Hi guys, I have a tactic with Arsenal that I am using which doesn't have any stand out flaws to me however it is shocking. With Arsenal being higher in quality than every other team in the premier league besides maybe man city, you'd expect them to win most game. I will post my tactic below and could someone let me know if there are any points which stand out to them as wrong with my tactic please?

counter - easiest way to keep possession and not rush things.
Slighty higher d-line (just to push up a little higher due to counters deep d-line)
close down more - simple if we win the ball back higher up, the closer we are to their goal
normal tempo - it is quite low on counter so therefore should keep the ball easily
Width is left on default
balanced/standard fluidity (forgot what the game calls this, the structured, fluid etc)
shorter passing - my players are good enough to be patient with the ball and keep possession
the only ti's I have given is the goalkeeper to distribute short to the defence, rolling it out, top three attacking players to shoot less and the two inside forwards to sit narrower. This is because I do not want my team wasting chances when the players have the ability to make a better chance and also I have quick attacking wing backs who can both cover the flanks therefore the inside forwards can take a narrower starting position meaning they can be quicker to exploit the space left by the false 9. I see them taking up the position in between a striker and a winger in the half spaces.
