Oh bless, you think we thought Arteta was a better coach than Conte?
No.
It was that we had 2 shit RWBs, Romero and Dier out with Sanchez playing, Winks playing in CMF, GLC, TND and Dele stinking the dressing room and training ground up and Kane still dragging his feet.
Gradually all those ills have been remedied in various orders and as that has happened, lo and behold, our form and performances have improved.
Everyone knows Conte is a better coach than Arteta. But there's only so much he can do with what was, at the time, a poor squad that even the good players weren't performing for.
