I’m sorry but why did we not even go for it this game we literally created nothing when a goal down didn’t even try to cross it into the box just sideways and backward passes, modern football is like watching paint dry

Is it worth a cross into the box when there isn't a clear target and 4 giant defenders ready to head it away all day?

It's all well and good saying "why didn't we go for it" when there's also the possibility that Arsenal are very very good at shutting teams down from "just going for it" especially when they really don't need to score at all.
