Arteta is following much the same trajectory as Emery did towards the end.
- Tinkering constantly with the lineup due to injuries
- Playing 3 up top to fit in Pepe/Willian, pushing Aubameyang way out wide
- All chance creation responsibilities handed to fullbacks and wingers because the midfield is awful
The difference is that Arteta has brought some discipline to the defense. But on the other hand he made the attack too regimented. With Emery we shipped too many goals too often, but the attack was solid despite the lack of creation in midfield.
