Yes I agree sometimes our gameplay is too slow and so predictable (including yesterday's 1st half).
Lack of direct runner (aka Theo), player that make a run from behind (Ramsey) and a pacey striker are the main reason to that problem.
You also need to consider that we are without 3 of our first choice offensive players for quite some time now, which I think would completely change the game had they all play.
And if everyone is fit (which never happens unfortunately), I think our squad can match other top teams in the BPL.
Add 1 super striker and a true defensive midfielder, and we are ready to be a real challenger in the UCL.
It's just weird that Wenger didn't invest in those pacey players since Invisible era. This pacey thing is what Wenger famous for back in the 90's and early 2000. Now most of top teams have this kind of players.
The likes of Ljungberg, Reyes, Henry, Overmars and Wiltord are non existent except Walcott.
Current crop of players more to orchestra player, like to pass rather than run behind defender.
