@o0hmhu@racingxcv@ElMagoCF4v2 Time doesn't help matters if the coach is not willing to adapt and learn. It doesn't take time for a managers identity to be imprinted from the onset. Right now, there's no manager on the market on Arteta's level except Hansi Flick. So it's pointless sackig Xabi.
@itssujan_s@F0NT4NA_ Except Arteta didn't stick to what was clearly not working. 2022/2023 was the turning point, he changed the system not the personnel. He adapted, learned, and wasn't stubborn like Amorim or Xabi.
@kelvmasai@AlexisIsKavkas The problem is you think sarri football is about personnel. He HAD a system set on stone, a footballing identity you can see from the first day of preseason. That was in the past, right now sarri ain't interested in a lil of that no more.
@waxcube3@ElMagoCF4v2 I worry about the attack more. If we were capable of creating high quality chances consistently, maybe we could have killed the game early on
@racingxcv@ElMagoCF4v2 Nope. Ever wonder why Arteta's defensive solidity remains solid no matter who is available. Saliba injured no problem. Gabriel out? No challenge. They work by principles not personnel.
@TheFifthBlue@Statford_Bridge I tell you what, give Arteta this exact same squad and he will do better defensively than Xabi. System>Personnel anytime of the day.
@Optimus_Dracula Omor, I think we're not dangerous enough on the ball. Teams will not commit so much players forward if they know how much danger you can create up front. Our attack was futile for the most part of the game.
@futbolverdict@Crown__001 It's not about the formation as much. It's in the dynamics, the situational awareness, patterns and identity that should already be visible but it's not there. This, is a coaching problem.
@officially_bans@Fvruq_Original I said it already time does not fix these things. If only Xabi can learn from Arteta. There is cracks in his tactical philosophy.
@Teems_GH Clearly. But we lacked his profile in midfield today and we paid dearly for it. I have no faith whatsoever in what Alonso is doing at Chelsea.
@officially_bans@Fvruq_Original I know what I'm talking about and it's not age. When something is compounding that's different. We're not any better than last year based off what we played against Arsenal today.
@Fvruq_Original@officially_bans We need a total reset. The difference between arsenal and Chelsea is clear asf. It starts with the manager, it's difficult to find a manager like Arteta in today's market.
