Kieran Gibbs

Get a yard, put a cross in.

What does he do?

He comes back inside.

This is a big theme of what Arsenal have been doing recently.

They've not utilised the width.

They've come inside to areas where Manchester United were strong and look how difficult it is to create any opportunities.

It is tippy-tappy, it is pedestrian, it is not getting the best out of Bukayo Saka and there was just, look at this,

7% of crosses in open play.

Now, if I'm Victor Xocarez, or Gabriel Jesus, or any other striker, I'm going to Mika Lateta and the coaching staff and say, look, you brought me in to score goals.

We have Nani Madweki, we have Martinelli, we have Trossard, we have Bukaya Saka, we have players...

that can put good quality into the box if they're the best at set pieces and they are that means they've got players that can whip in good balls but when you have seven percent of crosses from open play in a match that you've not had any luck trying to play through the midfield in the middle it hasn't worked

And yeah, you might say, well, they've got Harry Maguire, the big guy with the big, he'll head it away.

Yeah, they have.

But if you can take it away from Maguire onto Lissandro Martinez, who's much smaller, you may have noticed, you can then go and attack it.

But if I've got front men that are not getting deliveries coming in and they're making runs, and Arsenal continue to go back into Odegaard, back into Zubimendi, back into Rice, out the other side, back again, if I'm the opponent...

I am comfortable.

I am defending in the width of my penalty box.

I've got numbers back there because I know Arsenal are going to try and break down those little areas, which at times they have been good at.

But when you're in a big game, be it the Champions League or the Premier League, and you're struggling, and I've got the sackers of this world, who Shaq has mentioned, hasn't been at his best.

And one of the reasons is...
