Greetings bruv, yeah let questions be asked. Pep, Ancelloti, Zidane and the top guns don't care about those questions, that's why they are where they are. That's where Arteta needs to improve, in his craft.

Then when you say they are well over six feet as if they are even up to 6ft 3. Secondly, push them forward and be susceptible to the dangerous counters by West Ham?
See, you can hardly see any pure blooded possession club(eg Barca or Man City), ever go for that system you are suggesting.

You revealed something telling there, when you spoke of Arsenal not being quick enough on the counter. That comes back to my point; I said the bench is rich enough to solve such an issue– Saka at least. If the issue was solved you won't even think of this your plan B.

Smith Rowe is more direct and quick through the middle, you ought to be surprised he isn't getting much time. So it's basically on the coach, for me I've known this about him long ago, but he's a fast learner and he has improved massively with regards making proper and prompt changes.

Cheers
