James Never doubted the man. Truthfully.
I was definitely worried when he was stamping his authority on the dressing room and there seemed to be quite a few cracks showing. But each time, it was very noticeable how the bulk of our squad seemed content with his big decisions.
I think in years to come we might see a few issues emerge, but Arteta appears to be an ideal leader for the young and buoyant squad he's built.
It takes acumen to recruit a team around you you're going to be good at leading. It's been sensible for this manager who's only just gone 40 to focus on youth.
