Teams blocking off our double pivot entry passes (Chelsea did well) means we need to create openings elsewhere. One way is to have the gk bait a player into pressing him, another is to take up a CB position in the backline. Raya is a safer and less shaky player than Aaron, so he’s been tasked with significantly higher risk scenarios where these traits are tested.

Not saying he’s been lights out by any means but I hope he figures it out, as in theory this is a very proactive and incredible approach by Arteta
