That's it- it's Dubai. Without that form after Dubai, I would just assume that Arteta is incapable of coaching anything else.

But he isnt. Did he not like those performances? Or does he prefer these? Or is he unable to recapture whatever spirit they found out there?

That is what bugs me. Can he not see where it is going wrong?
Yes, exactly. But my conclusion, therefore, is that it is not as simple as Arteta teaching them to play that way, or not teaching them to play another way. If that was the issue we would not have seen the performances in the CL and in the league (less so) that we have.

I think the problem is more complex. Far too complex for a bunch of windbags on the internet like us to understand.
