I think the midfield 3 has gone from being the major liability of the side in terms of the way it functions to its main strength.
Even when we were top of the league last season the balance wasn't right, Aaron was basically doing all the work.
For starters, it was always going to take time for the players to get used to a new system, especially in a shortened pre season which followed the World Cup.
However, it took far too long and some of it was down to instruction may be, and some of it definitely down to the quality of players in the midfield positions, each player being a vital cog.Â
Ramsey and Santi weren't in form, just didn't achieve the technical level and Wilshere as usual inconsistent. Arteta has barely been fit and Flamini regressed incredibly.
Coquelin's inclusion and these players find form has mostly really helped along with them now getting used to the system.
