Hate the expression. but we rally "keep our shape" these days don't we?

[Alfred C. Jolibois, PhD]

Arteta as DM is the right way for us. Disciplined, protects the back four, gets the passing going and does not give the ball away. You can see how this can be quite the midfield when Jack comes back to partner with Santi in front of him. Like the look of Giroud and Pod will be super for us as well. Would still start Theo or ox ahead of Gerv, but that's aminor quibble.

Seriosuly, if we can keep clean sheets now, we will contend for the title.
