I think arteta shows some games where he matures with his tactics and last night was one of those times.
Our approaches to the city and sevilla games were very reserved compared to our usual. City because they’re City and Sevilla because a European away night against a crowd that big calls for a more managed and level headed approach to a game.
His next challenge is to find a way to prevent teams nullifying odegaard. The diamond Chelsea employed was super effective at that and other teams have been doing it too.
Would love for odegaard to get one on Saturday. Sheffield United are going to try and sit back so arteta can inject a bit of creativity and attacking flair back into the team. Imperative we sort something out before the Newcastle away game
I know it rained for both teams but I truly think we had a fine approach to the Chelsea game but the rain ruined it. We played ball manipulators and were banking on tight passing combos to beat Chelsea’s setup. Unfortunately we couldn’t get any of that going at all, which basically made Jorginho and Zinchenko useless
Not sure if he didn’t want to change the team so close to the game after creating a plan when it became clear it was going to be pouring, but the ideas he had clearly weren’t executed and required adaptation (fantastic adaptation in the end)
