Ceballos doesn't assist and doesn't score
---
Has he been given the chance to play further forward yet? With Partey added to the midfield there is no reason why we can't play a back four and have Ceballos moved further forward then we can see what he can do.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We already know what he can do there when on point. He showed it early in Europa games when playing with the youngsters. Remember when Freddie had the youngsters still playing flowing Arsenal football but the first team looked like they didn't even know what that was. He obviously settled in and got familiar among his own age group and it showed when they played.
In the first team, at the time, it was his lack familiarity with his attackers and a diabolical defensive platform behind him that made him struggle. Now familiar with all his teammates and their individual tendencies and with what should quickly become a Xhaka/Partey wall behind him. You'll see a very different level of performance in the attacking MF spot. He either gets 3 lively runners or 2 and a pivot, right in front of him. Either way, knowing his players now, he'll be able to pull strings in the same way Cesc used to.
Arteta is playing players out of position, similar to what Arteta was doing
We had Willian playing centrally and Eddie on the right in the end

That was just a "Sod it, sling 'em all on," set of subs
Wb2 just literally spouts shiitie 24/7. Always tons and tons of words but 0 sense. Quite annoying to wade through the trash on every article
The truth is that a number of our attacking options (Pepe, Lacazette & Nketiah) are just not up to the standard - with Martinelli injured Aubameyang is our only top quality striker.
Have always said it but our front 3 are decent individual players but are useless when played together.
Zero chemistry and absolute no link up play
Also, why were we reluctant to pay the money for Mahrez a few years back but happy to spend 72M on a one hit season flop from France

Because the owner is a tight who doesn't want to pay transfer fees, obviously. Same as the answer for why we don't get all the players we miss out on.
When we begged, like paupers with a Championship club budget, to pay over 5 years. They told us to get stuffed. The ONLY reason we're paying Pepe's price tag is because we've been able to extend paying for him. If they'd wanted the money up front or over 2 or 3 seasons, we wouldn't have got him.
This is not the last pathetic performance Arsenal fans will endure this season, especially against top 6 six teams.
However, Arteta is quoted as saying that he doesn't like losing. That has got to warm the hearts of all Gunner fans,
No energy, no sense of urgency, no creativity in this performance!

There in lay the problem. Playing like this, we can still probably win enough games for him not to feel that feeling so much he can't live with it. We need him to hate playing sh !t, boring, flair lacking football, JUST as mach as he hates losing or we could be stuck with these snorefests all season.

You dunce or just hard-headed? Lack of creativity is why we failed to score. But Leno being skittish and unsure of himself in this system is why we CONCEDED. He SHOULD have cleaned up after Bellerin's error, not compounded it, leading to the goals as he did.
Since it's actually the goal conceded which is the critical stat responsible for the loss. Both the MF issue AND the suspect parts of Leno's game, in this system need highlighting and fixing. Changing the MF but keeping the 3, will still see us concede goals we don't have to. Stop reading it as Leno bashing. I'm actually trying to HELP our keeper here. We are playing a system which fully exposes every single weakness he has. Why make his life difficult and cost oursleves goals if we needn't
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Really? You must be some special type of dummy or have never played the game. Tell me...how often do you see a keeper catch a shot from 5 years away? There is minimal time to react and think about anything other than stopping that initial shot. If you want to point fingers, look at Bellerin for getting done like a schoolboy and then Gabriel for not being aware that Dterling was free just outside the 6 yard box. The fact that you continue to hate on Leno shows some ill advised vendetta.

How is saying we need to switch to a four to stop exposing the weaknesses he has so badly, hating Leno or having a vendetta? I already said the first mistake was Bellerin's and I never said Leno had to catch it did I? I've also already said numerous times in different articles he's a super talented keeper (or words to that effect). As for Gabriel, shame we got rid of the keeper who'd have read that and given the heads up before Leno has learnt to, eh.
Pretending his flaws aren't there won't help anything. Making him play with a 3, when he doesn't have the confidence (understandably) or the ability yet to do it, AIN'T helping him either. Would rather see him behind a four looking as good as he actually is instead of nervous and sloppy like he is in a 3. People with a vendetta, don't usually go around trying to help the person said vendetta is against. Demanding things that will make their target look great and be loved by everyone
