Right from day one and all the way through including yesterday. He has one of the best attitudes and work ethics in the game today.

Arteta, is a beast in that Dm role. As long as he keeps doing what he is doing we will be ok. Leave the Creatvity to the likes or Santi and Jack etc.

Jack is dead

Santi cant do it on his own

Arteta needs to do his bit

[Power n Glory]

He doesnt have to do what Song did ie run upfront at every opportunity

Just play the ball forward more often, speed up our attack

That's what annoys me about him sometimes. When playing that deep, I don't think he realises that he sometimes has time to turn to play the ball forward. The short passing backwards and sideways can put others under pressure. But saying that, he's no slouch and when on his game he goes in for the mean tackle.
