It is. And we know he can play.
But he has committed two cardinal sins this season. Switching off and losing his man which cost us a goal, at Villa I think. And being lazy in the press at Brentford.
Thsse are Arteta's 'non negotiables'. This is why it took Martinelli a while to break into the side full time a few years back. Form comes and goes, but if you dont do your work, you dont play.
This is why he loves Odegaard. He always does his work, and he forces others to do theirs.
