The departures of Hleb and Flamini affected Arsenal's creative abilities in the midfield that were displayed in last year's EPL season, thus culminating in the poor performances against smaller teams who like parking their defense.
Arsenal's playing style is entertaining to watch. That is why many Gooners support them. But AW needs to recognize that in a competition like the EPL, points obtained are more important than the playing style. I am not saying that the Gunners should win in an ugly way. They must blend their sexy football with success in terms of goals scored to get maximum points of champions.
AW should strengthen the midfield with creative players who can change the game during the time of need...like when facing defensive opponents.
He should encourage players to shoot outside the box in addition to learning to utilize corner kicks and set pieces—other options of scoring when playing against physical opponents.
Playing the same formation against every opponent and lack of creativity in the current Arsenal midfield is the reason why I assert that the Gunners are toothless against defensive opponents. The Bolton, Portsmouth, and Stoke City matches are good examples to justify my personal opinion.
