More Consistent Than Arteta
its gonna be the year of Joe.Yeah exactly. He was at the base of the double pivot. 94% pass completion (42/46) and 2 assists in 70 minutes. Opposition notwithstanding, there’s more to come in that position.

Same with Nelson and eddie, he is not grabbing the opportunity with both hands. Has to do it outside of league /fa cup and Europa competitions.
There is no free flowing football anymore in modern football. Player’s positioning and movements are micro-managed and “pre-installed“ to the player’s mind. “Free” football is just too easy to be exploited.One thing nobody talks about with our academy kids is what a culture shock it must be to have been learning Wengerball since childhood and be used to quick free flowing expressive football played at pace and then try to transition to this garbage Arteta is coaching. Even someone like Willock who is limited technically will have come up playing far more fluid football than this. It's no coincidence that our football looks better the more of our academy lads are on the pitch. They aren't playing Arteta's draconian football they're doing their best to play Wengerball. My great fear actually is that Arteta's awful football seeps down to the academy level and poisons the well for future managers.

You can still play very attacking and beautiful flowing play with micro-managed tactics. It’s just that the play are all pre-practised rather than being “free”.
For example, Guardiola’s teams are very disciplined too. He applies micro-managed tactics into an attacking philosophy (Many other modern mangers would also micro-manage their team, just that they may apply it on another philosophy.) I’m glad that we have a modern manager who can carry out micro-manage tactics in a high degree, that’s a must for modern football. But it will be better if we can play with a more attacking/entertaining philosophy.
It's not working well for him as number 10, but I'm 99% positive he was playing deep in midfield in his last u23 season, so why do our managers push him forward so much? I understand that he can score, but his goals are mostly coming from him when he arrives late in the box, a style suited for a b2b midfielder.
I'm also fairly disappointed with his lifestyle, you would want your young academy player to live for football and get better at it, but he is more focused on being stupid, which is probably the reason why he didn't improve at all for the last 2 seasons

A lot of times when you see players looking uninterested or being sloppy is because of the excessive partying. No one really talks about it, but most of the players, especially the young players do not live and breathe football.
