great performance overall and more positive signs under arteta.
our on the ball & off the ball patterns of play are really starting to develop and it's exciting to see. it's the one thing i was looking forward to post wenger and was disappointed emery did nothing to develop that side of our game. pep + klopp drill those patterns into players day in day out in training until it becomes natural. we're finally seeing it at arsenal.
i though willock was great, he really suits arteta's system much more than ozil does. hopefully he gets rewarded with league games now.
saka is turning into a special player. to think the lad is playing out of position too, he's hardly put a foot wrong. if i was him id seriously think about carving out a career at left back, he has the perfect manager to guide and teach him.
bellerin is looking better game by game following his injury. those knee ligament injuries are brutal and it takes a while to get back to your best. he looks a lot more confident on the ball and i also noticed he looks less bulky, when he first came back his frame looked too big and he was sluggish but he looks fitter which is good.
no idea how matteo escaped a yellow, their fans must hate him
onto burnley next. UTA!
