I remember teams, and there were quite a few of them, that won the championship and played defensively. But I don’t remember a single champion that played dominantly and attackingly, but went into defense when they took the lead. Arsenal has a tradition of this in big matches.

Yesterday against Liverpool, they didn’t create anything while they were leading. They rolled back, wasted time. Although they could have stepped on their throats and mercilessly finished them off. But Arteta allowed Liverpool to get back into the game (Slot and Sobosali also tried), feel comfortable and fight back. In recent seasons, Arsenal missed the championship by 6 and 3 points – maybe those points symbolized a lack of rapacity and courage

Arsenal's reluctance to kill off games with an attacking approach has cost them dearly in the past. They need to adopt a more ruthless mentality to take full advantage of their opportunities.
