Out of all the sticks to beat Arteta with, this idea that he can't coach players is a weird one and not something I'm convinced is grounded in reality. Plenty of our squad have shown growth since he's come in.
Like who? Not trying to argue, genuinely curious, because personally I think only ESR and Saka have shown tangible growth during his reign, and they're both so young it might well be their natural development curve.
It's an easy bone to pick simply because he's practically replaced the entire squad. It's also easy because you can just say whoever's improved substantially was already good in the first place.
That said, it can be said Xhaka has improved, even though he can never get rid of his brainfarts. Elneny improved. Holding improved to about the level he can reach. Pepe improved, which makes his constant benchwarming even less tolerable.
