I guess people don't understand why Arteta told us to play that way?
He just watched Leicester batter Man City, who have a plethora of creative players but struggled to really break Leicester down through central areas. Their best moments came out wide.
What does Arteta do? He told Xhaka to offer cover as the LCB which allowed Tierney to bomb forward. Similar system was implemented allowing Bellerin to bomb forward.
Times in the game where this worked very well -
Arteta's downfall was pushing hard for the goal but then allowing Xhaka to be against Under/Vardy down the other end.

Times in the game where this worked very well -
- Tierney's ball in to Auba for the header, probably should've done better.
- Luiz crossfield ball to Tierney who should've done better considering the position he was in.
- Bellerin opportunity on the volley from Auba's cross from the left
