technical skills and holdup play but it feels like there’s very little intensity or directness in his game. Very casual. He’s talented but he isn’t a late-career Bergkamp who can just jog around being a genius. Needs a firecracker up his ass like we saw from Vieira today.
Lol its not Tets fault Havertz is **** but the fans fault.Seems like a player struggling for confidence as one might with an entire fanbase rooting for them to fail.

So much has been said but today, only Nketia and Vieira can be pleased with themselves. It’s going to be hard to pick up 14 players who seem to have no idea what's going on and I'm struggling with the formation given the personnel we have trying to execute it. Now it's just beat Utd and go away with your countries.
Probably had something to do with the club handing out a free goal inside a minute again as well.Atmosphere was dead. This new ticketing system i guess. Seems the club are determined to kill everything good about last season.
It's amazing how players' legends grow on the bench. We've conceded stupid corners like that with Gabriel on the pitch. He played almost every minute last season and we conceded plenty of ridiculous soft goals with him out there. The players have an issue with focus and finishing matches off. This is evident regardless of personnel. There's something wrong with the mentality with a lead. It's too negative and defensive. We need to keep playing until the game is truly over.We should play back 4 with Gabriel, play double pivot of Partey and Rice. Get some stability and start winning games before trying to be too cute. We should be playing way more fluently for the talent we have and win games against bottom table sides more comfortably.
We won't concede that goal from the corner kick with Gabriel on the field. Arteta can be really weird sometimes I just don't get it
I prefer centre backs who dominate their own box، I don’t think we conceded a goal last season from a set piece with both saliba and Gabriel on the pitch tbf you might want to check thatIt's amazing how players' legends grow on the bench.

F**k of Arteta. 2-1 up against 10 men and he takes of Ødegaard and brings on Jorginho- loser mentalitySitting back with 11 v 10 yeah u deserve it

..Crazy to break up such good partnership Crazy to break up the white/saka partnership and Ødegaard’s game is also suffering without Partey to feed him between the lines، however Rice had a very accomplished game.
Agree we can't close a game even if we score on 89 minutes the team always looks like it will concede. How do you win a title like that?
