 Arsenal head to Villa Park

So far then we’ve

1. Identified the weaknesses of Arsenal along with examples.
2. Signed some players to cover those weaknesses
3. Devised some tactical systems to ‘mix it up’ but keep in the Arsenal spirit and philosophy of playing attractive football. I’m not exaggerating when I say that my teams on Football Manager are based around one principle: outscoring the opposition. That doesn’t mean having a shoddy defence and leaking goals in the quest forward, it means knowing when to retreat and when to attack.
