Mikel Arteta still has a lot of work to do to restore Arsenal to its former glory, as demonstrated by his team's lackluster performance in Leeds (0-0) on Sunday on Matchday 9 of the English Championship.
Abused and expressionless, the Gunners have lost two points in a promoted and are stuck in the second half of the Premier League table.
They were saved twice by the post and once by the bar, and do not seem to have recovered from their severe rout at home against Aston Villa (0-3) before the international break.
The formation of Marcelo Bielsa would have deserved to open the scoring in the first period, and controlled most of the match, particularly after the exclusion of Arsenal striker Nicolas Pépé (51st), guilty of a stroke. head on Ezgjan Alioski.
Attempts by Stuart Dallas (64th), Rodrigo (76th, 80th), Ian Carlo Poveda (83rd), Patrick Bamford (87th) and the former Rennais Raphina (90 + 5) made the Londoners tremble.
The draw is therefore unfair for the promoted, who drops to 14th place in the standings.
Arsenal, who only have the seventeenth attack in the Premier League (9 goals in 9 matches), were hardly dangerous.
Mikel Arteta's desire to stabilize the defensive organization tends to dry up the Gunners' collective expression over the months.
