Can somebody explain to me how we are so slow and poor, yet when we go to 10men or it's the last 10-15mins we start to play nice intricate and attacking football? Shows we can play fast attacking football but seems to me like something holds them back all game or they are just lazy.

For me it feels like with 11 we are waiting for someone else in the team to do something, hence constant passing backwords and sideways. and then when down to 10 men or last 10 mins they realise they have to do something, so all remember they can try and influence a game personally instead of passing the responsibility.

No, for me, it is a sign of your players not playing for you. This happened to Mourinho in his last tenure at Chelsea.
You could easily see how Hazard and Willian tried pushing forward once they are chasing the game.
When the players do not want to play for you, they act this way. And the coach will continue to think that they are trying their best.
It is just a matter of time, and Arteta will be gone. Like it or not, Arsenal won't sign players in January that will turn like Bruno Fernández of Man United.

Yet Its funny how we always struggle against 10 men though. It’s because we only play too straight, and too through the middle. If we do finally go wide it’s so slow it allows teams to defend narrow and drift across, just like a rugby team. We did it for the final seasons of Wengers reign, and nothing has changed. When playing against 10 men they always say make the pitch as big as possible, but for us, we should try doing it against 11 as well.

Come on guys "any chance we can get rid of PEA"
His Mum is not well, I for one know for a fact that I personally found it impossible to concentrate on anything when my father was at end of life. I watch him and you can see his heads elsewhere, but unlike a normal job he's got the whole weight of expectation of every Gooner in the world to win us matches, I personally don't think with that added pressure I could have done a good job during that time.
PEA is the best striker we have had since the king Henry, give him some grace and don't be so quick to jump on the get him out band wagon.

Saka has been outstanding I just pray that he doesn't get inticed away during the summer with a lot of giant teams going through rebuilds.
Fingers crossed Saka is a gooner through and through and wants to retire with us.
