Finding The Right Formation
Arteta needs to find Arsenal’s identity fast by settling on one formation. Including the Community Shield win over Liverpool at the start of the season, the Gunners have played 17 games. They’ve played four at the back eight times and three at the back nine times.
Some of that is down to certain personnel not being available but Arteta’s tendency to tinker makes it very hard for the team to play in a certain style. The Spaniard must find some consistency in the system he plays.
