Thinking Arteta is more suited to the holding role given the way we play--see the run at the end>>

[Alfred C. Jolibois, PhD]

of last year. Of course, Arteta and Flam is normally extra protection, but if we can only play one, i will go with Mikel. CBs were cruelly exposed time and again and Flam--perhaps tired--was overrun. Jack in the center of the park--where he constantly drifted--is a problem these days as he no longer passes and just tries to dribble or run past players even if our own half, which will not work with a midfield having the quality of City. So he just loses the ball and falls on the ground, while most of he team is in front of him.

On the positive side, Theo is back and is a quality winger and finisher, and we always looked like scoring. We just looked frail in a way we have not for 10 months now
