12 goals and 5 assists is an improvement this season.
I think he’s done ok, been very much in and out of the team, even after he’s scored in a previous match he’s often been left out of the following game.
This method doesn’t allow players to get some form together, as you mention he’s more productive on the right as well as that’s where he’s at his best, this season it’s been too stop start, despite this his return is decent.
Far too much switching, chopping and changing under Arteta. The defenders keep changing, the midfield combos as well. It doesn't help.
Very true, the trick to getting some success is trying to keep some continuity, to have as settled a first 11 as possible, that doesn’t mean not making changes but they should be minimal and players in form should play.
Arteta just changes players all the time unless you’re one of his few favourites in which case you’ll get an extended run regardless of performances.
That comment about Xhaka sums him up, he’s clueless and too stubborn for his own good, Xhaka is poor as full back (he’s poor in midfield too!), the fact Arteta trusts him there just shows how he just doesn’t know what he’s doing.
