As for the pitch - since we have one at the training ground the disadvantages are minimal, but there are some.
Arsene summed it up for you:
It’s not the same because it’s a dry pitch and I’ve heard that Sutton have a wet pitch, they water it before the game so it’ll be much quicker. It means the weight on the joints is stronger, you cannot glide, you have to block every time so it makes football a bit different because the ball comes to you and somebody accelerates and doesn’t slow down like in a normal game so you have to get used to the difference in speed."

Those pitches are horrible when they're watered (even at rubbish 7 a side level). I'm glad Arteta has left, it would wreck his pristine hair.
