One of my Arteta gripes is how he lingers on specific missed chances. It’s human, but lends itself to a style in which we try to orchestrate too few, but perfect, West Hammy goals, and then nail every one. That’s not realistic. The objective should be to create so much that you forget the misses.

Gabriel Jesus today: 1 pass completed of 6 attempted, just 8 touches. Bottled that opportunity. It's very hard to see how we get a tune out of him, especially when he plays without any drive.

With him in this shape, and Raheem Sterling apparently unusable, I think a January signing is imperative.
