It's gotten us killed consistently on the road as we get caught on breaks (esp since the midfield always crumbles, and Arteta simply doesn't have the pace or strength to win the ball or cut out angles consistently) and it's especially puzzling that we continue to do it when we have a 19 year old converted rw to rb in Bellerin with Ozil in front of him (still zero idea why he isn't playing as the 10, it's his natural position and he doesn't have to provide much cover)...against arguably the 2nd best counter team in the world. It makes absolutely zero sense, and it's the same ole shit of trying to jam a triangle into a square...BvB went right down the flanks whenever they wanted to without any adjustment.

I know you're being facetious about Welbeck but his movement is really good, good enough to get him chances. The problem is the midfield crumbles and gives the ball away which leads to instant transition but rather than deal with that reality and keep the sb's conservative, Wenger continues to act like the midfield is playing at a ball dominant, high level.
