Sky Sports pundit Theo Walcott believes Arsenal have lost their way in their identity, becoming so obsessed with set-pieces that they have forgotten about the importance of effective, เล่น UFABET ผ่านมือถือ สะดวกทุกที่ ทุกเวลา beautiful passing.

Arsenal have brought in a seasoned set-piece coach in Nicolas Jower to help head coach Mikel Arteta. who have help the team score goals from a variety of set-pieces in recent years .

However, Walcott the former Arsenal player believes Coach Jouer’s trick should be more of an auxiliary weapon. Or a trump card rather than being promoted as a primary method.

Until we forget the identity of the fast-paced, beautiful, fluid and efficient passing football that helped the team dominate the league in the 2000s.

“My concern about Arsenal is that they are more obsesse with set-pieces. With the fluid football they are known for the former Gunners star told the truth. After their 2-0 Carabao Cup semi-final first leg defeat to Newcastle. 

“We have neglected it.”

“The second half was a very boring performance on the pitch. It was far from the kind of football that is quick, beautiful, fluid and creates a lot of chances.” 

“I think it was because of a lack of confidence. I think there was a lot of nerves on the pitch,” 

“Arsenal had no shots on target in the second half. It shows you can’t be effective without Bukayo Saka.”

“The team is missing the pace, they miss Saka so much – the quality is missing and it looks like they won’t get anything.” 

The next challenge is the FA Cup third round at home to Manchester United (12 Jan ), a team that plays with a three- man central defence system , but when defending, there are five players in the way.
