Are the 'shackles' back on at Arsenal?
Kai Havertz playing for Arsenal

BBC Radio London's sport's team have been discussing the state of Arsenal's attacking form, following their 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest.

"At the start of the season it seemed like the shackles were off, but now I think we've reverted back," said present Jamal Fyfield. "I wonder why that is?

"I wonder if [Mikel] Arteta knows his best team. He has picked the same starting XI numerous times, but is that the best team to go out there and give a performance?

"Arteta is a defence-first coach in my opinion, and there are certain players in the side that play because defensively they start the press so early and so high up the pitch. That is the reason why I think [Kai] Havertz is in there.

"It's about trying to come in to games with confidence. The confidence does not seem as high as it should be."
