A picture of disarray, Arsenal were not even aware of how they should set up from Ederson’s goal kicks. Utterly clueless, in fact. Mikel Arteta, or any manager, should not be directing traffic from a dead ball at the other end of the pitch.
But here he stood, on the touchline he once prowled as Pep Guardiola’s hugely successful assistant manager, berating his players before Ederson had restarted play.
Saed Kolasinac decided to wander into midfield from one, ignoring the unattended Gabriel Jesus and leaving Kieran Tierney to cover when the wing back was instructed to press higher up the pitch.
