Arsenal are fortunate to have a goalkeeper as great as Raya who was able to ward off an Atalanta player's penalty kick and followed it up with a classy save when blocking the rebound. If it wasn't for him who performed brilliantly under the crossbar, perhaps Arsenal would have lost at Atalanta headquarters. Yes, maybe Arteta prefers to play cautiously to prepare his team for another Big Match against Manchester City in the EPL. Arsenal back line plays very well but was not matched by the midfielder and front lines, perhaps this is a lesson for Arteta who does not want to bring in a new striker at the start of the season.
Arteta has no choice as there are many games in the champions league and he's going to have his opportunity to win other games but he couldn't sacrifice losing this game against Manchester city for him to win against Atalanta. Drawing was a better choice and it was the game plan Arteta had for Arsenal from the begining of the match. Both team tried but I wasn't enjoying the game as they lacked goals. I thought Atalanta was going to win but the goalkeeper had an awesome game and it kept Arsenal in the game. Saka not taking his chances when it came was annoying to me as I thought a player like him is supposed to convert his chances to win the game for Arsenal.
