It’s a very weird position for Woolwich. Prior to the son Kronke sticking money in and fixing the squad Arteta did really fix them up.
He got rid of players who wouldn’t work enough, set up a tough system, he moved them on from their banter era. However he for some reason cannot take the brake off when he needs to and is now holding them back but he has to much credit to be fired.
Reminds me of his mentor Moyes. Great manager but when he went to United and had to play more expansive he couldn’t do it. It’s not an intelligence thing it’s a mindset, he always needs to feel in control, he can’t let the brakes off and allow Eze and Saka to do their thing, he needs control but that makes them far more easy to defend against than what they should be.
