Let’s get some silverware first before critiquing the style of play. Rather play ugly and win than play beautiful empty handed.
Nah, we can critique their style of play and it's effectiveness. We have an issue with finishing. We can't gl9ss over that.

I don't mind winning ugly, but I am not going to close my eyes and pretend we are OK.

Oh believe me, I’ve been Arteta’s harshest critic. But a Chelsea fan whose glory years were mainly under a defensive Jose, cannot have the audacity to make such comments. Especially considering their current season.

And Arsenal have been guilty of playing beautiful football with minimal returns. I’m happy to take the ugly route if it leads to major trophies. But yes, the striker situation does need to be addressed.

When your on a winning drought you take any win you can.

Once you actually start picking up points you can start worrying about style of play.

We battered West Ham and should have been around 3 up again Pool in the FA cup by half time. We haven't even looked that bad recently just haven't managed to score.

Only played bad at Fulham.

The other matches—both Liverpool, west Ham, Villa—we played well but couldn’t finish.

Martinelli would be pretty easy to mark imo. He almost never switches up his runs or dribbles to byline. Get your angles right and have some pace he’s done

Oh ya, and his left foot is non existent…he’s never going to shoot on his left

“Martinelli, runs at the defenders with his blistering pace. Gives the ball away/nothing comes from it.”

Apply that commentary to 99% of games he plays.
