well that was crap

Things arteta can be blamed for:

Odd selections - especially the willian love-in and lack of willingness to play martinelli;
Slow starts and lack of courage/confidence - particularly not playing forward balls in the first 20 mins of games (featuring long dawdling on the ball by Holding and Gabriel when the rest of the team have passed it back to them).
Defensive mindset when team is ahead

Things he cant:

Woeful finishing this season by Aubamayang, Lacazette, Saka
Panic stations when defending narrow leads in last 15 mins - see spurs for details and last night.
Injuries to Tierney and Cant quite believe I am saying this, Luiz.
Selling our back up left back without a replacement (if that is down to him)

Things he can be praised for:

Team has a pattern of play
Rehabilitation of xhaka - whatever the thoughts of whether he is ultimately good enough, we really miss hi when he is not there.
Determination not to put up with unprofessional ****e from aubamayang.
