I think that's the benefit from getting seasoned pros in, particuarly from the Prem. That was the very least David Moyes would have expected from Arteta. Benayoun was part of a Liverpool side who had a solid defence as well so he would have been drilled for his off the ball duties.

We shouldn't have any concerns on the battling front if last night was anything to go by. Of course it wouldn't be Arsenal though if we solved one problem without creating another, now we seem a bit limited going forward!
