How much is it Arteta and how much is it the players? I love that the team is winning but I’m struggling to be excited by these guys. You get past Aubameyang, Saka, Tierney and Leno and it it’s just like yeah they’re guys playing for us. The rest don’t leave you with either a sense of expectation like Ozil or Cazorla could at his peak or a sense of comfort that there’s a grown man on the ball.
Well, there are teams playing decent football with average players all over the world.
It's not a stylistic thing either; couterattacking football can be just as thrilling (and for me more so) as possession football. Playing at a medium tempo, playing deep and struggling to put more than 3-4 passes together is horrible to watch.
I'm not expecting anyone to agree, it's subjective, but for me Arteta is 50/50 with big questions still to answer.
