Last night the atmosphere at the Emirates Stadium was one of the most toxic it has ever been. So much was going from VAR to Xhaka’s substitution. With all this drama, one thing must not be forgotten. That’s the football being played by Arsenal.
Dry, bland and unseasoned. That is how I describes the way Arsenal are currently playing. There is no creativity and no flair. Frankly, I just don’t know what type of football it is. Are they an attacking side or a defensive side? Are they meant to sit back, soak up pressure and then attack on the counter? Are they meant to build pressure by keeping the ball and try to break down the opposition? Are they a pressing side, pressing from the front and then attack directly, when winning the ball? I just don’t know. There is nothing to Arsenal. There is only one man that can answer these questions, and that's Unai Emery.
