I’m all on and will always be on the Arteta train but one thing I don’t like is his rigidity. He seems deathly afraid of moving people around because his system has been cultivated to only really allow specific profiles to play in specific positions to get the best out of the team.
nketiah has played lw and st
jesus and trossard have played all over the front 3
havertz has played lcm, rcm, striker
Nelson has played lw/rw
Partey has played dm/rb
rice has played dm/lcm
tomi has played all over the backline
white has played cb/rb
esr has played lcm/rcm/lw
Vieira has played lcm/rcm/rw
what else do you want? lol
These have all been due to injury and not merely tactical.
He did play Havertz in Odegaard’s role, today. Who’s someone you think should be tried in another position? For me it’s Havertz as striker. I thought he looked excellent against City in the Community Shield and wonder why we haven’t tried that again.
