I was just saying this the other day. Arteta was saying he likes everything to be random so opponents can’t guess and then we play the exact same style for games, even when Havertz doesn’t look good. I like Havertz, he’s a big game player, but he’s not a week-in/week-out striker and him being unavailable for large parts of last season, helped us because his space in the lineup was given to others. It’s a case of:
Havertz or Gyökeres or Merino
Ødegaard or Eze
Rice of Bruno
MLS or Zubimendi
And that was another thing, Arteta knows full well that all of Eze’s best moments for us have been through the middle so why was he saying pre-match that he performs best from the left? Let players play in their best positions.
I was thinking Gyokeres should come on around half-time. Shocked he didn’t get subbed on till late.
