And what are we seeing from Arteta that looks like he is the man to bring us sustained success? Our defence has only improved because we no longer attack. It's easy as a boxer not to get hit if you never throw a punch and open up.
If you believe all the players signed here because of Arteta your naive.
One thing I would love to have heard was the conversation between Arteta and Auba. Artetas project he sold to him. Had he said we are going to spend the next year or two focusing on defence and your gonna be hugging the touch line one week or playing as a target man as all we will do is punt hopeful balls up front as we wont commit midfielders to create I wonder would he be playing somewhere different now. I expect so.
- We haven't conceded any goals from set pieces in the league this season. Only team to do so.
- Our defence has improved a lot.
- We are way more resilient as a team, we don't capitulate every game like we used to under the smallest amount of pressure.
- We look better against bigger sides.
- Seems to be excellent tactically.
Anyone saying Arteta needs to go right now, think for a minute. Give him the winter window, allow Martinelli to come back in. Give Arteta this season to prove himself.
If we completely bomb out for whatever reason then even I will be questioning things. But its naive and narrow minded to expect everything you want at once, we'll have bumps and go through difficulties. Roll with it.
