    No proof. As usual.

    You'll judge him at the end of the season?
    What a stupid concept

    I'd say he has already coached the bad habits away. Our stupidity now just comes from incessantly playing it out from the back, which isn't entirely the players fault because I'm sure they're just following instruction.

    This is about as structured, stubborn and regimented as I've ever seen Arsenal play and I think it has become our identity now. Will it be enough to get us back into the CL? I'm not sure but I think we'll at least be in the mix because of it. It's stark contrast to Wenger's final season and Emery where we were just getting overrun and peppered, then just praying Auba or someone could bail us out. Now we don't actually give much away unless it is through unforced errors.

    It's come at a price because there's nothing exciting about watching us play now, but if we were to be successful playing this way then I'm sure we'd make peace with it.

    but we're still hoping Auba will bail us out... which is hard when Arteta thinks Willian is a better choice at CF
