Arteta Criticised as Arsenal Scrape Through to UCL Semis with Dull 0-0 Draw

The second leg at the Emirates saw just two shots on target for Arsenal. Fans and pundits lambasted Mikel Arteta’s cautious tactics, labelling the game “boring” and questioning how supporters endure this style. This defensive display follows domestic disappointments. Despite leading the Premier League, Arsenal lost the EFL Cup Final and were stunned in the FA Cup quarter-final by second-tier Southampton. Critics fear the risk-averse approach is stifling their attacking flair.
