5) Reluctance to change tactics
Wenger has created a wonderful brand of football that is very pleasing to the eye. It is definitely an attacking an entertaining style of play that has won over several fans. But something we come to see is how Arsenal’s strategy doesn’t change too much against different opposition.
The Frenchman has known to be adamant in sticking to his guns and that has cost him on many an occasion. Teams have understood the way Arsenal play and set up against their possession tactics.
Jose Mourinho has been a constant thorn in Arsenal’s side.The Portuguese has always known how to play against the Gunners and has never lost a single game against Arsenal in the Premier League.
Arsene Wenger’s tactics are very predictable and big teams like Chelsea and Manchester United get the better of the Gunners more often than not. Teams that have an organized defensive unit have been able to find regular success against the style of play and the manager refuses to change his philosophy when it’s needed.
