We went down this route with the summer dealings. Arteta replacing Fabregas tends to have that effect. Of course the quality's gone down, but the balance is intended to shift from that area. If we didn't have retards on the flanks I am quite sure we'd be really happy about the new found solidity and direct approach. For all Arteta's limitations, I can't see how you can't see he hasn't provided this. Proof is in the pudding since he arrived.
