We have a lopsided system to create overloads and therefore space for Auba our best player. I should be asking you how you can't see that.
Bellerin is just as good on the ball as Tierney. KT isn't Monreal, as for Pepe he's clearly talented just not used enough or correctly. If his goal last week was a fluke then he has a whole season in Ligue1 that shows what he can do with the ball.
For that to make sense our overloads would need to be on the opposite side, and switch play. It doesn’t happen. We’ve stuck him on the left touch line where he’s had 6 shots on goal all season.
How is that getting the best out of a guy who only became taken seriously at the top level after being converted from the wing to a full time centre forward?
Unlike Xhaka, Auba wasn’t exactly struggling with our system before Arteta showed up. The structure he implemented was to mitigate our flaws.
