He's got a big decision to make after we complete our signings.
Do we carry on with the Atletico defend aggressively and hit hard on the counter when we can that he's been doing with the 3-4-3 or does he switch to the elite teams 4-3-3 / 4-2-3-1 possession football?
We've been doing so well with the current set up we may have a bit of a dodgey start if we switch and don't nail it.
After seeing the likes of Bayern, PSG, Barca, City in the CL I do have my concerns about Arteta's dream of turning us into that sort of team ........... you need the players to dominate in a skill vs skill set up and we don't have players like they do.
Our current set up creates a different battle of defend priority with a sharp counter which means our players don't have to compete in the same way as a PSG vs Madrid do in the middle of the park.
I trust Arteta though, he'll know if its not working and this is really going to be down to what players we can bring in to start the season.
