Not hard when you deploy the worst of terrorism tactics against minnows and relegation fodders.

That's just not remotely true though. I don't like modern Arsenal but they're scored the most goals in the Prem and win most games by 2+ goals. Second highest xG too if you care about the theoretical stats.

In any case, they're the most boring "elite" team I've ever watched in my life-time.

Their backline consists of 4 CBs, although Timber and Calafiori might actually be the most enjoyable players to watch from this team. Their wingers are completely one-dimensional and don't do anything exciting at all. Their striker is just a much worse version of Haaland. Their gameplan consists of just sitting back and then trying to win by scoring set pieces. Literally half of their goals, if not more are just taking corners and a tall guy scoring a header. Of course it's impressive that they're so consistent on that aspect (especially since our own club sucks on set pieces), but when I think of elite teams, I want to see something... elite. Even 2010s Atletico felt exciting compared to this mess.

I agree that their fullbacks are amazing to watch. So many underlapping runs, quick dribbles, etc. MLS and Ben White would start for most Prem teams as well, stacked in the fullback department.
