I haven’t seen much of Arsenal in the preseason and in the league so far, but what I have seen is worrying me a bit. I appreciate your articles, it helps me gain some understanding of what’s going on. Thank you!
Great read, it felt very needed given the meltdown in the last week and, specially, yesterday.
One thing I’d note is that, if this wasn’t mostly a tactical move, Arteta would have used a natural left CB - Kiwior - rather than change the shape and functions of several players. This was his most common approach when replacing players in the past, since the desire was to tweak the system the least amount possible.
Thanks! I include myself in that pre-game meltdown, for the record. Really surprised me when the XI came out. But I agree totally on the Kiwior point too, we're just doing things differently
Thanks for this Lewis. Together with folks like Billy Carpenter and Sam Dean you’re making it easier to understand our evolution. Kudos.

Thanks for the kind words! If it helps, I do really like what I've seen 😬 even if the opposition hasn't been strong
